Qin Yunlang wanted to spend a night of intimacy with Qiao Zhixia, but his two sons stood in the middle, separating them.

After waiting for a long time, they finally fell asleep, and Qiao Zhixia also fell asleep.

Maybe because he didn't get to eat meat, he didn't sleep well that night. The next day, when Assistant Lin came to pick him up, he almost laughed out loud when he saw the dark circles under his eyes.

The boss is really working hard, he's been fighting all night!

Looking at Qiao Zhixia again, she looked visibly rosy-cheeked and full of energy.

As expected, there are cows that die from plowing, but there are no fields that are damaged!

Qiao Zhixia made an appointment with him to see a Chinese doctor for a follow-up check-up in the evening and told him not to delay.

Qin Yunlang showed up on time in the evening, but before coming, he specifically sent the two little cubs to the villa and handed them over to Ruan Fengjiao.

He also made a dinner appointment with his friends in the evening to formally introduce Qiao Zhixia to his friends in his circle.

The two of them went for a follow-up check together. The old doctor examined Qin Yunlang carefully and then changed his medicine.

They said that I could consider stopping the medicine after taking it for another six months.

After coming out of the clinic, I just went over to have dinner.

The car stopped at the most luxurious Swan Hotel in Guangzhou.

Qin Yunlang and Qiao Zhixia walked into the hotel lobby, and the dazzling crystal chandeliers reflected their exquisite attire.

Qin Yunlang was wearing a custom-made casual suit, which made him look particularly handsome and tall, while Qiao Zhixia was wearing a light blue suit, which exuded a sense of intelligence and mystery in her elegance.

They were led to a private room, which was already filled with Qin Yunlang's friends.

When everyone saw Qiao Zhixia, they looked at her with curiosity and admiration.

"Second Young Master, are you finally willing to bring your sister-in-law out for us to see?" The man joked with a smile.

Qin Yunlang introduced with a smile: "This is Qiao Zhixia, my wife."

"My sister-in-law is so beautiful! No wonder the second young master is unwilling to bring her out easily..." Everyone started to make a fuss and the atmosphere was very lively.

Qiao Zhixia's smiling eyes swept across the circle of men around the table, and finally stopped at the only girl besides her.

After taking a closer look at the girl's face, she was slightly startled, but before she could remember the girl's name, Jiang Mian stood up first. She ignored Qiao Zhixia's presence, looked at Qin Yunlang with spring in her eyes, and said softly in a pinched voice:

"Alang, you guys are finally here. We've been waiting for you. If you're late, you'll be fined for drinking~"

Seeing his familiar look, Qiao Zhixia frowned slightly and cast a suspicious look at Qin Yunlang.

Qin Yunlang looked at the unexpected guest and his expression darkened. "Who asked you to come?"

After saying that, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Mian was the cousin of an old friend in his circle. He looked at Jiang Yan, the man next to Jiang Mian, as if questioning him with his eyes why he brought her here?

Jiang Yan looked embarrassed and quickly stood up to smooth things over for the aggrieved Jiang Mian: "Yun Lang, the newspaper article in Country Y was a misunderstanding. It was just a coincidence that she and you went in and out of the same hotel. She is also a victim. We have already found out that the person who deliberately created public opinion is one of your opponents. Mian Mian is innocent."

In order to prove Jiang Mian's innocence, Jiang Yan even produced evidence that the real murderer had confessed. That person was a rival of Qin Yunlang in the competition for the same development land. He admitted that the Maitong Newspaper reported the false scandal in order to dissuade Qin Yunlang and give himself the opportunity to get the land.

This statement is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it is not completely impossible. Qin Yunlang does not have evidence to prove that Jiang Mian was the one who did it, so for the sake of Jiang Yan, he chose to ignore Jiang Mian for the time being.

But it was obvious that Jiang Mian didn't want to be ignored like this, and he immediately tried to make his presence felt.

Just as Qin Yunlang personally pulled out a chair for Qiao Zhixia to sit down next to him, Jiang Mian half-seriously and half-jokingly said, "Alang, we are really destined to meet. Country Y is so big, but we live in the same hotel, and even across from each other. What kind of fate is this?"

Qiao Zhixia listened to Jiang Mian's soft and melodious voice. She didn't know what these men were thinking, but she got goosebumps all over her body.

Qin Yunlang, who was standing by, was merciless as soon as he opened his mouth: "You think too much. Meeting someone you like is called fate, and meeting someone you hate is called bad luck."

"Alang, we are engaged, how can you use bad luck to trample on our fate and feelings?" Jiang Mian was obviously aggrieved, and the look he gave Qin Yunlang was as if he was looking at a ungrateful person.

Qiao Zhixia, who was eating silently, heard the word "engagement" and stomped on the back of Qin Yunlang's foot. Qin Yunlang frowned in pain, but still maintained his composure and did not show anything unusual in front of everyone.

He glanced at Jiang Mian coldly, his tone showing obvious displeasure: "Engagement? How come I don't know? Or do you mean the engagement you mentioned is your family's plan to set us up on a blind date? But if I remember correctly, I refused, and we never met for the purpose of dating from the beginning to the end."

Jiang Mian's face flushed. She didn't expect Qin Yunlang to be so ruthless. She glanced at Qiao Zhixia with disdain, then looked at Qin Yunlang and bit her lip and said:

"Who said we've never met before? When you were on the basketball team in college, I brought you water and you drank it."

The whole room was silent, and every pair of eyes looked at Qin Yunlang with interest. Qiao Zhixia also silently put down her chopsticks, waiting for his explanation.

Qin Yunlang's head was buzzing. He frowned and thought carefully, but he couldn't remember any intersection with Jiang Mian.

"I'm really sorry, there were so many people who gave me water at the time that I couldn't remember them all. But what you said can't be true because I never drink water from strangers."

"You..." Jiang Mian choked. It was true that she had given Qin Yunlang some water, and he had thanked her with a smile. But just as Qin Yunlang said, he did not drink her water.

Without waiting for her to speak again, Qin Yunlang reached out and grabbed Qiao Zhixia's shoulders, asserting his sovereignty:

"I'm already married, my wife. Miss Jiang, please be careful with what you say and do in the future. Don't say anything that will cause my wife to misunderstand you. Otherwise, I won't be happy, and you won't be happy either. For your brother's sake, I won't care about what happened today. You can take care of yourself."

When Jiang Mian heard this, his eyes instantly turned red and he looked pitiful, as if Qin Yunlang was the heartless and ungrateful person.

She choked up and said, "Ah Lang, how could you do this to me? The elders of both our families approved of our relationship, and I really like you. Even if you don't like me, you shouldn't be so cruel to me."

Qin Yunlang took a deep breath and tried to suppress his inner irritation. He turned to look at Qiao Zhixia, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly opened his mouth:

"Jiang Mian, your wishful thinking has nothing to do with me. Today I am introducing my wife to my friends, and I don't want any unpleasant things to affect her, do you understand?"

Qiao Zhixia felt a little warm in her heart. She had now realized that it was Miss Jiang who had been obsessed with Qin Yunlang from the beginning to the end. Qin Yunlang had been trying hard to distance himself from her.

It is nonsense to say that a good man is afraid of being entangled. A man must be sober enough and care enough about a woman not to be confused by another woman.

She gently held Qin Yunlang's hand, indicating that it was okay, and then smiled and said to Jiang Mian:

"Ms. Jiang, I believe in my husband. Since he said that you two don't have a so-called engagement, then of course you don't. I know my man is very good, so it's reasonable for Ms. Jiang to be attracted to him. But he is already married, so Ms. Jiang should consider other good men, right?"
