Xu Wan gazed at the scenery from upstairs for a while and felt a little hungry. She was about to go downstairs to find something to eat when she suddenly heard whispers from downstairs.

“Did you really see that woman come? Was the room opposite President Qiao’s room prepared for her?”

“I really saw her! Though I only saw her silhouette. She looks pretty.”

“Of course she is. Otherwise, how could she have hooked up with Boss Qiao? That woman is so shameless. Doesn’t she know that Boss Qiao already has Miss Bai Zhen? Miss Bai Zhen is already pregnant. Yet that woman still dared to sneak onto Boss Qiao’s bed when Miss Bai Zhen couldn’t satisfy Boss Qiao!”

“What a disgusting woman. Poor Miss Bai Zhen…”

“When do you think Miss Bai Zhen is coming back? When she returns, we can chase this b*tch away. What right does she have to stay in such a nice room? Miss Bai Zhen only stayed in the second-class bedroom. How infuriating…”

…

Xu Wan tightened her grip on the railing. Her knuckles turned a little white.

She didn’t expect to be reviled by his servants the moment she arrived at Qiao Chen’s house.

Moreover, from their gossip, these servants seemed to know Bai Zhen. This meant that Bai Zhen had also stayed at Qiao Chen’s house before.

So… he had once brought another woman home.

Xu Wan did not know why she felt a little down.

She clearly didn’t have the right to feel this way. After all, she and Qiao Chen only had a business relationship. Could it be because Qiao Chen saved her when the despicable guy harassed her in the rented apartment, so she developed feelings for him?

Xu Wan, wake up. How could he like you?

Xu Wan didn’t want to listen to the servants’ insults anymore. She turned around and walked into the room.

That night, Qiao Chen returned.

Qiao Chen took off his jacket. There was a trace of alcohol on him. He seemed to have just come back from a dinner party. Xu Wan stood in front of him uncomfortably and said in an uneasy tone, “I don’t need to stay in such a high-class room. Help me change to a smaller one.”

Such a high-class room should belong to Bai Zhen.

Qiao Chen frowned. “Are you not used to living here?” He had specially arranged two pots of flowers in that room because he heard women liked flowers.

After some thought, Qiao Chen suddenly understood. “Oh, you want to stay in my room?”

…

Xu Wan was speechless for a while before shaking her head. “No, I just…”

“Just say you want to sleep with me. I won’t lock the door at night. You can just come in if you want.” Qiao Chen smirked mischievously. Seeing Xu Wan’s face suddenly turn red satisfied him instantly.

Xu Wan didn’t expect Qiao Chen to be such a narcissist in private.

Who wanted to sleep with him? How shameless was he to say something like that?

To prevent further misunderstandings from Qiao Chen, she could only continue staying in her room.

“Have you eaten? I came back late because I had some business to attend to tonight.” Qiao Chen asked when he saw that Xu Wan didn’t look very energetic.

“Not yet.”

“Are you not used to the food here?” Qiao Chen frowned. After a while, he nodded in understanding and made a call. “Bring those chefs from the Qiao family here. Bring Judy over too.”

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Chen looked at Xu Wan. “I’ll bring you out for a meal first. The chefs from the Qiao family will be here tomorrow. They’ll cook whatever you want to eat.”

Old Master Qiao was an old foodie, so the chefs in the Qiao family were the best. The chefs in Qiao Chen’s house were at most restaurant-level, but the chefs in the Qiao family were master-tier.

Xu Wan didn’t eat because she didn’t want to hear the servants commenting on her. She didn’t expect Qiao Chen to do so much just so she could have a meal.

She instantly felt uneasy.

She was not used to people treating her so well.

However, Qiao Chen had already put on his windbreaker. He promptly grabbed Xu Wan’s hand and left the house with her.

The two of them went to a nearby Japanese restaurant. Qiao Chen ordered a few signature dishes for Xu Wan. “There are only a few delicious dishes in this restaurant. Try them. It’s okay if you don’t like them. We can go to another restaurant.”

Xu Wan didn’t dare to trouble Qiao Chen again. She could tell that Qiao Chen was already giving her face by accompanying her for a meal even though he came back so late after a busy day. She ate the Japanese food and nodded. “It’s quite delicious.”

It was almost ten o’clock when they got home after dinner.

Qiao Chen’s room was just opposite Xu Wan’s. Before Qiao Chen entered his room, he seemed to have remembered something. He turned his head and reminded Xu Wan. “I won’t lock the door.”

Xu Wan truly didn’t want to sleep with him!

Seeing the rascally smirk on Qiao Chen’s face, Xu Wan finally understood that this person seemed to be very passionate about bullying and teasing her.

He was too much.

However, when she thought of the dinner that night, Xu Wan could not get angry at Qiao Chen.

…

The next morning, before Xu Wan woke up, she heard someone knocking on the door.

She opened the door in her pajamas and saw that Qiao Chen had already dressed up. He said, “Let’s go.”

Xu Wan asked, “Where are we going?”

“I’m sending you to class!” Qiao Chen rolled his eyes at Xu Wan..
