The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 704 - 184: Encountering Zuo Yuqing

Song Qiao took a deep breath before tugging the corners of her mouth into a faint smile and looked up at the man opposite her, continuing to speak, "You’re right, I don’t really have any right to interfere too much with Wanwan’s personal matters, after all, those aren’t trivial matters like everyday affairs. It’s just that I hadn’t thought that far."

Lu Jingchen’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently, "I’m not saying you’re in the wrong, Xiao Qiao, I just think you should give Ning Wan and Mo Han some private space..."

"Lu Jingchen." Not waiting for him to finish, Song Qiao directly interrupted him, lifting her gaze to meet his firmly, biting her own lip as she asked, "Was it you who told Xi Mohan about Ning Wan being in hospital?"

She had always been very curious about how Xi Mohan could appear at the hospital so early. Although she knew Xi Mohan had the capability to find out about Ning Wan’s hospitalization immediately, she was more inclined to believe that it was Lu Jingchen who had told Xi Mohan.

This suspicion slowly swelled in her heart. She had always wanted to ask, but had been delayed because of taking care of Ning Wan and had not gotten around to directly asking him.

At first, she had reservations about directly questioning Lu Jingchen, thinking that given his temperament, he would probably be angry. But now, without any hesitation, she asked all her doubts.

Lu Jingchen looked at her indifferently, the little woman opposite him biting her lip, clearly angered but suppressing it, not venting out. Her tone was more of an accusation than a question.

He picked up a cup from the table, took a sip, and then looked straight at Song Qiao, admitting in an unhurried voice, "I told Mo Han."

Although she was mentally prepared before the question, hearing his personal admission still made Song Qiao struggle to accept it. Her eyes filled with a warm anger that she couldn’t vent, and after half a minute of processing, she decisively stood up to leave.

Seeing her stand up, Lu Jingchen’s gaze turned slightly stern. As she was about to pass by him, he quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, his low voice carrying a mix of indifference and annoyance, furrowing his brows quite severely, "Song Qiao, what are you doing?"

This time, Lu Jingchen directly called her by her full name.

It seemed that throughout their marriage, this man only called her full name when displeased or angry; otherwise, he most often called her Qiaoqiao or Xiao Qiao.

Indifferent to her name being Song Qiao, her wrist was caught by the man, forcing her to halt. Song Qiao turned to look at him, smiled at him with a hint of self-derision, "What’s wrong? Do I need your permission even to leave now?"

She was incredibly frustrated at the moment, but couldn’t vent her anger towards the man in front of her. The feeling was truly suffocating.

MD!

Lu Jingchen nonetheless did not let go of her hand, "Sit down and finish your meal first; afterwards, I’ll drive you wherever you want to go."

Unable to maintain the smile on her face any longer, Song Qiao brushed her long hair behind her ear and met his gaze unwaveringly, "I have no appetite today and I’m not hungry. It doesn’t matter whether I eat or not. Let go, I’m going to the hospital."

"Song Qiao, I said sit down and eat," the man’s voice grew colder and more detached, his eyes also reflecting an icy sternness, "Or are you suggesting I should feed you?"

Caught off guard, Song Qiao saw his eyes as dark as spilled ink and felt her breath catch subconsciously, yet she stubbornly clenched her teeth, "Lu Jingchen, be reasonable. I said I’m not in the mood to eat and I’m not hungry. Are you really going to force me to eat everything you ordered?"

If she remembered correctly, the food he ordered was not a small amount.

"If you don’t sit down, I don’t mind feeding you myself. You should know I have many ways of making you eat."

Song Qiao, "..." She really wanted to kick him.

She had always known that Lu Jingchen was very domineering, which is why she often didn’t dare to confront him directly, like now with this man’s threat, it really made her hesitate to move.
