However, Qiao Qiao sneered. “Is that so? That’s great. We have time to settle the score.” As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped the other party. Right on the heels of that, she punched the other party’s stomach again.

Lu Minan couldn’t help but cry out. He covered his face and bent down with a pained expression.

Zhao Jinxiu was shocked. She didn’t expect this person to attack immediately. She hurriedly went over to support Lu Minan and glared at Qiao Qiao. “Young Lady Qiao, what are you doing? How can you hit someone?”

Lu Minan had already recovered and hurriedly pushed Zhao Jinxiu away. He didn’t want Qiao Qiao to misunderstand anything again.

Zhao Jinxiu’s heart sank.

“Young Lady Zhao, this is between him and me.” Qiao Qiao smiled. “And who are you to accuse me?

“I…” Zhao Jinxiu was at a loss for words. Indeed, she was only colleagues with Lu Minan now and had no right to ask. However, she was indignant because her heart ached. “I’m his colleague. Although I have no right, it’s wrong of you to hit someone in public. You…”

“Young Lady Zhao.” Qiao Qiao’s expression darkened. “I hit him, not you. If you’re his mother or his wife, it’s fine to ask. Then may I ask, are you?”

“I…” Zhao Jinxiu looked at Lu Minan.

“Xiao Zhao, go back first. We’ll read the report tomorrow. Thank you for just now.” Lu Minan hurriedly rubbed his cheeks and thought to himself that this girl was really willing to use force. Wasn’t she afraid that she would break him?

Zhao Jinxiu could only leave gloomily, but she felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Qiao Qiao.” Lu Minan waited for Zhao Jinxiu to disappear before walking up to Qiao Qiao. “Let’s talk upstairs.”

“No need.” Qiao Qiao refused. “Lu Minan, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable.”

“How am I despicable?” Lu Minan frowned, but he was panicking. He had indeed tricked Qiao Qiao, but that was because he was anxious. If he didn’t settle it soon, he was worried that his wife would escape.

Of course, this was also because Qiao Qiao didn’t hate him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared.

In the end, after the incident, this woman pulled up her pants and ran away. She even went overseas and he couldn’t get through to her phone. If not for the fact that he happened to take over an old case, he would have chased after her long ago.

Today, he had finally walked into a trap. He had to confirm his identity as Qiao Qiao’s fiancé. Of course, it would be best if he could become her husband.

“You schemed against me that day. I did drink a little too much, but I know my alcohol tolerance. Besides, you didn’t drink much, but those things still happened to us.” Qiao Qiao glared at him with her beautiful eyes. “I thought I was really a beast.”

“I like you,” Lu Minan suddenly said seriously.

“You—I’

“I watched you be born. I even watched you grow up. When you were born, I said that this is my wife.” Lu Minan’s expression was very serious. “I’ve been waiting for you to grow up, but you’ve always treated me as your brother.”

“Qiao Qiao, you don’t hate me. Actually, you like me too, right? You just never thought of treating me as someone you’re in love with, so I can only be a little despicable.” Lu Minan took a step forward. “But I don’t regret it. Even if you really don’t marry me, I know that I once had you..

Then I’ll be satisfied for the rest of my life…”
