Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Wen Nuan snapped back to reality, clenched her fists, and said, ”You bastard.”

Qin Shaojin looked up at Wen Nuan’s lips, puffed up in anger, and said with amusement, ”There are worse bastards out there, do you want to give it a try?”

”You!”

Wen Nuan was choked with fury, raised her arm, and trembled slightly—it was her first time trying to hit someone.

Before her slap could land, Qin Shaojin gripped her arm and pulled her close, ”You chose me yourself, knowing my leg was inconvenient. Weren’t you just trying to take advantage of me?”

Take advantage of him?

What a joke!

Wen Nuan was so angry her teeth itched, ”Shameless!”

Moreover, she thought as she saw Qin Shaojin standing there, seemingly fine, how much she wanted to kick him.

Qin Shaojin paused, followed Wen Nuan’s gaze, and frowned at the chair next to him, ”My leg hurts a bit right now. If something happens to it, you’ll be responsible.”

Wen Nuan retorted, ”Why should I be?”

She waited angrily for Qin Shaojin to respond.

Was Qin Shaojin trying to stage an accident?

She thought about him being a lawyer and knew she couldn’t out-argue him, feeling immediately disheartened. Then she thought of Ji Yan, who had urged her to do this, and her teeth itched with hatred even more.

That liar, that damn liar! It was nothing like he had said. She couldn’t possibly tell Qin Shaojin that she had been naive enough to believe Ji Yan’s words and sought a minor advantage only to suffer a major loss, right?

After a standoff, Qin Shaojin released her.

Wen Nuan, her face red, ran off quickly, cursing Ji Yan and Qin Shaojin in her heart.

—————Yunqi Academy—————

That night, Wen Ru and Qin Moting were sleeping in the same bed, yet there was a vast distance between them.

Both had been awake all night, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, but unsure of what to say. The room was eerily quiet, filled only with the sound of their breathing.

It wasn’t until after midnight that Wen Ru turned to look at Qin Moting and asked quietly, ”Do you regret marrying me?”

Qin Moting looked at Wen Ru and asked softly, ”Why should I regret it?”

”..........”

Why?

She didn’t know!

She just felt that he might regret it.

Wen Ru stared at Qin Moting for a long time, thinking of the incident in the bathroom earlier that day. Xu Yuan must have told him by now, right? He probably knew the purpose of her marrying him as well, right?

Did he really not mind at all?

Seeing the expression on Wen Ru’s face, and thinking of Huo Jinyun, who might still be in the bathroom, Qin Moting asked with an indifferent tone, ”Do you hate Huo Jinyun that much?”

Upon Huo Jinyun being mentioned, Wen Ru’s face turned cold, and she responded expressionlessly, ”What, can’t bear to part with her?”

Qin Moting didn’t say anything, just stared at Wen Ru’s face.

Wen Ru felt uncomfortable under his gaze and turned away.

In an instant, the room went quiet again, uncomfortably so.

Qin Moting watched her for a long while before asking softly, ”Do you mind?”

Wen Ru’s breathing faltered but she avoided the question, changing the subject, ”What about you? Don’t tell me you don’t hate her! I’m not that generous.”

Qin Moting looked at Wen Ru, trying to recall something, but his mind was blank. He pressed his temples hard as a sudden headache set in.

He turned over, took some medicine from the drawer next to him, and swallowed it with water from the thermos on the bedside table.

Wen Ru suddenly realized that his leg was moving freely with no signs of injury, ”You...”

”Your leg—”

Wen Ru’s gaze fell on Qin Moting’s leg.

Qin Moting glanced at Wen Ru, with no intention of hiding the truth, ”In the previous car accident, neither San Er nor I was injured.”

Uninjured, then why pretend to be injured and hospitalized?

Considering that he had been staying right next door to her, Wen Ru’s eyes moved from Qin Moting’s leg to his face.
