Chapter 471: Chapter 460: Contradiction Ignition Chapter 471: Chapter 460: Contradiction Ignition He left and ran to Qiao Jing’s side, hiding directly behind her, and began to accuse Zhan Qipei.
“Sister Jing, Zhan Qipei hit me so hard, look how red my hand is.”
Xu Moqian, while speaking, lifted his hand in front of Qiao Jing for her to see the red marks on his wrist, which were so red they almost seemed to bleed, indicating just how hard Zhan Qipei had struck.
Qiao Jing’s face instantly sank when she saw Xu Moqian’s injury, and her cool voice emerged.
“Zhan Qipei, you went too far.”
She wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her friends, and Zhan Qipei had clearly intended to cause real harm just now.
If Xu Moqian hadn’t managed to break free, his hand would likely be broken by now.
Zhan Qipei felt a stab of irritation seeing the two of them together, his frown growing deeper, and his face as cold as a gust of wind as he stared at them.
“It was him who said he wanted to take you home. Although you haven’t cleared up the affair thing with me, I haven’t cheated.”
He couldn’t possibly cheat, his heart already wholly entrusted to Qiao Jing.
What exactly had led Qiao Jing to misinterpret his actions for so long?
Moreover, a misunderstanding about cheating is serious—it could even lead to divorce.
He had only just obtained this hard-earned chance and certainly didn’t want to divorce over a nonexistent issue.
Qiao Jing’s heart chilled further with Zhan Qipei’s words, her expressionless face now bearing a trace of estrangement.
“Zhan Qipei, you could have simply told me you met someone more suitable. There was no need to hide it from me; I wouldn’t cling to you desperately.”
She hadn’t expected Zhan Qipei to deny it up until now, even though she had seen everything with her own eyes and heard it with her ears.
Xu Moqian immediately echoed on the side:
“My Sister Jing could never be the type to cling desperately, and what’s more, Sister Jing hates deception the most. You’ve completely lost your chance now!”
Qiao Jing, seeing Xu Moqian now with an attitude of enjoying the drama without fearing it might escalate, rubbed her forehead with a headache and pushed him behind her.
“Kid, either stay quietly behind me or go back to the car now.”
The reason she hadn’t told Kid to go straight back to the car was that it would require passing by Zhan Qipei, who now wore a grim expression. She wasn’t sure if Zhan Qipei would stop Kid, but given this scoundrel’s character, he likely would.
The sight deeply pained Zhan Qipei, but what tortured him like a slow cut was the distant look on Qiao Jing’s face.
He only ever saw such an expression when he first met Qiao Jing; he had almost forgotten that a woman could look at him that way, and it threw him into turmoil.
Even when he had run a red light, his heart had never been this unsettled, despite the near misses with neighboring cars. His mind had been remarkably calm, focused on one thing only.
He wanted to see Qiao Jing immediately.
Only he knew that he drove at 200 miles per hour just to see her, risking everything just for that one glimpse.
He had just parked his car and had not yet reached the KTV when he spotted Qiao Jing’s silhouette, but he couldn’t feel happy.
Because Qiao Jing was helping Xu Moqian walk.
When Qiao Jing saw the hurt expression on Zhan Nanqing’s face, she furrowed her brows, but soon they relaxed.
“This isn’t a suitable place to talk. I was planning to find the right time to discuss it with you, but since we’ve bumped into each other now, I’ll be frank.”
She paused, and her red lips slowly uttered a sentence.
“Zhan Qipei, let’s get a divorce.”
She didn’t want to drag things out anymore nor pretend she knew nothing about continuing to live with Zhan Qipei.
She didn’t mind if Zhan Qipei found another woman to live his life because he and that woman did seem very well-suited.
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s statement, Xu Moqian almost burst into applause.
The emotions that Zhan Qipei had been suppressing in his chest broke free due to her words, spreading a mix of complex feelings within him.
His reason disappeared, too, and without a second word, he grabbed Qiao Jing’s wrist and forcefully led her towards where he parked his car.
“I absolutely won’t allow you to divorce me , I didn’t cheat. Explain to me what’s going on after we get home.”
Zhan Qipei dropped these words and then fell silent, his facial profile tense, clearly showing just how bad his mood was at that moment.
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, an unhappy expression emerging on her face, her cool eyes growing heavier.
She tried to break free from Zhan Qipei’s restraint, but the man had already lost his reason, his grip becoming unconcerned with restraint and gradually getting stronger.
Qiao Jing felt a pain in her wrist and her voice grew colder as well.
Zhan Qipei smelled the alcohol on Qiao Jing and his face grew even more somber, subconsciously tightening his grip.
Qiao Jing had been drinking.
Even though it was not suitable for her to drink during pregnancy, Qiao Jing still did.
She hadn’t considered her own health.
Thinking of this, the tense string in Zhan Qipei’s mind snapped and he pressed Qiao Jing against the wall.
Qiao Jing realized what Zhan Qipei wanted to do and pushed him away without hesitation.
“I don’t want to get physical with you.”
Something seemed to be churning in the dark depths of Zhan Qipei’s eyes, ready to erupt.
His face was cold as he grabbed Qiao Jing’s hand again and started to walk out.
Xu Moqian saw this and thought it was bad news.
Zhan Qipei was obviously trying to take the person by force. He had finally mustered the courage to confess to Sister Jing once more; how could he let it be interrupted ?
He took a step and followed.
“Zhan Qipei! Let go of Sister Jing! Otherwise, today it’s either you or me, how can there be cheating without admission?! Ni Yue saw with her own eyes that you entered the hotel with another woman, the evidence is irrefutable!”
Upon hearing Xu Moqian’s words, Zhan Qipei’s step instantly halted, he hesitated for a moment, then after two seconds of silence, he looked up at Qiao Jing.
“Is it because of this?”
He had been worried that Qiao Jing might misunderstand him, so he lied to the woman, saying he was in a meeting.
Since Ni Yue had already seen him and his cousin enter the hotel, she would definitely talk to Qiao Jing, and on top of that, he was keeping things from her…
So it was because of this that his wife had misunderstood him for several days?!
Seeing Zhan Qipei loosen his grip a bit, Qiao Jing pulled her hand back.
There was the dinner, as well as him bringing someone to their house, and the conversations she overheard—everything added up.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have convicted him just because he went to the hotel and came back that night.
Zhan Qipei pursed his lips, grabbed Qiao Jing’s wrist again, and forcibly took her to the car, locking the car door behind them.
“I’ll explain when we get home. Trust me, I haven’t cheated.”
He didn’t know what else might have caused the misunderstanding with Qiao Jing, but he was ready to explain everything.
Seeing the certainty on the man’s face, Qiao Jing began to harbor suspicions in her heart.
If that wasn’t considered cheating, then what was?
Could there really be some misunderstanding in this matter?
The car hadn’t even started when Xu Moqian caught up, tapping the passenger-side window with a worried face.
Qiao Jing rolled down the window.
