Married to the Protagonist

Chapter 53: Were you the one who beat up Zhou Chao? (3)

For people like Zhou Xue who was so determined to fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix, marrying rich was almost the only way out she could think of. And, at that time, she was fortunate enough to have gone to school with a few rich guys. She couldn’t predict what Huo Qidong felt towards her, which gave her a great sense of crisis. She wasn’t so sure she could catch Huo Qidong at that time so she went for the wide net approach and successfully got into the noble circle of the capital, mingling with those people from the upper circle. Out of all those people during that time, it seemed like Yan Cheng was the only one who turned a cold shoulder to her.

Memories came flooding back.

Zhou Xue’s face turned from green to white, and back again.

After that, it seemed that Huo Qidong and Yan Cheng were competing in a college project. Yan Cheng won over Huo Qidong and had a better reputation than him in school. Then, they had more disagreements outside of that. They were young then and it was easy to get passionate when you’re young and filled with vigor. Huo Qidong’s pettiness made it so that he would fight Yan Cheng at everything…In the end, a rumor suddenly came out in school that Yan Cheng was chasing after Zhou Xue. Zhou Xue also found out at that time that Huo Qidong was starting to be nice to her again.

Yan Cheng’s “pursuit” of Zhou Xue seemed to stem from her casting the net first.

He went along with her intentions. Then, he never expected Huo Qidong to be stupid enough to get confused and was really brainless enough to try and snatch everything from him.

He also married Zhou Xue, much to his surprise.

Ah, well, it was a shotgun wedding.

Only, it seems that this “son” seems to have been aborted a few days after Zhou Xue got married.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Yan Cheng held up his wine glass, leisurely swirling the red wine inside.

Once the jack in the box was open, there was no need to hide him back up again. He licked his upper lip and smirked, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. It even looked a bit demeaning. “But you should thank me after all. Without me, you wouldn’t be able to become Mrs. Huo.”

Zhou Xue’s body went cold. Even now she was in disbelief.

She raised her head fiercely to look at him. After seeing the expression on his face, she shut her mouth again, unable to say anything.

At a time like this, Zhou Xue suddenly discovered that Yan Cheng was a little scary.

Licking her lips, a thought seemed to pop up in her mind. After latching onto it, she asked, “Were you the one who beat up Zhou Chao?”

Yan Cheng pondered for a moment at that, but his expression was unchanged as he answered, “No.”

Indeed, it wasn’t.

But the one who did was right outside.

A small crack was slightly opened in the door to the compartment.

Chen Jinyao didn’t come to peek, but she sent Ah Tai instead. Since Ah Tai was ordered to watch after Chen Jinyao, he didn’t dare to leave her, so Chen Jinyao asked him to eavesdrop instead. That made sure that only you, I, and God knew what happened here.

Eventually, after struggling for a few moments, Ah Tai buckled down and joined Chen Jinyao’s camp. At the same time, he apologized to himself for thinking that Chen Jinyao was open-minded and considerate…

And thus he concluded: Women never mean what they say!!!

Some things should end at there.

Yan Cheng didn’t have the patience to drag this on with Zhou Xue either. He raised his brow and set aside the wine glass, got up slowly, and slowly fastened his left sleeve cuff. Under the dim lights, he looked down at her from up above with his eyes lowered, the coldness within maddening.

After a while, he finally spoke, “If I were you, I’d latch onto Huo Qidong as desperately as I can. After all, you won’t find another catch once you get divorced with him.”
