Zhan Jingting reached out and caught her in his arms. Qiao Wanwan threw herself against the man, her lips pressed against his neck.

A man's low chuckle rang in her ears, "Miss Qiao, if you want to kiss me, just say so. There's no need for such roundabout methods."

Qiao Wanwan: "..." Could she be any more embarrassing?!

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."

Zhan Jingting gripped her shoulders, his deep voice tinged with a hint of amusement, and said in a low voice, "Not bad, you've already figured out how to seduce me so quickly."

Qiao Wanwan: "!!!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" She turned and glared at him, lowering her voice, "Who threw themselves at you! Who seduced you!"

"Aren't you practically throwing yourself at me?"

Qiao Wanwan looked down and saw that she was lying on the man's chest in a strange and ambiguous position, which really looked like she was throwing herself into his arms!

Qiao Wanwan hurriedly stood up, but the next second, the man grabbed her slender waist and pulled her forcefully, so that the girl sat directly on his lap.

Qiao Wanwan's face flushed red. "What are you doing?"

"Don't move."

Qiao Yuqi stared at their interaction, her mouth agape in shock. It took her a while to recover before she asked, "Who are you people? What's your relationship with Wanwan?"

“You have no right to know.” Jiang Dong walked towards Wang Chuning and slapped her twice across the face.

Wang Chuning was instantly stunned.

Jiang Dong instructed, "She just made Miss Qiao drink, give her double the amount back."

The two bodyguards immediately held Wang Chuning down and poured the wine into her mouth.

"No... um..." Wang Chuning was powerless to break free and was forced to swallow mouthfuls of strong liquor.

"You can't treat Chu Ning like this!" Qiao Yuqi stepped forward and said, "This is my home. How dare you trespass on private property? Do you know that's illegal?"

"This is my home too." Qiao Wanwan wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth. "Qiao Yuqi, I'm the one who let them in. Do you have a problem with that?"

Qiao Yuqi was momentarily speechless, but quickly added, "Stop it! Do you know who I am? I'm not only the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, but also the fiancée of the young master of the Gu Group. You'd better watch out!"

"Miss Qiao?" Jiang Dong smiled faintly. "The most important thing in life is to know your own limitations. Never forget that the blood of a thief flows in your veins."

"As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole. You should stay put and dig your hole quietly and not cause trouble, otherwise you won't even know how you died."

Qiao Yuqi trembled with anger. She hated it most when people talked about her background! Especially about that damned thief!

"You dare to humiliate me? If you have the guts, leave your name. I will not let this go!"

"You are not worthy to know."

Qiao Wanwan coldly watched this scene, then looked away and pushed Zhan Jingting's hand, "Let go of me, I need to go upstairs to get something."

"I'll go with you."

Zhan Jingting followed Qiao Wanwan to the second floor.

This is a small room facing north, which never sees sunlight and doesn't even have a separate bathroom.

Zhan Jingting frowned. "The Qiao family lets you live in a place like this?"

Qiao Wanwan took out her suitcase and started packing. "It's just a place to sleep, no need to be so fancy."

Zhan Jingting didn't say anything, just quietly watched her pack her things.

Qiao Wanwan didn't have much stuff; she managed to pack half a suitcase.

When Wang Chuning came downstairs, he had been forced to drink an unknown amount of alcohol and was clearly drunk.

Qiao Yuqi stepped forward, took Qiao Wanwan's hand, and asked anxiously, "Wanwan, where are you going with your luggage? Who exactly is this man?"

Qiao Wanwan pulled her hand back and slapped her across the face.

"Smack!"

A crisp slap landed, and Qiao Yuqi's face was turned to the side.

She covered her left cheek, looking at Qiao Wanwan in disbelief, "How could you hit me?"

"Why can't I hit you?" Qiao Wanwan sneered. "Wearing a hypocritical mask, pretending to be innocent, and letting your bunch of lackeys stand up for you, Qiao Yuqi, I feel tired just looking at you."

Qiao Yuqi was on the verge of tears, looking so wronged that it was heartbreaking. "Wanwan, I didn't."

“I’m not blind, I can see very clearly, but I know you don’t have the guts to admit it, Qiao Yuqi, you’re so pitiful, you can only live with a mask on forever.”

A flash of resentment crossed Qiao Yuqi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by righteous indignation as she spoke, "Wanwan, is this the man you've been hooking up with these past few days while you've been missing? Are you planning to leave with him? You're supposed to be the daughter of the Qiao family, how can you do something so disgraceful?"

Qiao Wanwan ignored her and pushed her suitcase away.

Once the two were in the car, Qiao Wanwan finally had a chance to express her gratitude, "Thank you for coming in and saving me."

Zhan Jingting said, "It's only right to help my girlfriend out of a predicament; there's no need to thank me."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Zhan Jingting, I'm very curious." Qiao Wanwan turned to look at the man beside her, "Are you really not bothered by my limp and ugly appearance?"

Zhan Jingting frowned slightly, looking quite displeased. "Do I need to prove it?"

Qiao Wanwan sensed a hint of danger and shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I believe you!"

She didn't feel happy; instead, she felt waves of heartache.

Her fiancé betrayed her because she was lame and ugly, but a stranger she met by chance accepted her without hesitation.

How ridiculous.

Zhan Jingting raised his hand and ruffled her hair. "You still dare to think about other men while I'm by your side?"

Qiao Wanwan: "!!!"

"Do you have mind-reading abilities? How do you know what I'm thinking?"
