Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Fire Went Viral

Qiao Yi regretted it, she really did.

Having lived for over twenty years, never had she felt such regret.

"I’ll go back with you this afternoon."

Qiao Yi stared blankly at the ceiling overhead; Lu Yanchuan’s hand on her waist mischievously moved a bit, and Qiao Yi promptly snapped back to her senses.

"No! I’m not going back!"

Her hoarse voice recounted the ordeal she suffered yesterday, some beast surnamed Lu, out of sheer jealousy, made her yell "husband" all night long.

It was truly heart-wrenching and tear-inducing for those who heard, absolutely inhumane!

Right now, Qiao Yi really wanted to kick Lu Yanchuan off the bed to demonstrate her anger, but her legs were weak, and after he massaged her leg a couple of times, she started whining for him to continue.

When did this man acquire such massage skills! It feels so good...

By the time Qiao Yi finally got out of bed, it was already past two in the afternoon, and her phone had a ton of missed calls.

Qiao Yi flipped through them, from Feng Siyu to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, about twenty missed calls. She picked a few important ones to respond to with messages and then tossed the phone aside again.

This episode of the program was now recorded, and Qiao Yi didn’t need to stay here any longer. After rolling around in bed a few times, she reluctantly got up to pack her things to go back home.

"Beep beep beep—"

Without guessing, Qiao Yi knew who was calling—it couldn’t be anyone but Feng Siyu!

Sure enough, as soon as she picked up, Feng Siyu’s voice came through.

"I..."

"I’m fine, I’m doing really well right now, do you and Gu Ting want to come to Capital City? I can take you around for a bit!"

Knowing that Feng Siyu felt guilty about yesterday’s accident, Qiao Yi didn’t really mind, since even if the accident didn’t happen on this variety show, it would have occurred sooner or later somewhere else.

There was a moment of silence from Feng Siyu’s end of the phone; it seemed he sensed something was off with Qiao Yi’s voice, and cautiously probed.

"Yiyi, your throat... I heard that it was Third Young Master who sent you back yesterday, and also heard that Third Young Master seemed quite unhappy. You didn’t have a fight with Third Young Master, did you?"

This girl must have misunderstood something; Qiao Yi’s face blushed, clutching the blanket as if she were clutching Lu Yanchuan’s head.

"We didn’t fight, we’re very good. If you’re not leaving then I won’t take you!"

Hearing that Qiao Yi was so spirited, Feng Siyu felt relieved, and the guilt in his heart also lessened a lot.

"I’m not going back. There are some segments here that need to be re-shot. After resting for two days, we’ll move to the next location for recording, so I won’t return with you."

Feng Siyu actually wanted to come and see how Qiao Yi was doing, but he really couldn’t leave the program team, so he could only call to check in.

Who would have thought that after calling all morning, Qiao Yi never picked up. Feng Siyu even thought something might have happened to the Handsome Imperial Doctor.

"Alright, alright, make it a quick trip!"

Qiao Yi hung up the phone with an impatient tone.

After hanging up, the smile that was just on her face suddenly turned into disappointment.

Although she jested and joked with Feng Siyu just now, Qiao Yi could feel that Feng Siyu seemed to be hiding something from her.

In Qiao Yi’s opinion, this really wasn’t a big deal. She could understand the director being nervous, the guests being nervous, and even Lu Yanchuan being nervous.

But Feng Siyu was the only one―the best friend who knew her the best, who certainly knew that she wouldn’t get hurt.

However, now Feng Siyu was acting so abnormally, there was definitely a problem!

Qiao Yi didn’t want to suspect her best friend with any ill thoughts, but sometimes the truth was before your eyes, and you couldn’t help but believe it.

"I hope, Yuanyuan, you won’t let me down."

When Lu Yanchuan came in, he saw Qiao Yi sitting on the bed, holding her phone and murmuring to herself.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing, when are we leaving?"

Lu Yanchuan didn’t ask further, seeing that Qiao Yi was preoccupied. After discussing the arrangements for returning home, he talked about the results of the investigation at the show.

"We found out that there was a staff member who intentionally did not secure the safety rope when rigging you on the wire, and that wire had already met the scrapping standard, it was an old wire. The actions you executed on the wire were too intense, which led to its breaking."

"Was it Qiao Xin’s person?"

"How did you know?"

There wasn’t a hint of surprise on Qiao Yi’s face, which astonished Lu Yanchuan with her calmness.

"Who else could do such a foolish and brainless act? If it were someone else, they would have killed me directly. The only person I can think of who would want to just embarrass me rather than hurt me is Qiao Xin."

Qiao Yi believed she hadn’t offended anyone else, and aside from Qiao Xin, there weren’t many who would be so fixated on not letting her go.

As to why Qiao Yi didn’t suspect anyone else, because anyone else who might be considered her enemy would probably rather take her life directly.

"Wait until we get back, I’ll see how I deal with her!"

Qiao Yi didn’t take Qiao Xin seriously, but having a mosquito buzzing in your ear is still annoying.

Although she couldn’t smack that mosquito dead in an instant, she could certainly quiet it down for a while.

The plane Lu Yanchuan arranged was at five in the afternoon. Qiao Yi sent some food to Feng Siyu and brought lots of treats for the show crew before she and Lu Yanchuan returned to Capital City.

Although she knew Feng Siyu must be hiding something, Qiao Yi decided not to delve into it; she believed Feng Siyu would not harm her.

The flight back to Capital City would take more than two hours. Qiao Yi, feeling sleepy, was unaware that Lu Yanchuan secretly snapped a photo of her asleep and posted it online with a very domineering caption.

"My wife, mine."

Just four simple words, yet they conveyed a hint of indulgence and a touch of murderous intent.

The indulgence was intended for Qiao Yi, and the murderous intent for those online calling other people’s wives their own!

Qiao Yi had no idea how popular she had become online after just one episode of the show, but Lu Yanchuan, who had been closely following her, knew very well. Seeing those people leaving comments under Qiao Yi’s account, calling her ’wife’ and asking for kisses, Lu Yanchuan could barely control his rage!

Dare to compete with him for his wife? Death!

Once Lu Yanchuan’s post was up, Qiao Family and Lu Group’s official accounts promptly reposted it, as did various business tycoons who had been alerted by Lu Yanchuan in advance.

With just one post, the netizens truly experienced what a real dominating CEO meant.

Qiao Yi completely rose to fame, becoming the type of woman that all other women envied and were jealous of.

She was a woman with a family background, appearance, and capabilities all above par, and most importantly, although she married a man with not-so-good a reputation, but marrying a man who seemed cold and ruthless yet was gentle and considerate only towards you, wasn’t that every girl’s dream?
