The dire consequences of deliberate teasing were being tossed and turned all night long, causing Chu Jiao to sleep until the next afternoon before waking up.

Upon rousing from her deep slumber, she was just about to climb out of bed when the softness of her waist made her legs go weak, and the view of the carpet floor grew closer.

Fortunately, the man, who happened to walk into the room at that moment, reached out a hand and hooked her up into his arms, saving her from the tragic fate of falling face first to the ground as soon as she woke up.

“Throwing yourself into my arms again, are you? It seems that I didn’t feed you full last night…” Xiao Qi said jokingly, causing Chu Jiao to hammer her fist onto him frustratedly. This man’s shamelessness was already unbeatable.

“I made you some porridge.” Xiao Qi was wearing a plain white collared shirt, with his cuffs rolled up to his elbows, appearing like a good family man.

“Century egg and lean meat porridge?” Chu Jiao licked her lips in anticipation, and muttered to herself that at least he had a conscience, so it was not that bad.

Xiao Qi let out a low chuckle, “I only have limited ingredients… so I could only make diced carrots and lean meat porridge.”

Chu Jiao’s feelings of being appeased instantly disappeared—— She didn’t want to hear the word ‘carrot’ in the next few months anymore!

She drove the man to the kitchen to serve her food, while she opened Xiao Qi’s closet in search of clothes. She couldn’t even glance at the clothes she wore yesterday, so she could only find some of his to wear first.

His closet contained the same colored shirts as the one he was wearing, so Chu Jiao could only randomly pull one out and wear it. The man’s figure was tall, which meant that the shirt looked baggy on her, covering her until her thighs as though it was an oversized dress.

“Ding dong–“

The doorbell happened to ring at this moment.

Chu Jiao’s clothes were in a disheveled state. She wanted to have Xiao Qi answer the door, but an idea suddenly popped into her mind, intuitively feeling that the person on the other side of the door must be some uninvited guest.

Most, if not all people didn’t know about Xiao Qi’s ownership of this apartment. The only person who knew and had been here before was his assistant, the female lead Wen Jiaojiao.

Walking to the door barefoot, Chu Jiao looked through the peephole, and sure enough, the exquisitely made-up female lead had her slender brows knit up on the other side, appearing slightly anxious. To Chu Jiao’s surprise, she was actually wearing a regular T-shirt and jeans, completely devoid of her usual attire consisting of famous and luxury brands.

Oh, yes, she had almost forgotten that at this moment, the Wen Family must’ve wanted to clutch onto Xiao Qi’s thigh and had already driven Wen Jiaojiao out of their family doors.

Question: What would you do if you see your enemy having a hard time?

Chu Jiao was happy to answer this question: Of course, add insult to the injury and make her even more unhappy.

Upon recalling that inside Wen Jiaojiao’s body was the researcher Li Meng, who harbored boundless malice towards her, almost harmed her man, and caused every world to become torturous rather than spending them happily and leisurely with him, Chu Jiao’s long pent-up anger finally resurfaced.

Had it not been for Chu Jiao’s vigilance, she would have dissipated from this world by now.

Towards such a troublesome enemy, Chu Jiao wouldn’t act like the Virgin Mary at all. She had no shred of mercy in her heart for her.

“Ka-chak.” The door suddenly opened, leading Wen Jiaojiao to look up happily, feeling delight surge in her heart from thinking that the director treated her differently after all.

However, when she saw Chu Jiao lazily leaning against the door, bathed in the afterglow of sex, smugly sizing her up, Wen Jiaojiao’s smile was replaced by utter shock and disbelief.

“You!? Why is it you!?”

Even if she wanted to ignore her, the obvious red marks on Chu Jiao’s neck, arms, and legs that were inadvertently covered up, told Wen Jiaojiao only one fact, and that was that the woman in front of her had actually climbed up to the director’s bed!

No, that’s impossible.

Director Xiao was a clean-living and honest person. She often threw herself into his arms ‘accidentally’ from time and time again during work before, but the man had never even spared her a thought. How could he even notice this ugly little Chu Jiao who could never match up to her in terms of looks nor background!?

That’s not right, in terms of background…

Wen Jiaojiao stared at Chu Jiao with a complicated and jealous face, assuming that she had already guessed the truth.

“What’s the matter? Who is it?”

The man, who had finished pouring the porridge into a bowl, headed towards the door, his face instantly turning unsightly upon seeing Wen Jiaojiao.

Why hasn’t this woman’s soul scattered yet? She’s already chased them through seven different worlds, and she’s still acting so stubbornly.

Xiao Qi made a secret resolve in his heart. The very first thing he would do once he returned to the real world was to send this woman to federal prison so that her face would never taint their eyes ever again.

“Why didn’t you wear any shoes? Be careful of catching a cold.” He didn’t cast another glance at Wen Jiaojiao, placing both hands behind Chu Jiao and gently lifting her up right on top of his feet so that hers stepped on top of his, rather than touching the cold ceramic floors.

“How can I be so delicate,” Chu Jiao said in a fluttering manner, but she didn’t refuse the man’s kindness and merely leaned into Xiao Qi’s arms.

