Chapter 609

Shu Xia left Shu Xuan's dormitory.

Seeing the luxury car parked on the side of the road, she let out a deep breath.

She had just cried, but fortunately, it was dark now, and she would be sitting in the car later, so it shouldn't be that obvious.

As it turned out, she hadn't expected that a certain man's eyes were too sharp.

The moment she sat into the car, she heard the man ask, "Cried?"

"No." Shu Xia denied it, her voice sounding a bit muffled.

Qiao Muting frowned, lowered his eyes, and stared at Shu Xia's eyes for a moment, "Shu Xuan doesn't believe you?"

Otherwise, with her strong personality, how could she cry so easily?

"Whether he believes me or not isn't important; what's important is that I dragged an innocent him into this." Shu Xia did not look at Qiao Muting, but instead looked out the car window.

There were many cars on the road.

There were also many people.

But her heart felt very heavy right now, and for the first time, she felt some doubt about her decision to marry Qiao Muting.

She did not fear the wind and rain and would face them together with Qiao Muting.

But that did not mean her family was not afraid.

She hoped that the first love Shu Xuan experienced would be worth remembering for a lifetime, something that would be sweet to think back on, rather than like this, full of schemes.

"As for the Shen Family, I will not let them off." Qiao Muting said in a deep voice.

From his angle, he could see a trace of confusion in Shu Xia's eyes, and even...

He keenly sensed that she seemed to want to distance herself from him.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked.

Shu Xia's heart felt heavy; she withdrew her gaze from outside the car window and met Qiao Muting's probing eyes. Perhaps because she was a bit weak today, she did not want to escape.

"Qiao Muting, let's continue our secret marriage for three years. If we divorce after three years, no one will know. Let's... just stick to the contract."

She wanted to part on good terms.

Moreover, she was afraid that if time went on, she would truly fall in love with Qiao Muting, and if one day Qiao Muting liked someone else and then divorced her, she would be reluctant to let go.

Qiao Muting's eyes were dark and gloomy, suddenly bursting with a cold light, his gaze fixed on Shu Xia even more sharply than before.

"Have you thought it through?"

Because of Shu Xuan's matter, she was afraid?

She wanted to stay away from him?

Shu Xia gave a soft hum, "I'm sorry, I broke the contract."

She suddenly lost her courage.

When Shu Xuan stood on the balcony, she was afraid for a moment; if Shu Xuan had jumped from up there, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

And...

Most importantly, when she saw the WeChat message sent by Qiao Muting in Shu Xuan's dormitory, the quickening of her heartbeat and the flutter at that moment reminded her.

If time went on, she was truly afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.

Qiao Muting tightened his lips, the veins on his forehead slightly bulging, as if he were trying his best to suppress something.

Suddenly, he spat out two cold words from his thin lips, "Stop the car!"

The driver immediately stepped on the brakes.

The driver hadn't dared to breathe loudly just a moment ago.

Now, he dared even less.

The car stopped on the side of the road.

Qiao Muting looked at Shu Xia with an incomparably cold gaze, "Very good, Shu Xia, you really are something!"

Then, he opened the car door and got out.

He then coldly instructed the driver: "Take Miss Shu back to Xinghai Villa!"
