Chapter 576

~4 min read 664 words

Everything you said before about getting a marriage certificate with Qiao Muting, it's all true, isn't it?

When Shu Xia said it, she didn't believe it one bit.

But now, she's been slapped in the face!

Shu Xia hadn't expected Jiang Nannan to find out at this moment, "Everything I told you before is true, my husband really is him."

Jiang Nannan's mouth twitched, she told herself to stay calm, and then said pointedly, "No wonder Huo Tianye was scared out of his wits just now, so it was because he knew your relationship with Qiao Muting. You should go over there quickly. I'm fine here, you can make it up to me in a couple of days, but you need to explain things well over there."

"If I had known your husband was him, I wouldn't have brought up that nonsense about your husband being a police detective or whatever."

Then she patted Shu Xia on the shoulder, "Good luck, I'm taking a taxi."

Lu Ze had left at some point.

Jiang Nannan had also slipped away.

Shu Xia met Qiao Muting's bottomless black eyes, took a deep breath, and walked over.

When Shu Xia sat in the car, the first thing Qiao Muting threw at her was, "Your husband is a police detective? Where did you dig up that man?"

He vaguely remembered that Jiang Nannan had introduced a boyfriend to Shu Xia, and it seemed he was a police detective?

When she encountered danger, the first person she thought of was that police detective?

Did she never think to use him instead?

Didn't she know that the name Qiao Muting was more useful?

"That... I didn't think that much at the time, it was just something we said off the cuff, I didn't expect Huo Tianye to believe it," Shu Xia explained helplessly.

She really hadn't expected Qiao Muting to find out.

Qiao Muting clearly didn't quite believe her, "Did you take a liking to that police detective?"

That man did look like he appealed to women.

He didn't know why, but he just felt uncomfortable inside.

Shu Xia was startled, looked at Qiao Muting's cold, dark eyes, and asked directly, "Are you jealous?"

Qiao Muting frowned, "You're overthinking it."

How could he possibly be jealous?

——

Jiang Nannan stood by the side of the road watching Qiao Muting's car leave before she prepared to hail a taxi.

There were many taxis on the road at this time.

As she hailed a taxi, she couldn't understand what was going on with Shu Xia and Qiao Muting.

How did the two of them get together?

Why were there no signs of it?

Shu Xia really pulled off something big!

She could actually land a man like Qiao Muting? Her bestie is impressive.

Just as she was complaining to herself, a car stopped in front of her.

Seeing that the car stopped in front of her wasn't a taxi, but a car she recognized, her expression changed and she stopped abruptly.

A person got out of the car.

A tall figure came before her, his tone somewhat urgent and worried, "Are you alright? Did Huo Tianye hurt you?"

If it were before, seeing Huo Jingyan, she definitely would have rushed over to pour out her grievances.

She would have demanded that Huo Jingyan help her seek justice.

She had really been scared just now.

But.

She stood where she was, not moving a step closer.

"I'm fine," she said coldly.

Huo Jingyan's eyes darkened, "Get in the car first."

Seeing Jiang Nannan's distance and wariness toward him, Huo Jingyan felt as if his heart had been pierced, first a pain in his chest, then spreading throughout his whole body.

"No need, I'll take a taxi," Jiang Nannan walked to the side.

She couldn't understand how Huo Jingyan could clearly have cheated, yet still act as if everything was peaceful, as if nothing had ever happened.

She couldn't act as if everything was peaceful.
