From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 22 - Happiness is Dead

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Happiness is Dead

Qiao Yi shook off her hand, but Qiao Xin’s grip was too tight, she couldn’t shake it off, and simply let her hold on.

Hearing Qiao Xin’s accusation, Qiao Yi just found it amusing.

“What do you mean I did it on purpose? Was it me who made you switch the proposals? Or was it me who made you steal the spotlight from me? At least use your brain when you speak, don’t let people think the Qiao Family’s young miss is an idiot!”

“You!”

Qiao Xin raised her hand to slap Qiao Yi, but Qiao Yi lightly dodged it by turning her head.

“Getting furious and resorting to violence? Think about the gap between us before you act. I really don’t understand why you always have to do such stupid things.”

...

Taking advantage of Qiao Xin’s extreme anger, Qiao Yi suddenly shook off her hand, retrieving her own wrist that was painfully pinched.

This woman is really crazy, her wrist even turned blue from the pinch!

“How dare you say you didn’t do it on purpose! If it hadn’t been for your intentional concealing from me, not telling me Dad’s real intentions, why would I have changed the proposal! If it wasn’t for…”

“Stop! You’re an adult, how can you be less reasonable than a child in speaking?”

Qiao Yi directly interrupted Qiao Xin’s accusation, impatiently pushed her aside, wanting to walk past her.

“Instead of bothering me, you might as well think about how to explain to Dad, I need to go to eat and have no time to be entangled with you.”

“Qiao Yi! I am your sister! Ah!”

The savage look on Qiao Yi’s face was unmistakable, and Qiao Xin’s face was slapped so hard that one side of it swelled up in minutes, showing how much force Qiao Yi exerted.

“Qiao Xin, this is my last warning to you! Stop mentioning the word ‘sister’ in front of me, the sister I remember died the night you plotted against me! You should have known, the moment you acted, there was no sisterhood between us anymore!”

It had been almost a month, and Qiao Yi never dared to think back to that night.

She didn’t know what she would have gone through if Lu Yanchuan hadn’t shown up, she didn’t dare to think about it, and had carefully avoided the topic this whole month.

But today, Qiao Xin’s pestering made Qiao Yi unable to hold back anymore, her whole body trembling, her eyes red with rage staring at Qiao Xin, her voice shrill from anger.

“When you drugged me, did you think about being my sister? When you brought a group of people to rape me, did you think about being my sister? I will never forgive you, never in my life!”

Qiao Xin, her limbs cold, leaned against the glass window, not even having the courage to look directly at Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi’s icy gaze seemed to carry a murderous intent, harshly cutting into her flesh, making her whole body stiffen unable to move.

“I’ve said all I could, cope with it yourself.”

Qiao Yi dropped a sentence and turned around to leave. Not far, Lu Ming had been keeping an eye on the situation, and only when Qiao Yi left did he run over to help Qiao Xin up from the ground.

“Your face…? Did Qiao Yi hit you? But you are her sister, how could she do this to you!”

Lu Ming felt indignant for Qiao Xin, but she impatiently pushed him away.

“This is between us, you don’t need to worry.”

Lu Ming looked displeased, but still clenched his teeth and followed Qiao Xin.

“I am concerned about you, after all, we’re married, I can’t just watch you being bullied.”

“Then I really thank you.”

Qiao Xin said expressionlessly, speeding up her steps to walk ahead.

Lu Ming wanted to catch up and say more, but suddenly his phone rang from his pocket.

“Ming, I will be back in the country in a month, do you miss me?”

The handset emitted a delicate and naive voice, and Lu Ming’s face immediately softened, his response gentle, “Of course, I miss you the most. Take care of yourself overseas. I’ll pick you up when you return.”

Qiao Yi was so angered by Qiao Xin that she forgot about dinner until she reached her room door and remembered.

However, she was too lazy to go downstairs for dinner and drank two canisters of chicken soup brought by Old Mr. Lu, cuddling with a pillow on the sofa in a daze.

When Lu Yanchuan returned from outside, what he saw was a little dazed lump on the sofa.

“Eat less before bed, it’s not good for your health.”

Qiao Yi twitched her nose and her gaze landed on Lu Yanchuan’s hand, her eyes instantly lighting up.

“It’s spicy hot pot!”

The food box in his hand was snatched away, and Lu Yanchuan frowned as he looked at the messy, greasy things on the table, opening his mouth as if he wanted to stop Qiao Yi from eating these unhealthy foods.

However, seeing Qiao Yi munching away like a little mouse, her cheeks bulging, made Lu Yanchuan’s heart melt, and he sat down silently across from her.

Happiness is having a hot bowl of spicy hot pot when you’re hungry at night!

Qiao Yi was blissfully happy now, a big bowl of spicy hot pot had entered her stomach, making her lie on the sofa unable to move.

After taking a shower, Lu Yanchuan came out to see Qiao Yi in such a disheveled state, hooked his lips in a smile, walked over to close the lid of the spicy hot pot box, and kicked Qiao Yi’s legs lightly with his foot.

“Are you dead?”

Qiao Yi didn’t even open her eyes, just wiggled her little feet to show she’s still alive.

“Go to the gym for a walk.”

Qiao Yi opened her eyes slightly, tilting her head back to look up at Lu Yanchuan standing above her.

The more time Qiao Yi spent with this man, the more she felt he was like an old cadre!

Needing to drink hot water, sleep on time, meals must have balanced nutrition without snacks; hot pot like this probably never appeared in Lu Yanchuan’s life!

Although he was five, six, seven, eight years older than her, he was still not quite thirty years old, yet living like Old Mr. Lu!

Qiao Yi closed her eyes pretending to sleep, while Lu Yanchuan quietly stood beside her for a while, then suddenly picked her up amidst her screams.

“You! You! Put me down!”

Qiao Yi screamed and hit Lu Yanchuan’s arms, but Lu Yanchuan seemed unfazed and carried her into the gym, propping her onto the treadmill.

“Walk for ten minutes, then go shower and sleep.”

Qiao Yi was about to cry!

“I don’t want you to control me! Why are you treating me like this!”

Barefoot, Qiao Yi ran out, but in a twist, she was picked up by Lu Yanchuan and placed back on the treadmill, which he turned on for a slow walk.

Unable to escape, Qiao Yi mournfully watched her feet on the treadmill, looking like mortal enemies.

Glancing at Lu Yanchuan really admiring his patience, he watched her walk for ten minutes before letting her down from the treadmill!

Lu Yanchuan then went to sleep, his daily routine so precise it made one’s scalp tingle!

If it were Qiao Yi, she probably couldn’t stick to it for three days!

Teary-eyed, Qiao Yi stood under the shower and pointed at the showerhead as she angrily cursed.

“Pervert!”
