Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Young Madam, You Even Dare to Deceive Your Husband?

The next morning, Qiao Rui was ready to head out before dawn.

She didn’t bring anything except a jar of tea as she went downstairs.

Mrs. Feng glanced at the clock—it was only five-thirty— and asked, "Madam, you’re going out while it’s barely light out?"

"Yes, Mrs. Feng," Qiao Rui said, "I’ve asked for time off from Mr. Pei, I’ll be returning to the countryside for three days. There’s no need to tidy up my room."

"Mr. Pei agreed?" Mrs. Feng was a bit surprised.

"Yes." Qiao Rui nodded and said, "Mr. Pei is a good person."

Mrs. Feng also nodded. "Yes, our master is a very nice person."

Qiao Rui sneered to herself, good indeed; she was just being polite.

"This is Mao Jian tea, just enjoy it," Qiao Rui said with a smile.

"But I heard you telling Mr. Pei yesterday that the tea leaves were...?" Mrs. Feng trailed off.

Qiao Rui snickered. "I was teasing Mr. Pei. It’s not ’booger’-sized, sister Feng."

Mrs. Feng was also taken aback, finding it a bit hard to believe.

Qiao Rui smiled, handed the tea leaves to Mrs. Feng, and said, "This tea is excellent; you’ll know once you try it."

Mrs. Feng shook her head with a smile: "Madam, how could you even deceive your husband?"

"Because I’m afraid he can’t sleep if he drinks tea at night," Qiao Rui found a random excuse to brush it off: "I’ll be leaving first."

"Hmm, be careful on the road, and if you need a ride, just call. Old Feng is always ready to help."

"Thank you, Mrs. Feng, but there’s no need." Qiao Rui smiled and left.

As she walked out of the front gate, to her surprise, she saw Pei Liyan jogging outside.

He was dressed in a white tracksuit with professional running shoes, jogging energetically—a clear sign of a regular runner.

Qiao Rui didn’t expect Pei Liyan to be so committed to exercise; no wonder he kept in such good shape.

She glanced over from afar, then turned and walked away from the other side.

She just didn’t want to greet Pei Liyan, so she took another path.

But unexpectedly, this move caught Pei Liyan’s attention even more.

Pei Liyan, with his keen sight, had spotted Qiao Rui leaving the house from afar, but in the blink of an eye, she vanished.

Was she avoiding him?

Pei Liyan felt this ’ugly girl’ was rather strange. Was he so terrifying?

He didn’t know what drove him, but he ran towards the next intersection where Qiao Rui might appear.

And so, Pei Liyan easily blocked Qiao Rui’s path on the other side of the residential area.

As Qiao Rui turned the corner, she was met with the sight of Pei Liyan.

He raised his eyebrows slightly as if to ask, "Qiao Rui, you’re avoiding me?"

Qiao Rui shook her head. "No, how could I? Mr. Pei, you’re overthinking it."

"I hope that it’s just me overthinking," Pei Liyan said with half-closed eyes. "You’re going back without bringing anything?"

"I have money," Qiao Rui said. "And a phone."

"Not even a bag?"

"I’m not used to carrying one," Qiao Rui replied.

Pei Liyan frowned, "Be careful on the road."

"Thanks for your concern, Mr. Pei. I will," Qiao Rui nodded, "I’ll be going now."

Pei Liyan nodded again.

Qiao Rui had just walked beyond the villa complex when she suddenly saw Qiao Xiang in the same white tracksuit, jogging towards her direction.

She was stunned for a moment.

Qiao Xiang had already spotted Qiao Rui and quickly ran over: "Sixth sister, where are you off to so early?"

"Big sister, what a coincidence," Qiao Rui smiled.

"Not a coincidence, I’ve also just bought a villa here," Qiao Xiang said. "Living here really does feel good."

Buying a villa here, without saying, one knew the ulterior motive was not for the wine.

Qiao Rui also thought that Qiao Xiang was trying very hard. For Pei Liyan’s sake, she really went all out.

Buying a villa alongside Pei Liyan’s, she wondered if Pei Liyan was aware of it.

"Oh, then congratulations to big sister," Qiao Rui said, followed by a slight nod as she walked on.

"Where are you going?" Qiao Xiang found it odd.

"I have to run an errand," Qiao Rui naturally wouldn’t tell Qiao Xiang where she was headed.

Qiao Xiang watched her leave, not prying any further, and continued her run forward.

She had already investigated and knew that Pei Liyan had a routine of jogging in the morning.

Her motivation today was, of course, to create a chance encounter.

After Qiao Rui left the residential area, a black car waited in a concealed place.

She got in and went straight to the apartment near the pedestrian street to change her outfit.

At six twenty, she carried a suitcase, a backpack, and wore a cap with her hair tied in a ponytail coming out from the back of the cap—very neat.

Qiao Rui chose a black and white color scheme, a tight-fitting camisole paired with a loose-fitting coat, which was quite stylish.

The classic black and white ensemble could create a cool and sexy look, and with the girlie design of the coat, it really highlighted the youthful charm.

With such an appearance, Song Muyu laughed.

"Hey, in the end, it’s all about the face," Song Muyu exclaimed, "If the face isn’t pretty, dressing up won’t look good. You shouldn’t disguise yourself as ugly."

Qiao Rui was unconcerned. "Being ugly is convenient."

"If you’re ugly to a certain extent, you’ll still get noticed, though."

"At least I feel quite good now," Qiao Rui smiled.

The two of them set off together and arrived at Huo Sinan’s.

Little Xingxing was still in his dreamland when Huo Sinan pulled him up to get in the car.

Fortunately, he had prepared a nanny van, which was very convenient.

On the way, Little Xingxing and the nanny took another car because Little Xingxing was still sleeping, and Qiao Rui was worried about disturbing him, so she and Song Muyu rode with Huo Sinan in one car.

"We’ll just travel as we go. It’s a seven to eight-hour drive. How about we have breakfast in Lin City?" Huo Sinan suggested.

"Hmm, that works," Song Muyu nodded.

"I happen to have a friend in Lin City who’s joining us," Huo Sinan said. "You guys don’t mind, right?"

Song Muyu replied, "Are you trying to gather a table for Mahjong?"

"Haha!" Huo Sinan laughed out loud. "Indeed, that’s my intention."

Song Muyu said, "I don’t mind, Ruirui, how about you?"

"It doesn’t matter to me," Qiao Rui was indifferent.

Soon, the car arrived in Lin City.

Huo Sinan’s friend Lei Ting was treating them at Lin City’s most luxurious breakfast restaurant.

Lei Ting was in his twenties, humorous, and particularly talkative, especially upon seeing that both Qiao Rui and Song Muyu were beauties.

Just as everyone had sat down, Little Xingxing woke up, and the nanny brought him upstairs.

Upon seeing Qiao Rui, Little Xingxing immediately rushed over happily: "Mommy, Mommy!"

Qiao Rui reached out to hold him and asked, "Awake now? Hungry?"

Little Xingxing nodded. "Hungry."

Huo Sinan glanced at Qiao Rui holding his son. His own child, upon arriving upstairs, spotted Qiao Rui first, paying no heed to his biological father.

Huo Sinan reflected on this with indescribable complexity in his deep gaze.

His good friend Lei Ting was also surprised and turned to Huo Sinan, lowering his voice to ask, "Is she Little Xingxing’s mom?"

Huo Sinan gave him a look but did not explain.

Thus, Lei Ting concluded that Qiao Rui and Huo Sinan were a couple who had Little Xingxing together.
