Chapter 922 -922: Is It Wrong That I Can’t Help It?
Qiao Qiao drove away Ye Shiqing, quickly dressed properly, and wandered restlessly with a heavy heart, unintentionally ending up at the ridge between fields.
It was not that she wanted to remain faithful to Ye Xiandong for his sake, or for the sake of their marriage. Rather, she felt that she had always been innocent in her dealings with Ye Xiandong, having never done anything to wrong him.
Yet last night’s events had completely overturned her worldview and values.
Last night, she had been intimate with Ye Shiqing, and regardless of her reasons, the inarguable fact was that she had cheated; she and Ye Xiandong were now the same.
Qiao Qiao stared blankly at the endless wheat fields, belatedly remembering how Su Hongxing had earnestly warned her to be cautious of Wen Beibei.
Even so, she had fallen into Wen Beibei’s trap.
She wondered whether she should tell Ye Shiqing about her suspicion that Wen Beibei had drugged her.
Even if she did tell him, what could it change?
The only person she could confide in about this was Su Hongxing.
She wanted to call Su Hongxing but couldn’t reach her due to poor signal. The call disconnected just after getting through.
Qiao Qiao was anxious because she couldn’t reach Su Hongxing, and Su Hongxing was anxious because she couldn’t reach Qiao Qiao; they waited for a full two days.
When Qiao Qiao’s phone finally worked, her first realization was that Qiao Qiao’s voice lacked its usual vibrancy.
“Su, I’m in a mess,” Qiao Qiao said, which sank Su’s heart to the pit of her stomach.
“Did something bad happen?” Su Hongxing’s heart leapt into her throat.
Qiao Qiao glanced at Ye Shiqing sitting beside her and whispered miserably, “I’m on my way back to Taicheng. I’ll find you when I get there. Are you at Ye Family or Lugang?”
“Ye Family. Xiaoqiao, wait till you’re back to tell me everything in detail.”
Qiao Qiao acknowledged and hung up the phone. She sat up straight, reflecting on the tumultuous past two days, wishing she could turn back time and never go down to the countryside with Ye Shiqing.
“Am I going to eat you?” Ye Shiqing saw that Qiao Qiao sat so far away from him and asked with a stern face.
These past two days, Qiao Qiao had pushed him away, keeping him at arm’s length. Even if she wasn’t close to him normally, now she bristled every time he came near.
Qiao Qiao hummed softly, “I used to think Older Brother was a gentleman, but now I see clearly, Older Brother is not a good person either, otherwise he wouldn’t have…”
She thought carefully about that night. Given Ye Shiqing’s self-control, he could have completely stopped the untoward event from happening, but he didn’t. Instead, he had taken full advantage of her.
He knew well that such a thing was not right, he knew what their statuses were. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Every time she thought about it, she felt wronged and realized she had misjudged Ye Shiqing.
“A man’s self-control is inherently poor. Xiaoqiao, don’t worry, I will take responsibility for you…”
“Responsibility? What responsibility? Ye Shiqing, I am Ye Xiandong’s wife, you are Ye Xiandong’s older brother, our being together is already against the law and principles. And now, being the magistrate of Taicheng, you still knowingly commit this act, you, you, you—”
Qiao Qiao was so upset that she stumbled over her words, her face flushed and ears red.
“What about me? Facing the woman I like throwing herself at me, is it wrong that I couldn’t resist? Your marriage with Ye Xiandong is in name only, the whole world knows you two are getting a divorce! Once you are divorced, you’ll be free…”
Ye Shiqing hadn’t finished speaking when Qiao Qiao interrupted him with a punch.
She ranted incessantly at him, and despite her attempts to scold him, she lacked the knack for it, silly girl!
