After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 188

Qin Xian's words struck like thunder from a clear sky, stunning everyone into silence.

Even Ji Fei was dumbfounded, her heart skipping a beat.

Her inner thoughts amplified infinitely.

[Good heavens, has he gone mad? Why would he say such things?!]

Qin Xian curved his lips into a smile.

He just wanted to give this irritating little girl a shock.

[Could it be that Qin Xian is so petty that when someone annoys him, he'll say anything, even nonsense, just to get back at them?]

Qin Xian raised his eyebrows helplessly - it wasn't nonsense at all, but his true feelings.

Back then, it was indeed because Ji Fei was too restless, fraying everyone's nerves, so the wedding kept getting delayed.

And now... he suddenly found himself looking forward to seeing Ji Fei in a wedding dress.

But Ji Fei's mind was still racing frantically. Suddenly, she noticed something wasn't right - why was it so quiet? And why were their tablemates all open-mouthed, their stunned gazes constantly shifting between Qin Xian and something behind them?

Ji Fei didn't even need to turn around.

[Hah! I knew it, I'm just being used as a tool again!]

Qin Xian: ?

[He must have noticed Yu Zhi arriving, that's why he deliberately said such mushy things and called me 'Fei Fei' - just to provoke his first love. These CEO types really are full of schemes.]

Qin Xian felt like coughing blood when he heard this: ...what on earth was she talking about?!

Though... had Yu Zhi really arrived?

[Suddenly I'm so envious of Han Ziyu, at least she got paid to help make an ex jealous. I'm just an ordinary tool, and a free one at that. If Qin Xian doesn't give me extra money after the divorce, he's just a heartless capitalist!]

Qin Xian: Very well, I'm thinking about our wedding, and you're thinking about divorce?

Qin Xian was both amused and annoyed - the longest journey he'd ever traveled was through Ji Fei's convoluted thought processes. How could she imagine things like this?!

[Well, let me see just how much of a perfect goddess this Yu Zhi is.]

Although she'd seen photos, Ji Fei had never met Yu Zhi in person.

Following everyone's gaze, she turned around.

[Oh ho, she really is an elegant beauty. Oh look, is she about to cry? The script is really playing out! He says harsh words, she cries, he acts tough, she pretends not to care, he...]

Qin Xian: Stop with the 'he'!

Qin Xian turned around directly, determined to prove tonight that his breakup with his ex was amicable with no lingering attachments.

When he turned around, his eyes met Yu Zhi's.

Qin Xian was taken aback - it had been so long since he'd seen Yu Zhi that she seemed almost like a stranger.

But her current expression was familiar to him.

When they broke up, Yu Zhi had worn the same expression - face deathly pale, eyes brimming with tears, looking like a willow about to break in the wind.

Qin Xian's thought process had been: she looks quite upset, and if she's insisting on breaking up while feeling this sad, she must be determined. There's no need to ask questions - just wish her well for the future.

Then they broke up and never saw or contacted each other again.

Seeing her again now, Qin Xian suddenly had a revelation.

It wasn't possible to come to a class reunion and suddenly wear such an expression - it must be because of what he just said. Did this mean Yu Zhi still had feelings for him?

Then back then, when she left, that expression... could it have been hoping for him to ask questions and try to keep her?

Qin Xian, who had done nothing and calmly accepted the breakup while offering his blessings, suddenly felt quite awkward.

[That expression, that look, tsk tsk tsk, it really tugs at the heartstrings!]

Qin Xian was exasperated - what are you feeling sympathetic about?

[But... Little Tang's makeup skills are amazing!]

Qin Xian: ?

[This heartbroken, pitiful makeup look - men definitely wouldn't notice it, and even women wouldn't unless they looked carefully. Technical master, Little Tang is absolutely a technical master.]

Qin Xian's gaze instantly became filled with curious scrutiny. As a man, he... well, he really hadn't noticed.

But that didn't prevent Qin Xian's awkward old habit from acting up.

So it was all fake? An act?

When Yu Zhi saw Qin Xian staring at her, she felt triumphant inside, but lowered her eyes pitifully, as if she felt too awkward to take a step forward.

[So it was indeed Xuan Yi who found the makeup artist for Yu Zhi, helping both Yu Zhi and herself?! Killing two birds with one stone, specifically targeting Qin Xian and Luo Zhou!]

Qin Xian: As for Luo Zhou, he didn't know, but he himself definitely wasn't a bird!

Because no one had spoken, the atmosphere remained frozen.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, almost holding their breath, not wanting to miss even the slightest detail.

