Xu Wan felt nauseous, and her face turned ghastly pale. She collapsed feebly by the roadside.

Han Bing felt that there was something wrong with Xu Wan. He hurried forward and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Wan waved her hand, unable to speak. Her expression was still ghastly.

Han Bing rushed to get a bottle of mineral water from inside his car. Xu Wan received the bottle of mineral water and rinsed her mouth with the water. Only after drinking two mouthfuls of water did she feel better.

“I’m fine.” Xu Wan forced herself to stand up. She knew it was morning sickness and became a little flustered. She just wanted to get away from Han Bing.

Although she was a 19-year-old university student, she got pregnant before she even got married. If anyone were to find out about this, they would definitely mock and criticize her.

Xu Wan chuckled bitterly.

Qiao Chen, you really made me suffer.

“You still call this fine? Do you not take your own life seriously? Stop talking, I’ll send you to the hospital!” Han Bing dragged Xu Wan into the car without hesitation.

Xu Wan said anxiously, “I’m really fine! Can you please mind your own business?”

Han Bing glared at Xu Wan with a nasty expression and gritted his teeth. “Xu Wan, I’ve never been so humble all my life. Fine, I don’t care about my dignity anymore, but I just want you to be well!”

The Maybach sped away.

“Brother Chen, this is delicious. Try it…” At the dining table, Bai Zhen bashfully leaned against Qiao Chen as she tried to please her man.

Qiao Chen’s gaze was icy, and he didn’t touch his chopsticks.

After quarreling with his elder brothers, Qiao Chen naturally didn’t stay for dinner. He brought Bai Zhen to the Emperor Hotel and let her order the dishes.

Bai Zhen held the menu and exclaimed at the astronomical prices of all the listed dishes.

“I want this… and this…” Bai Zhen had never seen so many exotic delicacies before. When she saw the dishes on the menu, she wanted to try every single one of them. After ordering in a frenzy for a while, she realized she had already ordered over 20 dishes.

She looked at Qiao Chen nervously, but Qiao Chen replied calmly, “Order whatever you want.”

“Thank you, Brother Chen!” Bai Zhen smiled in surprise and added a dozen more dishes.

Now that the table was filled with dishes, Bai Zhen felt extremely blissful every time she took a bite from each different dish.

Was this what it felt like to be the girlfriend of the richest man in the capital? It felt so good!

But Bai Zhen soon noticed that Qiao Chen didn’t even take a single bite.

Qiao Chen said nothing, and the atmosphere at the table was a little cold and cheerless.

Bai Zhen suddenly felt uneasy. After some time, she put down her chopsticks and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, she started screaming.

Qiao Chen frowned. He looked at Bai Zhen gloomily and asked coldly, “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Chen remembered the time when Bai Zhen first arrived at his residence. He was still looking forward to it before he pushed open the door. However, the moment he saw Bai Zhen, all his hopes were shattered.

The woman from that night was actually this person?

Although the woman in front of him could be considered dazzling, she exuded a tacky aura and her every move carried a sense of crudeness.

At that moment, Qiao Chen wished he could punch himself—what exactly was he expecting!

Yet this woman had saved him. He couldn’t be ungrateful, so Qiao Chen brought Bai Zhen to his side.

If the people who poisoned him knew that Bai Zhen had saved him, they might have thought of taking revenge on Bai Zhen. He also kept Bai Zhen by his side so that she could help him deflect the pressure from his brothers.

Qiao Chen calculated everything meticulously, as if he was doing business.

He only ever saw Bai Zhen as a chess piece on his chessboard.

However, Bai Zhen clearly was not even fit to be a chess piece because she was too noisy.

Qiao Chen wasn’t someone who liked to talk. He hated senseless talk especially, but every sentence Bai Zhen said was basically senseless talk.

Qiao Chen endured it as he thought that this woman was his savior.

Now that Bai Zhen screamed out of the blue, Qiao Chen felt even more annoyed and disgusted. His tone was also slightly angry.

Although Bai Zhen wasn’t a very cunning woman, she still had some tricks up her sleeve. She was also decent at reading the mood. As she saw Qiao Chen’s cold and indifferent gaze on her, she suddenly realized—as expected, a one-night stand still couldn’t ensnare this man’s heart.

She gritted her teeth, and a vicious look flashed across her eyes.

In order to stay by Qiao Chen’s side, she was going all out!

“Brother Chen, my stomach really hurts. I feel like puking!” Bai Zhen whined, sobbing tenderly. She shuffled to Qiao Chen’s side and pressed her soft chest against his body. A few tears fell from her eyes and she looked pitiful.

Bai Zhen knew she was gorgeous, so she had even calculated the angle that would best enhance her beauty. When she fell onto Qiao Chen’s body, her semi-low collars opened slightly, revealing her glistening breasts.

Qiao Chen looked at her indifferently and said monotonously, “Go out and vomit.”

Bai Zhen was speechless

God damn it, does this man not know how to love and care for me?!
