Chapter 236: Chapter 236 He’s Jealous

"How can I help her! As long as it can help Qiao Xin, I will definitely go all out!"

Qiao Yi once again marveled that kids these days are really too gullible; the eagerness and trust in Lu Chen’s eyes almost made it impossible for Qiao Yi to continue acting.

"It’s simple, work at Qiao Family’s company. I can give you a reasonable identity to be around Qiao Xin, Mr. Lu can consider this carefully."

Qiao Yi did not think that Lu Chen would refuse her; whether it was to help Qiao Xin or to have a legitimate identity to be close to Qiao Xin, Lu Chen would know what to choose if he wasn’t foolish.

Lu Chen really did not want to give up this opportunity, but he didn’t quite trust Qiao Yi.

The rumors outside were bustling, saying that the Qiao sisters did not get along; why would Qiao Yi be so kind to help Qiao Xin.

Seemingly seeing through Lu Chen’s doubts, Qiao Yi had already thought of an explanation for him.

"Although there are indeed some conflicts between me and Qiao Xin, we are still sisters after all. It does no good for me if she gets hurt, you can be completely assured."

Having his thoughts directly exposed, Lu Chen’s face flushed momentarily, but he still maintained his composure.

"I need to think this over well."

"Of course, here is my business card, Mr. Lu can think it over after going back. But there is one thing I must tell you, you do not have much time to consider, since I can know Mr. Lu’s identity, others can find it out too."

Qiao Yi pressed her business card into Lu Chen’s hand and left the coffee shop with a smile.

If everything goes as expected, it won’t be long before he comes to report to me. But what position should I give him?

As Qiao Yi expected, on the third morning, Lu Chen called her, agreeing to Qiao Yi’s invitation.

"I agree to work at Qiao Family, but you absolutely must not do anything to harm Qiao Xin!"

This naive kid probably hasn’t seen the truth yet; let alone him, even Qiao Xin here wouldn’t have the right to order Qiao Yi around.

However, Qiao Yi didn’t care, she made Lu Chen her assistant, and very kindly sent Qiao Xin Lu Chen’s employment application.

What reaction Qiao Xin will have after receiving the message is not mentioned for now; on this side, Qiao Yi had already welcomed her own trouble.

"Who exactly is this Lu Chen! Why do you care so much about him!"

Qiao Yi, held in Lu Yanchuan’s embrace, couldn’t break free and could only drag this huge human accessory around.

Lu Yanchuan’s questioning tone carried a slightly imperceptible sense of grievance; Qiao Yi hadn’t realized it at first, but by the time she noticed, Lu Yanchuan had already started to get handsy.

"Wait!"

Qiao Yi grabbed the large hand on her chest, forcefully broke free from Lu Yanchuan’s embrace, and closely observed Lu Yanchuan’s expression, her face inquiring.

"What’s been wrong with you these past two days? Why does it seem a bit off?"

What Qiao Yi left unsaid was, not only did it seem off visually, but even his actions and behavior were off.

Always clinging to her whenever he had the time, showing a possessiveness that didn’t resemble the domineering, indifferent Third Young Master!

Not right, it’s all wrong!

Under Qiao Yi’s gaze, Lu Yanchuan’s body involuntarily stiffened, subconsciously avoiding Qiao Yi’s eyes.

"There’s nothing wrong."

"No! Tell me honestly, did you do something to wrong me!"

Qiao Yi scrunched up her nose, suddenly pushed Lu Yanchuan down onto the couch, straddled his waist, and fiercely interrogated him while yanking at his collar.

"These past few days you’ve been especially nice to me, speak up, is it because you feel guilty and want to compensate me!"

Lu Yanchuan was a bit stunned, completely not expecting things to unfold this way.

"I didn’t..."

"Still trying to argue! If you haven’t done something to wrong me, why wouldn’t you let me look at your phone that day!"

Qiao Yi became more and more suspicious the more she thought about it, more convinced she was right; her eyes gradually reddened, her grip on Lu Yanchuan’s hand tightened, her expression turning fierce.

"Lu Yanchuan! If you dare betray me, be prepared to be a eunuch for the rest of your life!"

A tear fell, hitting Lu Yanchuan’s face, and only then did Lu Yanchuan realize Qiao Yi had started to cry.

"I didn’t! How could I ever betray you, do something to wrong you!"

Lu Yanchuan didn’t know whether to feel helpless or amused, feeling like he’d shot himself in the foot. He didn’t dare tease Qiao Yi any further and quickly sat up to embrace her and console her.

Qiao Yi didn’t quite understand herself, once her emotions flared, she couldn’t control them.

"Then, then why wouldn’t you let me see your phone..."

Qiao Yi sobbed uncontrollably, her tears flowing freely.

Lu Yanchuan frowned, and seeing this, Qiao Yi felt a pang in her heart, and cried even harder.

"I’d rather you just tell me you’ve fallen for someone else, than lie to me!"

"Sigh...I didn’t lie to you. There’s another reason I didn’t let you see my phone."

Seeing he wasn’t going to console her successfully, Lu Yanchuan dared not keep anything from her, hurriedly took out his phone and placed it in Qiao Yi’s hands.

Qiao Yi, with tears in her eyes and pouting lips, pushed the phone back into Lu Yanchuan’s hands.

"I..."

"There were many people on your social media calling you ’wife.’"

So what?

Qiao Yi hadn’t recovered yet when Lu Yanchuan’s face moved closer to hers.

"I don’t like them calling you wife. You are my wife."

So... all these days, Lu Yanchuan was jealous? And that’s why he acted so irrationally?

While being pushed down, Qiao Yi was still dazedly pondering, why would Lu Yanchuan be jealous of those random people online?

However, such childish behavior, cannot possibly be something Lu Yanchuan would do, right!

Lu Chen looked across at Qiao Yi, who sat with a silly smile clearly in a daze, and deeply wondered whether his decision to join the Qiao Family company was right or not.

"Cough cough!"

Lu Chen, relying on repeated fake coughs, brought Qiao Yi back to her senses, at least preventing her from zoning out any further.

"So, what exactly are my job responsibilities?"

Now that he was an employee of Qiao Family, Lu Chen naturally wanted to do his duty, especially since he was working for his wife’s family; he was even more eager to give his best.

"Oh, I’ve checked your credentials. Your university grades are good, and your skills are commendable. I have a project on hand, go coordinate with Xiao Zhang, and work on this project with him."

Unaware, Lu Chen was led away by Qiao Yi, not knowing that the project Qiao Yi had assigned him was the very one that Qiao Xin had snatched and Qiao Yi had retrieved.

Honestly, Qiao Yi had never considered herself a good person, and she was very much looking forward to seeing Qiao Xin and Lu Chen clash!