It was spectacular, absolutely spectacular - at a class reunion, meeting a first love while having a wife by one's side, and having just announced wedding plans. If they didn't keep them in suspense, it would be like riding a roller coaster - what an exciting scene!

Even their tablemates were watching with excitement.

[Unexpected, truly unexpected, I've become the subject of others' gossip, everyone's gazes are practically creating sparks as they dart between the three of us. Although I can't fully experience their joy as spectators, but... I can still somewhat enjoy this drama. I can't wait to see how they'll react next. Hurry up!]

Qin Xian: ...So you really have no sense of self-awareness or responsibility as the legitimate wife?!

This time, he didn't want to indulge Ji Fei's drama-watching.

Qin Xian's gaze was calm and undisturbed - he neither deliberately ignored nor warmly greeted, just nodded slightly as one would to an acquaintance, counting as an acknowledgment.

And he treated not only Yu Zhi this way but also extended the same indifferent treatment to the girl standing behind Yu Zhi, whom everyone had overlooked.

It was then that people noticed there was another person, also their classmate, who used to always be by Yu Zhi's side - Zhu Lingling.

But now Zhu Lingling was glaring at Qin Xian with anger, seemingly very dissatisfied with him.

While Qin Xian's manner was perfectly proper, it was filled with such detachment that all the gossip-hungry onlookers felt let down, as if they'd been built up only to be disappointed.

Is that it? Just that!

Ji Fei, who had been secretly watching Qin Xian, was shocked.

[What kind of reaction is this? It's way too calm! That's your ex-girlfriend, your first love! Is he pretending? Acting? Is he actually experiencing emotional turmoil inside?!]

Qin Xian had given up trying to stop Ji Fei's wild imagination, he could only stick to the principle that the innocent need not defend themselves.

Faced with Qin Xian's reaction, a flash of disappointment crossed Yu Zhi's eyes, but knowing his personality well, she knew he was just naturally indifferent, so she didn't dwell on it too much.

Expecting strong emotional reactions from Qin Xian was impossible, and such a person tends to be nostalgic and protective.

In other words, the longer someone got along harmoniously with him, the more likely they were to receive his care.

Even though Qin Xian was married and took his responsibilities seriously, Yu Zhi still felt she had a chance, after all, she had been the woman who had stayed by Qin Xian's side as a lover for the longest time.

Plus, since she had left before, she believed she must hold a special place in Qin Xian's heart.

Yu Zhi wasn't discouraged - this time she had returned determined to win back her man.

Yu Zhi gave Xuan Yi a look.

Xuan Yi immediately spoke up: "Yu Zhi, Zhu Lingling, welcome back to the country. We thought you wouldn't make it to the reunion, but you've arrived just in time."

Xuan Yi was about to stand up, but then cast an awkward glance at Ji Fei and carefully said, "We only have empty seats at our table, everyone..."

"Come on over, what's the big deal?" Qi Li spoke up directly: "We're all old friends. Where else would you sit, with people you don't know well?"

Luo Zhou also seized the chance to make things uncomfortable, "Exactly, unless someone here isn't welcoming?"

Though everyone felt awkward, being called out by Luo Zhou, they quickly shook their heads and put on smiles.

Well, actually everyone wanted Yu Zhi to come over - how could they let such an exciting drama slip away?

But Yu Zhi now acted as if she wanted to avoid any awkwardness, reluctant to go over, instead looking around trying to find other empty seats.

In the end, it was Zhu Lingling who 'forcefully' dragged her over.

"Just sit here, I'd like to see who dares to chase you away!" After Zhu Lingling's forceful declaration, she shot a warning look at Ji Fei.

Everyone nervously looked over, afraid that Ji Fei might get upset and cause history to repeat itself.

But Ji Fei's reaction was... completely no reaction!

Yu Zhi's gaze swept over Ji Fei. Having heard many stories from Jin Yue about how stupid, foolish, and impulsive she was, her eyes couldn't hide their disdain. However, when their eyes met, she was stunned.

Because Ji Fei's gaze was completely pure, even containing a hint of amusement, making Yu Zhi feel extremely uncomfortable.

What is she doing? Watching the show?!

But didn't Xuan Yi say that Ji Fei would go crazy at the mere mention of her?

She had thought that once she appeared, just a brief exchange of glances with Qin Xian would be enough to make Ji Fei throw a hysterical fit and cause a scene at the venue.

This would make herself appear more innocent, while proving Ji Fei was unworthy of Qin Xian.

But Ji Fei's current reaction left Yu Zhi disappointed.

However, she still had an ace up her sleeve - that presumptuous email would surely bring Ji Fei down completely.

Perhaps she wouldn't even need to rack her brains; one move would be enough to deal with this fool.
