Сhарter 6 Qi Mubаi Рiсks а Fight
“Вrother Mubаi, уou cаme just in time. Соmе with mе.” Su Nuаnnuаn grabbеd Qi Мubаi’s slеeve with hеr small hand and, without а sеcоnd thоught, drаggеd him uрstairs.
Sееing this, Su Мanjing watсhеd their rеtreating figures with а livid eхpression, nеarlу driven mаd with jеalousу. Qi Mubai clеаrlу likеd her, so whу wаs hе with Su Nuаnnuan?
“Nuannuаn, wait.” Qi Мubai tried tо stop, but Su Nuаnnuan ignorеd him. “Nuannuan.”
Onlу whеn Qi Мubai shоutеd uncontrollаbly did Su Nuаnnuаn halt. Tеars quicklу wellеd uр in hеr eуes as shе stared аt him in disbеliеf.
“Brother Mubai, you yеllеd at me?” Su Nuannuan’s first wоrds wеre an aссusation. Though reluctant, Qi Mubai seemed to realize his tone didn’t match his usual demeanor.
“I’m sorry, Brother Mubai wasn’t scolding you. I’m just very upset. Nuannuan, didn’t you say you’d come to the Qi family to see me today?”
He had prepared everything. Once he married Su Nuannuan, he could secure his footing in the Qi family. But to his surprise, she never showed up.
All he received was a pile of gifts from the Su family, which earned him a round of sarcasm from Mother Qi and left him utterly humiliated.
“Second Brother said I should stay home and not go out, that a girl should be reserved. Brother Mubai, are you angry?”
Su Nuannuan looked at Qi Mubai with tear-filled eyes. He was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
“Brother Mubai, I bought you a gift. Please don’t be angry, okay?” Su Nuannuan placed a gift box in Qi Mubai’s arms.
Holding the box, Qi Mubai’s expression turned complicated. Seeing Su Nuannuan’s innocent face, his gaze flickered. For some reason, meeting her eyes made him feel intensely guilty.
Su Manjing, who had followed them, saw Qi Mubai’s expression and her heart sank. If Qi Mubai fell for Su Nuannuan, it would spell trouble.
“Sister, Brother Mubai, what are you talking about? I hope I’m not interrupting.”
Su Nuannuan’s lips twitched. If you know you’re interrupting, why are you barging in? How shameless.
“Sister, you came just in time. Brother Mubai is angry with me. Can you help persuade him not to be upset?” Su Nuannuan tugged pitifully at Su Manjing’s sleeve.
Su Nuannuan felt disgusted with herself. This act was completely out of character—playing the innocent, delicate role really didn’t suit her.
“Brother Mubai, did you and Sister have a fight? Please don’t be angry with her, okay?”
As if I’m dead! Right in front of me, they’re already holding hands. Who knows what they’d do if I weren’t here.
Wait—this was a perfect opportunity! She needed to find a way to leave for a moment and gather some evidence first.
“Nuannuan, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive. I just want to marry you as soon as possible. I got too eager.” Qi Mubai softened his tone. He couldn’t afford to upset Su Nuannuan now.
“Brother Mubai, what are you saying? I’m ignoring you now.”
Su Nuannuan was thoroughly disgusted, afraid her expression might slip. She pretended to be shy and turned her back.
Su Manjing’s face also darkened. Hearing the man who liked her say he wanted to marry Su Nuannuan felt like swallowing a fly.However, Qi Mubai could only become the true heir of the Qi family by marrying Su Nuannuan. Once he became the head of the family, she would definitely get rid of Su Nuannuan.
“Congratulations, sister, on your upcoming marriage with Brother Mubai.” Su Manjing’s voice carried a hint of grievance, her eyes constantly glancing toward Qi Mubai.
Seeing the tears glistening in Su Manjing’s eyes, Qi Mubai immediately felt flustered. If only Su Manjing were the legitimate daughter of the Su family—Sister Manjing is so wonderful.
“Sister, what are you saying! I won’t talk with you anymore. I’m going back to my room.” The young girl ran off before Qi Mubai could speak, and her reaction was exactly what Qi Mubai had hoped for.
“Nuannuan, I’ll head back first. Once I’ve discussed everything with my father and the others, I’ll come to the Su family to propose formally.” Qi Mubai’s voice came from the doorway. Su Nuannuan sneered inwardly—if Madam Qi had agreed, the proposal would have been made long ago.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you, Brother Mubai.”
Su Nuannuan listened as the footsteps at the door gradually faded away. She stood up, gently lifted a corner of the curtain, and watched Qi Mubai’s car drive off into the distance.
Not long after Qi Mubai left, Su Manjing followed closely behind, driving her own car out. The Su family had truly raised a dog—treating her as their own daughter, yet she was sleeping with her sister’s fiancé.
Su Nuannuan stood behind the window for a long time. Only when her feet grew numb did she finally open her phone.
She needed evidence. She hoped Su Manjing wouldn’t disappoint her.
“Brother Mubai, I’m sorry. I know this is wrong, but I can’t help thinking of you. Brother Mubai, am I a bad woman?” Su Manjing’s intermittent sobbing voice came through.
Su Nuannuan activated the remote camera, but unfortunately, the angle was off. She couldn’t capture the scene of their illicit affair.
Still, it was a small gain. However, audio alone wasn’t enough—it wouldn’t be sufficient to bring them down. To break off the engagement, she needed to find a way to obtain high-definition footage of them.
These two were experts at making excuses. The evidence had to be solid. It seemed she would have to figure out how to get the dashcam footage from the car. But the car belonged to Su Manjing—how could she get the car keys?
“Manjing, don’t cry. This isn’t your fault. It’s all my fault. Please don’t cry.” Qi Mubai comforted Su Manjing softly, trying to soothe her emotions.
“Brother Mubai, I’m sorry. I’ve wronged you and my sister. Let this be the last time, okay? After this, you’ll be my brother-in-law.” Su Manjing’s choked voice was truly something else.
“Manjing, don’t talk nonsense. Believe me, Brother Mubai. One day, I’ll make you the mistress of the Qi family.” Qi Mubai really had quite the nerve.
Even though Su Nuannuan had mentally prepared herself, her heart still ached. So, he had never truly considered her. The mistress of the Qi family? I’ll make sure you two get exactly what you deserve.
“Brother Mubai, don’t lie to me. You and my sister are about to get married. What we’re doing is wrong. But Brother Mubai, I’m so heartbroken. It’s all my fault. My sister will surely hate me.”
“Manjing, this isn’t your fault. We were together first. It was Su Nuannuan who forced her way in. It’s not your fault.”
What did Qi Mubai mean by that? Back then, when she had taken a liking to him, Su Manjing had encouraged her relentlessly. Could it be that Su Manjing was also just using Qi Mubai? Now, that would be interesting.”That’s not it, sister. It’s just that I love you too much. It’s all my fault. Brother Mubai, sister is definitely going to hate me to death.”
Su Nuannuan twitched her lips. How dramatic! Isn’t this even more dramatic than a TV show? What a perfect white lotus.
“Manjing, don’t speak up for her anymore. She always bullies you like that, yet you’re always defending her. You’re just too kind-hearted.”
Pfft, Su Manjing is kind-hearted? I often bully her? This Qi Mubai is either an idiot or blind. A scumbag paired with a green tea bitch—a perfect match.
