Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 706 - 680: Only This Kind of Feeling Is Genuine

Mahadi was also taken aback, Qian’s words basically hit all his sore spots, but he thought this might just be a coincidence.

She couldn’t have the ability to foresee the future, how could she know his purpose was to get closer to Xian’er and save decades of struggle just by meeting him once?

Could it be that this woman knows the Carter family’s internal secrets? That’s impossible, hardly anyone could know about his family’s affairs, there’s no way Chen Xiaoqian could figure it out at a glance.

Qian indeed couldn’t tell just by looking, but she had a cheat code from her past life; she had just happened to watch a legendary interview about this mysterious mogul in her future life.

While everyone was focusing on his achievements, Qian paid attention to his two previous marriages. Although it was just briefly mentioned, Qian knew the wealth and connections those marriages brought him were extraordinary. Of course, one of those marriages also brought Qian a large fortune, because his first wife, whom he unscrupulously abandoned, was coincidentally one of Qian’s major clients.

Qian was all too familiar with how this scoundrel dealt with women, and when she saw that Mai’s target this time was her good friend Xian’er, Qian had been holding back to teach him a lesson, and finally, the opportunity had come.

While Mai was still speculating whether Qian’s previous remarks to Phoenix Guy’s family were a coincidence or something else, Qian had already moved on to the next step.

"Xian’er, how’s your drinking capacity?" Qian casually linked arms with Xian’er as if nothing had happened.

"Not bad."

"Can you outdrink me?"

"Who can outdrink you? Compared to you, I still have a long way to go." Xian’er truly couldn’t outdrink Qian; not many men could. Qian really has a great drinking capacity.

"Then let’s go back and continue drinking, today I’ll make sure you blackout, but you better not take advantage of me when you’re drunk!"

Mai felt slightly relieved when Qian started talking about this trivial topic; all those things earlier should purely be a coincidence.

However, Xian’er, who understood Qian’s hint, turned pale.

She understood!

Qian’er’s implication was that if Mai couldn’t win her over, and she had no feelings for him, then he might take advantage when she’s drunk and force a marriage by pregnancy!

Or perhaps he’d drug her directly without needing her to be drunk!

With personal bodyguards constantly following her to various events, and her often having to attend drinking parties for business, wouldn’t that give Mai many chances to make a move?

Xian’er looked at Qian disbelievingly, and Qian nodded, that’s exactly the plan.

No matter if it’s a scoundrel from abroad or a Phoenix Guy from home, their tactics to win over women are just a few tricks, the same scoundrels in the same world.

Qian not only knew why Mai came but also warned Xian’er in advance about what Mai might do in the future.

Seeing Xian’er looking pale because of this, Qian, afraid she might reveal her emotions, hooked her arm and led her to their seats.

"Xian’er, do you remember how we first met?"

"Yes." Xian’er was now filled with conspiracy theories, thinking about what she should do to withdraw unscathed and not drag her family down when someone with a powerful background targets her.

"On such a cold day, we went to work together, we’ve seen the worst situations, I’ve known you longer than Dadao has, right?"

"Yeah..." Hearing Qian say this, Xian’er finally regained a bit of spirit and looked at Qian helplessly.

Qian squeezed her hand slightly to bring Xian’er back to herself and away from bad imaginations.

"So you just have to believe that there are more important things in this world than just relationships between men and women. Who says women must need men? Sometimes, the friendship between women isn’t inferior to romance."

Ah, Qian’er was comforting her, giving her confidence! Xian’er understood; Qian must have sensed her current anxiety and helplessness, that’s why she’s saying this.

"Qian’er, I—"

"Shh, darling, you don’t have to say anything, I understand, you care about me, and I care about you too!" Qian gently placed her hand on Xian’er’s lips.

Walking behind them, Mai was stunned by this scene, what was happening?!

Two women looking at each other affectionately, why did it look so bizarre?

And at this moment, the private kitchen suddenly played a weirdly mysterious theme song from a romance drama that was popular across the straits two years ago!

"Ah~ Deep love, misty rain, the world is only in your eyes, it’s not too late to meet, why in such a rush~ Mountains and waters heavy! A song sung with thousands of tears, emotions in a stirring story~"

What the heck! Could it be that Chen Xiaoqian and Xian’er, actually, are a couple?!

At this moment, Mai’s heart was full of thunder; when he gets agitated, he cannot express his feelings in Chinese, and the words he was cursing in his mind when translated were something like: Mirror Grinding (Lesbian) Yes (Love) Good (Affair)!!!

"Qian’er~" Xian’er, moved to tears by Qian’s friendship.

"Xian’er~" Qian, fully aware that Mai had been led astray by her but intentionally did this, spoke sweetly and even held Xian’er’s hand!

A cold wind blew through Mai’s heart.

The bride (lamb) he carefully selected, could it be that she doesn’t like men and likes women instead?

"No matter who you marry in the future, no matter who you have in your heart!" Qian’s peripheral vision caught the dumbfounded Mai, and it made her want to laugh, but she maintained a serious face.

"I won’t forget you, or the hardships we’ve shared, or your kindness to me!" Xian’er was genuinely grateful to Qian; without Qian, she might have been schemed against by Mai!

And this scene had left Mai’s facial muscles paralyzed. He wondered why Chen Xiaoqian kept targeting him! Turns out she doesn’t like men, she likes women!!!

"Let’s go, my friend, friends walk together for life!" Qian linked arms with Xian’er, and Xian’er seamlessly continued, "Those days will no longer be!"

"Tomorrow I’ll marry you!"

"If it weren’t for you asking me! If it weren’t for you begging me!"

This game of completing song lyrics was something the best friends often played, Qian started with songs from the same singer, and Xian’er carried on fluently.

Mai forgot what he should say, now Qian had stimulated him to the point that he only had one thought left.

Who am I?

Where did I come from?

What am I here to do...?

"If not at the right time, you made my heart flutter!"

The two best friends sang a line together, then clapped in celebration, perfect!

This was a game they often played, and at this moment, Mai was questioning his life; if they were lesbians, then none of his male charms and pickup artist tips would work, would they?

Then if it was forced marriage by pregnancy—

"Xian’er, let’s try IVF sometime." Qian continued to destroy Mai’s last little bit of hope.

What the heck! I’m so screwed!
