Chapter 454

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow, "Speak plainly."

"I flew to K City the day before yesterday and just flew back today." Jiang Tu mentioned K City, his expression even more resentful.

Like a bitter woman.

If not for the stubble all over Jiang Tu's face, Qiao Muting would have thought Jiang Tu had gone to K City for a failed sex-change operation.

Qiao Muting glanced at the sofa, feeling a bit of aversion, so he didn't sit down and stood watching Jiang Tu.

"I went to see Song Ziqi. She didn't tell me about something as big as having surgery. Qiao Muting, do you like her or not? Give me an answer!" Jiang Tu picked up a wine bottle and took a swig, looking particularly decadent.

He didn't know what was wrong with him either; he had so many beauties he could like, yet he only kept Song Ziqi in his heart.

It was a pity that the girl's heart and eyes were all on Qiao Muting.

He thought that if he spent his days fooling around with beauties, surely one of them would occupy some space in his heart?

Unfortunately, it was all just physical, not emotional.

Those women were all useless.

Upon hearing that Song Ziqi had surgery, he rushed to K City without a second thought and took the opportunity to ask if she would try being with him, but Song Ziqi had decisively refused without a second thought.

Although she didn't say why, he could guess the reason.

What else could it be?

As long as Qiao Muting appeared, there was no one else in Song Ziqi's eyes; her gaze was always on Qiao Muting, and her joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness all followed Qiao Muting.

They had all grown up together; what was there that they couldn't see clearly?

He saw it clearly and plainly.

"I am married, and I don't intend to divorce," Qiao Muting said expressionlessly.

Jiang Tu didn't hear clearly at first, thinking he must be drunk to have misheard.

He knew Qiao Muting had been very concerned about that Shu Xia recently, but married?

"You just said you're married? To whom?" Jiang Tu asked.

When did you get married?

Did he have a blackout and memory problems?

"Shu Xia."

"Shu Xia?"

Jiang Tu sobered up instantly.

No wonder when he saw Song Ziqi this time, he felt she was a bit strange and her mood didn't seem very high. "So, does Song Ziqi know you're married? Also, you and Shu Xia are married? When did this happen? You're keeping the marriage secret!"

He had sensed before that Qiao Muting was not ordinary toward Shu Xia.

But he hadn't thought much about it.

For the sake of a Shu Xia, he could even vent his anger on Shen Anran, whom he had known for many years; one could imagine how much Qiao Muting cared about Shu Xia.

When Gu Jianzhang mentioned to him before that Qiao Muting cared about Shu Xia, he just felt it was rare for Qiao Muting to be interested in a girl.

In fact, Jiang Tu understood very well in his heart that while Qiao Muting took care of Song Ziqi, he had no other intentions.

But Qiao Muting was a cold-hearted person by nature and indifferent toward romantic relationships; if Song Ziqi wanted to marry him, Qiao Muting might really marry her.

Or perhaps if the Qiao Family arranged a marriage partner for Qiao Muting, Qiao Muting likely wouldn't refuse either.

"Mm, secret marriage," Qiao Muting said in a cold tone.

He kicked the wine bottle by his feet to the side, "You like Song Ziqi that much?"

Jiang Tu was mostly sobered up; he came to Qiao Muting's side and said helplessly, "Didn't you know that long ago? But that girl's heart is full of you. For these past few years, I've been fooling around with whoever I could, thinking I didn't care about that girl anymore."

"But when I heard about her surgery, I panicked and rushed over immediately."

Qiao Muting said, "Your family won't agree."

Jiang Tu's expression changed, "I can make my own decisions."

"You and her affairs are for you to figure out," Qiao Muting said coldly.

Jiang Tu stared at Qiao Muting, scrutinizing him, "You really don't like Song Ziqi?"

Qiao Muting gave a hum.

"You like Shu Xia? Could it be that you and Shu Xia got married because she's pregnant? She has quite the means," Jiang Tu continued his unreliable speculation.
