Becoming The Business Magnate's Spoiled Wife-Chapter 43 - Showing Affection

Pa!

Mr. Qu smashed his glass and pointed at Qu Qi angrily, “What a great idea you came up with!”

It had only been five minutes since Qu Xiao’s clarification was released, but the direction of public anger had been completely reversed. Shang Yan was definitely behind it!

Qu Qi stared at the online forums and her eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred as she clenched her fists.

Shang Yan actually did this for Qu Xiao?

Qu Qi’s eyes flickered as her gaze landed on Mr. Qu. She spoke in a provocative tone, “Dad, the netizens have misunderstood you! The reason why you’re so strict with Qu Xiao is because you’re worried! You’re worried that your daughter will make mistakes and get bullied…”

“Shang Yan is from a very high profile family and he usually treats Qu Xiao coldly. You’re just afraid that he has other women outside.”

Qu Qi’s eyes were bewitching and encouraging as she said firmly, “You were only asking Qu Xiao to steal Shang Group’s secrets so that she could use them as a way out if anything happens. What great fatherly love!”

There was a vicious scheme hidden behind these words. Mr. Qu slapped his knees in delight and immediately posted the long reply.

This time, everyone’s attention was focused on Qu Xiao and Shang Yan’s relationship.

The emotions of the netizens were extremely mouldable. Rather than talking about a father-daughter battle, they probably liked gossiping about relationship matters more. For example, a financial bigwig and his wife who seemed to be in love, but in reality, there was no love in their marriage…

Qu Qi wiped the corners of her lips with her fingertips. She wondered how Qu Xiao would be able to reverse the situation this time!

Relationships could not withstand scrutiny and trial. She would have no way to prove to netizens that their relationship was genuine. In this war of public opinion, Qu Xiao was destined to fail!

Even if Shang Yan removed the trending searches and news about their relationship, the jokes and discussions of the netizens would cause cracks to appear in their relationship!

At the same time, Qu Xiao stared at her phone screen with a depressed expression, her eyebrows furrowed as she bit her fingertip.

Qu Qi’s tricks were brilliant. Netizens even found some evidence to prove that Shang Yan and Qu Xiao indeed were in a loveless marriage. For example, Shang Yan was never seen wearing his wedding ring in public, and the employees of the Shang group rarely saw Qu Xiao.

There were even IDs of people who were supposedly friends with Shang Yan who jumped in to say that he did not have any feelings for Qu Xiao and that it was just a business marriage. Qu Xiao bit her lips tightly as she turned her head to stare at Shang Yan. She felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Very quickly, she ran to Shang Yan’s side.

Qu Xiao grabbed his well-defined palm. Her slender fingers held his, and the two pairs of hands intertwined with each other.

Since Shang Yan hated taking photos and showing his face, Qu Xiao decided to take pictures of them holding hands to clarify things. Although taking sweet and affectionate selfies with Shang Yan would be more effective, this was the only way in which Qu Xiao wouldn’t have to be forceful towards Shang Yan.

Soon, Qu Xiao found a good angle and snapped two photos.

She looked at the pictures with satisfaction and briskly ran back to the sofa. She posted the photos and added, “Thank you for your concern, our relationship is going very well!”

Shang Yan lowered his head and stared blankly at his left hand that still had the warmth of her palm.

The Butler coughed twice and signaled using his eyes to Shang Yan to look at Qu Xiao’s social media account.

(Who knows if the hand in the photo is Shang Yan’s. She could have found this picture on the internet and reposted it.)

(Qu Xiao, don’t lie to yourself! Shang Yan doesn’t even want to acknowledge you as his wife. Hurry up and get a divorce…]

(She’s not going to get a divorce. It’s a business marriage after all. It’s all about money! She’s beautiful, I didn’t expect him to…]

The comments were filled with hostility. All kinds of rumors and sarcastic remarks made Qu Xiao depressed. Although she didn’t need to prove to anyone that their relationship was genuine, it was true that this matter had an impact on her mood. She was so affected to the point where she begin to suspect if Shang Yan was really going to divorce her. Could their current affection towards each other be an illusion? f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

Qu Xiao’s eyes were filled with tears as she twisted her fingers and her shoulders drooped down in frustration.

Seeing those groundless comments, Shang Yan looked up at the petite figure in the living room and frowned as he tapped on his phone screen.

After ten minutes, Qu Xiao had originally wanted to turn off her phone because she was getting too affected by the negative comments However, she caught a glimpse of the latest comments from the corner of her eye.

[Ah! CEO Shang and Qu Xiao’s relationship is so sweet!)

[The way they show off their love is so cute! I hope my boyfriend learns from CEO Shang]

Qu Xiao rubbed her eyes. When she saw the screenshot posted by the netizens, her pupils could not help but dilate. Shang Yan had actually posted a photo of them holding hands on his official account that he had not used for a long time! ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

By doing so, he was indirectly acknowledging her statement just now!

“This photo is very nice. I like it very much.”

Shang Yan had unknowingly appeared beside Qu Xiao. A faint smile hung on his thin lips as he habitually rubbed the top of her hair.

Qu Xiao was immersed in his pair of his dark and bottomless eyes. Her ears were tingling as she lowered her eyes and quickly nodded her head.
