“Did something happen to Ji Ziming?”
Immediately after Fu Mingxuan spoke, Mu Heng instinctively wanted to ask how he knew something had happened to Ji Ziming.
“You…”
However, he stopped himself from doing so.
He could not mess up this time.
If he asked that, it would be as good as admitting that the man had gone to the wrong bed and slept with the wrong woman!
Plus, who was this person? He was Ji Ziming’s hidden love rival! The woman he loved was Pei Ge!
Who knew what would happen if Fu Mingxuan learned of this!
“What are you thinking? Why would Ji Ziming, who loves Ge Ge so much, do something like that…” He, thus, denied it.
Alas, the other was not easily deceived.
“Then, why did you ask me if I went to the wrong bed and slept with the wrong person, too?”
“Ha ha ha ha! Of course, it’s that dumb bird! You don’t know how dumb he is. He was so drunk that he slept with a random woman!”
Out of desperation, he used Liao Gaofei’s name.
What he did not know was that bringing up that guy only made Fu Mingxuan more certain that he was lying!
The person who had gone to the wrong bed and slept with the wrong person was likely Ji Ziming.
“Alright.”
Fu Mingxuan hung up the phone thereafter and, with a terrible expression, dialed another number.
The call was picked up soon after.
“Qiao Jingyun, you succeeded, apparently. Was it…” he muttered, his voice especially cold and pained.
“He he! What do you think?”
Her tickling laughter came through the phone.
“You’re good! I’ve never seen a woman more shameless than you are!”
He lashed out when he heard her laughter. For the first time, he had lost his gentlemanly manner.
“You can only get what you want by being shameless…” calmly replied the woman to him. The way she said this made it seem as if he were praising her.
“Why?! Why?! Why, Qiao Jingyun?! Why did you do that! Why—” His agitated words were cut off by her laughter.
“You wanna ask why I put you with Pei Ge and drugged you both to do that sort of thing?”
A matter of importance was uttered by her mouth nonchalantly.
“…Why…”
When his unspoken words were uttered by the woman, he felt as if half of his heart had been emptied, and he fell into a slight daze.
Whenever he thought of how he found himself naked in an unfamiliar bed when he opened his eyes this morning and that there was another… woman—the one he had loved for so many years—by his side, he felt…
“You should thank me, no? If not for me, how would a coward like you get the woman you love? I created the opportunity for you.”
The voice on the other end drew his thoughts back to the present.
“See, I slept with Ji Ziming, and you slept with Pei Ge. Both slept with someone else. How could they still be together? Ha ha!”
“You shut up! You shut up! You shut up!” he shouted, his expression twisted. If this woman were before him right now, he might be unable to stop himself from hitting her.
“You lowly, cheap woman! You vicious woman, how can there be someone like you?! What you are doing?! It’s not helping me or you! You’re ruining all of us! You’re ruining everyone’s happiness; do you know!” He yelled at her through the receiver, near the point of breakdown.
He could not imagine how much pain Ji Ziming would be in and how heartbroken and miserable Pei Ge would be if this matter got out.
Everyone will be in misfortune…
“How am I ruining everyone’s happiness? I’m only ruining Pei Ge’s…” rebutted the woman. “Only Pei Ge’s happiness is getting ruined here, not mine, because I’ll be marrying Ji Ziming soon. I’ll become the Ji family’s young mistress that everyone will be envious of!”
“…Please, Qiao Jingyun. Please don’t hurt those two. They truly love each other…”
Suddenly, the man who had been shouting at her backed down.
Perhaps the shift in his tone shocked the woman, so she did not say anything right away. There was only the sound of her breathing on the phone.
Only after a long pause did she speak again.
“Who do you think you are?! What do you mean by truly love each other?! Are my feelings not true?! Is my love not love?! I—”
He cut her off before she could finish.
“I’ll marry you. Qiao Jingyun, I’ll marry you.”
The sudden proposal stunned her who had gotten a little agitated.
“If all you want is the status of a rich, young mistress, I’ll give it to you! I’ll marry you and give you the title. Even though the Ji family is what you have your eye on, the Fu family isn’t that far off, so you can be my wife. I’ll guarantee that your title as the Fu family’s young mistress won’t be that much worse than that of the Ji family’s young mistress.”
His proposal clearly confounded the woman as her breathing grew irregular over the phone.
“As long as you leave those two alone, I guarantee that I’ll make you the Fu family’s young mistress that everyone will be envious of.”
“The Fu family’s young mistress…” she muttered softly.
“That’s right. As long as you don’t hurt Pei—”
She cut him with a sharp cry before he could finish.
“Pei Ge! Pei Ge! Is she that great?! Why are you all siding with her?! What’s so great about her?! Why does she have so much love?! Why?! Why?!”