This scene almost made Wen Jiaojiao’s chest explode from mixed emotions. She began panting heavily and looked at Xiao Qi with tears filling her eyes, “Brother Xiao, I know you’re being coerced! Mom and Dad don’t want me anymore, but you’re not going to only consider family backgrounds, right? We’ve been together since young. I know you like me, and I like you too, so let’s just run away together!”

‘???’ Chu Jiao truly wanted to ask Miss Wen this, ‘Is your head alright?’ Xiao Qi was already expressively showing a disgusted face, so how could she be so dense and reassure herself, fantasizing that the two of them were still going to have a long and happy relationship after all this?

Xiao Qi clearly hadn’t figured out how Wen Jiaojiao’s chaotic brain worked, “Miss Wen, firstly, even though the Wen and Xiao families have been long time friends, we are not too familiar with each other at all. If my memory serves me correctly, I’ve only gone over to eat at your residence a few times when I was young. Secondly, besides that, my father merely agreed to put you in the company as my assistant, but I did not overstep any rules from behind the scenes and even fired you due to your poor work ethics; thirdly, whether I look at family background or not has nothing to do with you, the person I like has never been you but this beautiful lady next to me, please get your facts straight.”

Chu Jiao tried to stifle her laughter, quietly listening to Xiao Qi’s deadpan statement. She had to say, she really enjoyed the man’s straightforward words.

“Impossible! Impossible!”

Wen Jiaojiao shook her head in dismay as tears dripped down her face, “You must think that I’m not worthy of you, don’t you?”

“This-this woman!” She furiously pointed her finger at Chu Jiao, her red eyes looking a little crazy, “She’s not worthy of you! Only I am worthy of you!”

Xiao Qi’s face turned grim at this moment. He avidly remembered that after starting the experimental procedure, Li Meng, who had finally revealed her true colors, also said this to him neurotically when he was unable to move.

“Crazy b*tch.”

He swung the door closed, trapping Wen Jiaojiao outside, and called the security guard’s phone, firmly instructing them to clear out the irrelevant person outside his door.

“That’s enough, ignore her,” Xiao Qi kissed Chu Jiao and comforted, “Go eat some porridge, I’ll take care of this.”

“Okay!” Chu Jiao smiled sweetly. Even if the carrot porridge tasted so terrible that she wanted to vomit it out, she did her best to finish consuming it.

And, that was all because she loved the man to death for sheltering her from the wind and rain, taking care of everything.

*

However, what Xiao Qi didn’t expect was that before he could even deal a hand, Wen Jiaojiao got into an unfortunate accident.

Ever since the two people had clarified everything to the rest, the passing days in this world were equivalent to taking a leisurely vacation. Everyone in the company knew of Chu Jiao’s status as the boss’s wife, and there was no other reason since they hadn’t seen Director Xiao treat any other woman as intimately and clingy as he did towards her.

Father and Mother Xiao had already been dealt with accordingly by Xiao Qi. And now, Xiao Qi was pouring all his attention into preparing for his and Chu Jiao’s wedding. Of course, the Wen family was delighted to see this happen, itching to quickly make Xiao Qi their son-in-law.

Chu Jiao didn’t want to see her biological parents, so Xiao Qi didn’t bother her with this matter anymore. He only told Father and Mother Wen to let them handle Wen Jiaojiao’s affairs before the wedding began.

However, it was because of this that something went wrong.

“What? The Wen residence is on fire!?”

Chu Jiao’s jaw dropped open, instinctively putting down the chopsticks in her hand and letting the food held by the chopsticks back on the plate.

“Yeah, Wen Jiaojiao, that lunatic, heard that you were going back to live there tomorrow and brought gasoline to try and harm you.”

Today was originally Chu Jiao and Xiao Qi’s wedding day. According to common practices, the woman would return to her original home the night before and wait for the man to pick her up the next day. However, Chu Jiao really didn’t want to see her money-loving parents and had simply been living in Xiao Qi’s place.

“Fortunately, you didn’t go back.” Xiao Qi had said with some lingering fear. Even though this was only a virtual world, he was still reluctant to see his baby hurt in the slightest.

“What happened then? What happened then?” Chu Jiao asked.

“The Wen family’s nanny saw her and immediately alerted Father and Mother Wen, then they started arguing,” Xiao Qi said, “In the end, I’m not entirely sure what happened, but Wen Jiaojiao lost a screw and lit everything on fire, so now, Father and Mother Wen are admitted in the intensive care unit.”

“She’s really gone mad.”

“That’s right, she’s now being sent to a mental hospital for appraisal,” Xiao Qi said, “If she’s not spending the next half of her life locked in prison, she’ll be spending it trapped in a mental hospital.”

Chu Jiao pursed her lips, “Do you feel bad for her?”

“Why would I? I only care about you.”

He then picked up a piece of a dish with his chopsticks and lovingly dropped it in Chu Jiao’s bowl, saying with a gentle look, “Here, try out these new dishes. After eating, we can wear our suits and gowns and start preparing for the wedding…”

Chu Jiao’s eyes instantly revealed a look of despair as she swallowed the dishes as if she was going to die.

Chu Jiao: After eating this dish, I may not be able to attend the wedding anymore.1Referring to how she might not be able to fit in her gown anymore because male lead keeps feeding her lolol.
