Becoming The Business Magnat - Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Pissed off

Ling Chi. He was a blockade in Qu Xiao’s and Shang Yan’s relationship. Even though Qu Xiao had explained and proved it many times, Shang Yan was still very concerned whenever Ling Chi was involved.

When Qu Zhen seemingly mentioned it unintentionally, Qu Xiao subconsciously retorted, “What are you trying to do? How is it possible…” “Alright, I’ll tell them to let Ling Chi come back.”

With Shang Yan’s cold promise, Qu Zhen immediately smiled gratefully. On the other hand, Qu Xiao, who had yet to finish her sentence, felt an unprecedented awkwardness. It was as if there was a strong flame surrounding her, and she could not help but want to flare up.

Qu Xiao could not help but put down her chopsticks with a sullen face. “I’m going to the bathroom.”

The cold water from the faucet was bone-chilling. Qu Xiao splashed the cold water on her face, trying to maintain her rationality.

It was unknown when Qu Qi had arrived. She leaned against the door frame, her eyes filled with ridicule as she twirled her hair, “You saw it with your own eyes! Shang Yan has a strange relationship with Qu Zhen. Your so-called status as Shang Yan’s wife was all due to luck!”

“If Qu Zhen hadn’t been studying abroad back then, how could you have gotten married to Shang Yan?”

Qu Qi saw the anger forming in Qu Xiao and could not help but sing happily. She continued to say, “No matter how hard you try and fawn on him, even if you give Shang Yan a bewitching potion, you won’t be able to do anything to his relationship with her.”

“I think that one day, Shang Yan might even divorce you to be with Qu Zhen!”

At this moment, it was as if a few knives were stabbing into Qu Xiao’s heart. Her red lips had lost their color, but she still maintained her posture as she turned around and stared at Qu Qi.

“Is that so? Even Qu Xiao can form a relationship with Shang Yan, what about you! Don’t even dream about it…”

“You have a vulgar aura all over you. I’m afraid that all the young masters in the financial circle have blacklisted you for marriage, right?”

Qu Xiao walked to Qu Qi’s side in her high heels and pushed her shoulders away abruptly.

Under Qu Qi’s jealous and hateful gaze, she returned to the dining room. She looked at Shang Yan indifferently and said, “I’m feeling a little uncomfortable. I want to go back.” Shang Yan noticed that her lips were very pale. Without stopping for a moment, he bade farewell to Qu Zhen and instructed Li to drive them back to the villa.

The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Li sensed that something was wrong and held his breath, not daring to make a sound.

Qu Xiao looked out of the window with a livid expression. Her entire body was filled with resistance as she kept her distance from Shang Yan.

Shang Yan’s eyes were filled with worry as he looked at her side profile. He wanted to hold her hand and check if her body temperature was normal.

Pa!

Qu Xiao slapped his hand away cleanly. The business car came to a stop and she pulled open the car door and left. She walked straight to the villa.

In the bedroom, Qu Xiao grabbed the pillow and silk blanket. She carried the blanket and pillow in her arms as she walked to the guest bedroom.

Shang Yan met her in the corridor. His eyes were filled with confusion as he asked, “What are you doing?”

When Qu Xiao saw him, she though of Qu Qi’s words. She could not help but feel jealous. She mumbled in a hoarse voice, “I’m not feeling well. I’ll be staying next door tonight. You should rest early. Goodbye.”

Bang!

Qu Xiao closed the door behind her and sat on the edge of the bed in a fit. Her eyes were red as she raised her hand to rub the tip of her nose. Suddenly, she raised her head to stare at the ceiling, trying her best to force back the irritation in her heart and the tears that surged up from the corners of her eyes.

Shang Yan seemed to really treat Qu Zhen very well in the past). Any request she made would be met.

At that time, she was completely focused on Ling Chi, so she did not mind.

But the situation now was different! The more Qu Xiao thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She wished she could rush to Shang Yan and question him. However, she was afraid of hearing an answer that would make her sad, so she could only let her imagination run wild while feeling wronged.

In the living room, two floor lamps were emitting a dim yellow light.

Shang Yan guessed that Qu Xiao’s mood was unstable because her period was approaching, so he ordered the butler to boil some brown sugar water and send it to the guest bedroom.

But a few minutes later, Qu Xiao mercilessly rejected the brown sugar water and returned it.

Shang Yan silently stared at the cold brown sugar water, his facial features scrunched up as he muttered, “Why on earth do we have to sleep in separate rooms?”

When the Butler heard him muttering to himself, his footsteps paused.

He guessed that the two of them might have had a misunderstanding, so he kindly analyzed it for Shang Yan, “Young master, have you and Madam been a little too… intimate lately? Madam’s body is already a little weak, so it’s very likely that she isn’t used to it.”
