After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me

Chapter 665: Chapter 397:

Rong Qingze didn’t expect Rong Yanqiao to say such words.

He was truly surprised.

Rong Yanqiao came back with a sarcastic retort, "Aren’t you the same?"

It was one thing to be obsessively in love before, but now he even fantastically expects her to give birth to his and Wenming’s child.

If that’s not madness, then what is?

Rong Qingze grabbed her throat, his strength as a man far exceeded hers, and with the deliberate force he applied at the moment, Rong Yanqiao’s breathing was cut off in an instant, her entire face turning red.

Yet even so, Rong Yanqiao didn’t beg for mercy even once.

Rong Qingze wouldn’t really want her dead.

"Clear your head. Otherwise, disaster comes from careless talk!"

That was all Rong Qingze left her with.

He was not like Rong Yanqiao; when he left, his clothes were neat and tidy, whereas Rong Yanqiao was the disheveled one.

Rong Yanqiao changed her clothes.

She had a meal with Huo Yanshu at the old house and didn’t stay long before leaving.

Rong Qingze was stopped by the old master.

"Now that Qiaoqiao’s marriage has been settled, what about yours? It can’t be that all the marriage arrangements are made for those behind you, while the elder like you remains without even a partner by your side, can it?"

The old master spoke with a detached coldness, his whole demeanor stern and forbidding.

"Don’t you think this is like burying your head in the sand?"

Rong Qingze laughed sarcastically.

There have always been rumors about him and Rong Yanqiao, but some held back due to his non-transparency on the issue, but hiding doesn’t mean nothing is there.

Rong Yanqiao and he got engaged one after the other, isn’t that a way to break the rumors?

He said he didn’t want to just randomly find a woman to get engaged to for the sake of it.

The elder was angered considerably, "How is this burying your head in the sand! Rong Qingze, I see that one day you will really be the death of me!"

"But I haven’t caused your death yet, have I?"

With that indifferent remark, Rong Qingze left.

At the door, he saw Huo Yanshu’s car just starting to drive away.

In the back seat of Huo Yanshu’s car at that moment.

Huo Yanshu spotted a red mark on Rong Yanqiao’s neck.

"It wasn’t there when you came, how did you get it?"

Huo Yanshu’s question made Rong Yanqiao’s heart miss a beat.

The red mark on her neck was carefully concealed, yet Huo Yanshu still discovered it.

"When I was changing clothes, I felt a bit itchy on my neck, and I accidentally scratched it myself," Rong Yanqiao said, her face unchanged and heart steady.

Huo Yanshu just thought it was strange and casually asked.

Now that Rong Yanqiao explained it that way, he couldn’t not believe her.

"Take me home, and can you go to see Grandpa by yourself tomorrow? I think I’m just in a period of weariness, I don’t really want to go out, just want to lie down."

"Okay, then I’ll come to find you after I finish up things tomorrow."

"Alright."

So they agreed.

Huo Yanshu only tentatively set the engagement with Rong Yanqiao for interests, but Old Master Huo took it very seriously, preparing fully.

The Rong Family was also very satisfied with what they saw.

The engagement banquet was set for ten days later.

The statements released simultaneously by the Rong Family and Huo Family instantly sparked heated discussion among netizens.

"They’re really engaged?"

"Reality meets fantasy! I can’t believe it, Rong Yanqiao, the adopted girl, actually has such good fortune!"

"Does Rong Yanqiao have the fortune of a koi? I think I need to rub some luck off Rong Yanqiao! How can she encounter such lucky things in this world!"

...

Xu Wei only found out about the engagement of Rong Yanqiao and Huo Yanshu from the netizens’ heated discussion, and as good friends, Rong Yanqiao hadn’t mentioned it to her.

Xu Wei knew there was a problem.

She went straight to the study room.

In the Xu Family, Xu Shaodong ordered that Xu Wei was not allowed to go out, but her freedom within the Xu Family was not restricted.

Arriving angrily in front of Xu Shaodong, he thought she wanted to go out, so he didn’t take it seriously, until—

Xu Wei spoke through clenched teeth, "It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for those words you said, how could Qiaoqiao possibly not inform me about her engagement news!"

"I don’t understand, why did you do this? Is it a crime to love? Is it a crime to have friends?"

Xu Wei was indignant, she was truly hurt.

Xu Shaodong had never seen her like this before.

Those clear eyes full of grievance and pain, she looked like a wounded deer.

Xu Wei had a lot of friends, he just didn’t understand why Xu Wei would set her heart on Rong Yanqiao.

"The relationship between Rong Yanqiao and Rong Qingze, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Don’t you feel that you have become like this because of her influence?"

Xu Shaodong put down the pen he was holding and stood up, gazing at Xu Wei with a looming presence.

At that moment, Xu Shaodong’s eyes were filled with fierce anger.
