Chapter 722

A face that would indeed make a man feel moved.

No wonder his son cared about her and was unwilling to divorce.

Shu Xia's brows were cold and clear, and she said indifferently, "I am."

Qiao Muting's large hand grasped Shu Xia's hand, wrapping her hand entirely within his palm, "She is my wife."

The single sentence "She is my wife" made Shu Xia's hand move slightly.

His tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if the fact that she was his wife made him very proud.

It was also the firmness and strength that allowed him to give his true heart.

Steward Qin, standing to the side, saw this scene and felt his heart warm intensely, thinking secretly that Qiao Nainai could actually set her mind at ease; the young master really cared about the young mistress.

Clearly, this was to protect the young mistress in front of the old master.

When had he ever seen the young master be this considerate before?

Qiao Guanqing's face turned livid; rebellious son!

"You two have only registered your marriage; right now, many people in Jing City still do not know about your relationship," Qiao Guanqing said coldly.

Hua Qian, who had not yet left, saw this scene and frowned imperceptibly.

Qiao Muting cared about Shu Xia even more than she had imagined.

When looking at Shu Xia, there was perhaps a softness in Qiao Muting's eyes that he himself did not even notice.

"I am currently preparing for the wedding and will notify you to attend when the time comes. Now is not the time to discuss these things; if Qiao Nainai has any issues, you will be held responsible," Qiao Muting said coldly.

Qiao Guanqing was furious, "Do you know what you are saying?"

The elderly are old, and their ability to endure cannot compare to when they were young; it is normal to suddenly feel unwell while on the phone.

This rebellious son actually pushed the blame onto him!

And what else did he say?

"There are many things going on in the Qiao Family recently; it would be best to postpone your wedding," Qiao Guanqing followed up with another sentence.

This time, Shu Xia truly felt the malice coming from Qiao Guanqing; regardless of whether Qiao Muting's words just now were true, even if they were, the wedding would absolutely not be held successfully.

Except for Qiao Nainai, no one else in the Qiao Family would let her stay by Qiao Muting's side.

She happened to have a bit of a rebellious streak; the more the situation was like this, the more she felt she should walk the path well with Qiao Muting.

These family members who did not know how to care for Qiao Muting would also have to watch with their own eyes as the two of them spent the rest of their lives together in mutual respect.

Qiao Muting curled his thin lips coldly, "The Qiao Family has many things going on recently, what does that have to do with me?"

There was no one who could stop what Qiao Muting wanted to do.

"The wedding must be held; I cannot let my wife be wronged in the slightest."

For the latter sentence, he emphasized the tone of almost every word.

It was completely possible for people to feel the head-on confrontation between the father and son.

Shu Xia lowered her eyelids, looking very well-behaved, and did not speak, but a ripple began to rise in a certain place in her heart; were the words "my wife" that he kept repeating just to anger Qiao Guanqing?

The thought had just arisen, only to be suppressed again.

Regardless of whether it was or not, it could not be dwelled upon.

Qiao Guanqing's face grew even darker, "Your grandmother is unwell today, and since this is a hospital, it is not suitable to discuss matters; we must have a proper talk later."

Qiao Muting gave a cold scoff and suddenly raised his eyes to sweep toward Hua Qian, "Still haven't gotten lost?"

Hua Qian's face stiffened abruptly.

Having been the mistress of the Qiao Family for so many years, no matter where she went, she was respected and treated with caution; her high and lofty position had made her forget what it felt like to be treated coldly.

Now, being looked at so coldly by Qiao Muting, and even being told to get lost, her heart was in turmoil for a moment.
