If she wasn't dreaming, then she had been reborn? Reborn back to this day eight years ago?
Very good!
Eight years ago, Qi Jincheng was still standing in front of her, and her maternal grandfather, uncles, and brothers were still alive and well!
Although at this time, Qi Jincheng had not yet fallen in love with her, and only had a one-sided possessiveness, they came together entirely because of that marriage contract.
But it doesn't matter, in this life, it's her turn to love him and pamper him!
Qiao Xi was overjoyed, looking at the man who was pinning her down, her eyes filled with undisguised love.
She didn't struggle at all, and instead acted as if she was completely at his mercy, emphasizing to him word by word, "Unless the person I'm eloping with is you, I have no interest in other men."
Qi Jincheng frowned instantly. Just two hours ago, she was acting like she was going to fight him to the death to prevent him from touching her. Has she learned her lesson now?
How could someone say something like that?
After a brief eye contact, Qi Jincheng believed that she had slowly loosened her grip, but he still reminded her, "Remember what you just said."
Then he got up and prepared to walk out the door.
Qiao Xi quickly called out to him, "Where are you going?"
"Go to sleep." Qi Jincheng reverted to his usual cold demeanor.
Upon hearing that he wanted to sleep in a separate room from her, she quickly got out of bed and hugged him from behind, saying, "Don't go."
The moment she hugged him, Qi Jincheng had an indescribable feeling, but it was definitely not disgust.
Qiao Xi said to him very seriously, "Sleeping in separate rooms on our wedding night will cause gossip. I am, after all, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family and the heir of the Bai family. I can't lose face."
Qi Jincheng frowned again. She gently pulled away the small hand that she could easily encircle with her fist from her waist, turned around and said to her in a serious tone, "Qiao Xi, you're an adult now. What you need to say to yourself... um..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Xi shut him up with the simplest method.
Qi Jincheng's pupils widened suddenly, and his whole body was momentarily stunned, but he quickly adjusted to the kiss, and a certain part of his body also felt something special.
Faced with Qiao Xi's initiative and her legitimate status, Qi Jincheng felt there was no need to hold back any longer.
As the kiss ended, Qi Jincheng swept Qiao Xi up and carried her to the bed. Qiao Xi wrapped her arms around his neck and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you, husband."
She deliberately emphasized the word "husband".
Qi Jincheng scrutinized Qiao Xi with a deep gaze. He didn't know what she was up to, but the most likely explanation was that she was making a 'self-sacrifice' to lower his guard!
She could go to such lengths for that man!
Thinking of this, a surge of anger ignited in Qi Jincheng's heart. Since she had chosen this path, he would grant her wish and make her his woman completely!
Lost in thought, Qiao Xi suddenly pushed him away, then nimbly flipped over and sat directly on him.
"Honey, what should you call me?"
Qi Jincheng's throat tightened, and he warned her one last time in his deep, seductive voice, "Madam, don't play with fire."
"Honey, don't you know?" Qiao Xi leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I've loved playing with fire since I was little. Now that I can legally and legitimately play with fire, why shouldn't I?"
"I not only want to play, but I want to play big."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Jincheng could no longer control the desire deep within his heart. He suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, the depth in his eyes replaced by a color he had never seen before, and slowly rolled over to get closer to her...
As dawn broke, Qiao Xi finally succumbed to her exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at her sleeping face, which resembled a porcelain doll, Qi Jincheng couldn't help but kiss her cheek.
Just then, Qiao Xi's phone vibrated again, with a message from the same contact number.
Upon seeing the message, Qi Jincheng's face darkened once again.
[Xiaoxi, are you okay? Why aren't you replying to my messages?]
Qi Jincheng suppressed his anger and wanted to reply, but his hand, which was hovering over the screen buttons, subconsciously withdrew. He then put the phone back on the bedside table and quietly walked out.
In the courtyard, Butler Zhao saw Qi Jincheng and immediately went up to greet him, "Young Master, you've gotten up."
Qi Jincheng, his face not looking too good, coldly ordered him, "From now on, without my permission, Madam is not allowed to step out of Fuyuan Garden."
Butler Zhao nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes."
...
Qiao Xi slept until noon. When she woke up, the person next to her was gone, but his scent was still there. Based on this alone, she was certain that she was not dreaming and that she had really been reborn.
As soon as she moved, she felt a crushing soreness all over her body. She took a deep breath and, supporting her aching back, went to the bathroom.
Looking in the mirror, she saw herself at twenty. Young and beautiful, of course, she was stunning. What she hadn't seen in a long time was the lively spirit between her brows, but unfortunately, it had gradually faded away over the past eight years.
It was all because of her foolishness; she trusted the wrong person, which not only killed herself but also the most important person in her life!
Since God has given her a second chance, she will never repeat the same mistakes.
She will make that despicable couple, as well as her scumbag father and stepmother, pay a hundredfold or a thousandfold price!
In the midst of his rage, a knock came at the door.
After calming herself down, Qiao Xi opened the door.
Aunt Liu stood outside the door and respectfully said to her, "Madam, Miss Qiao Yuan has arrived."
Hmph, just what I wished for came true!
In her past life, she also came at this time, carrying her own luggage, ostensibly to keep this older sister company because she was afraid she would be lonely. In reality... she wanted to get close to Qi Jincheng, take the opportunity to sow discord, and create conflict between her and Qi Jincheng!
Qiao Xi replied calmly, "I understand. Let her wait downstairs."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the figure that Qiao Xi hated walked in on its own, treating her like she was in her own room, not a guest at all!
Qiao Yuan was taken aback when she saw Qiao Xi sitting on the edge of the bed in her home clothes, looking relaxed.
That look is like someone who has just woken up!
In Qiao Yuan's opinion, that shouldn't be how she should look. She should be haggard, heartbroken and suicidal because she couldn't elope with Lu Mingxuan!
"Sister..." Qiao Yuan called out to her tentatively.
Her enemy from her past life was standing right in front of her, and Qiao Xi wished she could kill this bitch right now!
Killing her now would be too easy on her!
Qiao Xi's eyes suddenly turned sharp as she looked at her, and she said two words in a cold voice, "Get out."
Qiao Yuan looked at Qiao Xi with a shocked expression, who was different from usual. "Sister..."
