Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Are You Sick?

Xiao Mengyi’s words left Qin Chuan stunned.

"What did you say?"

Qin Chuan wondered if he had heard wrong.

With a delicate blush on her beautiful face, Xiao Mengyi bit her lip and said again, "I want you to marry me!"

It was not until this moment that Qin Chuan confirmed he had not misheard, and his expression instantly froze.

He did have a fondness for this woman who had saved his life, but it was just that—a fondness.

He had always wanted to find Xiao Mengyi, to repay her for saving his life, with no other intentions.

Gathering her courage, Xiao Mengyi looked directly into Qin Chuan’s eyes, her own eyes vividly red, waiting for his answer.

After a brief silence, Qin Chuan gave a bitter smile, "I don’t believe that just because of what happened that night, you fell in love with me."

Xiao Mengyi’s face regained its coldness as she said, "You just need to answer me⁠—are you willing or not?"

Qin Chuan shook his head without hesitation, "Sorry, I refuse!"

"What?"

Xiao Mengyi looked at him in surprise; as the foremost beauty of the Provincial City, her offer to marry was actually rejected.

Qin Chuan spoke seriously, "If I’m not mistaken, you want to marry me to defy the arranged marriage set by the Xiao Family, right?"

In recent times, Luo Changsheng and Sun Xiuyun had always told him about how outstanding Xiao Mengyi was and also mentioned the Xiao Family’s intention to have her marry into the Provincial City Chen Family.

It was only today that Qin Chuan realized Xiao Mengyi was the very Xiao Yi Luo Changsheng and Sun Xiuyun had been speaking of.

Clutching her reddened lips tightly, Xiao Mengyi looked at Qin Chuan with disappointment and asked, "Are you afraid of offending the Chen Family?"

Qin Chuan shook his head, his expression calm as he said, "If it were a marriage of mutual affection, I would be very willing, but if it’s a marriage for achieving a certain goal, I refuse!"

"If you just want to defy the Xiao Family’s arranged marriage, there’s no need to get married; I am willing to be your shield as your boyfriend."

"Of course, if you are willing, we can try dating; after we develop feelings, if you dare to marry, I will dare to marry you!"

Moved by Qin Chuan’s explanation, Xiao Mengyi found herself unexpectedly touched.

If it weren’t for her pregnancy, she might have married into the Chen Family for the sake of the Xiao Family, but now, she had to marry Qin Chuan.

Otherwise, once news of her pregnancy got out, not only would she gravely offend the Chen Family, she would also be scorned by everyone.

Xiao Mengyi stared intently at Qin Chuan and asked, "What if I want you to marry me right now?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback; he had already made himself very clear. Why did Xiao Mengyi still insist on marrying him?

Before Qin Chuan could respond, Xiao Mengyi took out the pregnancy test report.

She was just about to hand over the report to Qin Chuan when an untimely voice suddenly rang out, "Yo! Isn’t this the lapdog that my sister kicked away?"

At the sound of that voice, Qin Chuan’s expression immediately darkened.

The speaker was Liu Qiang, Liu Fei’s younger brother, and beside him was a familiar figure⁠—it was Liu Fei herself.

"Good thing I kicked you aside, or where would I have found such an excellent husband like Wang Song?"

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Liu Fei spoke with a mocking tone, "Today at Patriarch Song’s birthday banquet, the Song Family is going to announce Miss Song’s fiancé. Weren’t you Miss Song’s man? Why didn’t you attend?"

After saying this, she feigned sudden understanding, "I’ve got it⁠—you must have been dumped by Miss Song!"

"Trash will always be trash, only to be discarded like garbage. Unlike my husband, who was invited by the Song Family as a promising young talent."

Liu Qiang sneered, "Those invited by Patriarch Song are all big shots with a name in Jiangcheng City. Compared to my brother-in-law, he’s just trash!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Xiao Mengyi, and his eyes immediately lit up. Smiling, he stepped forward and said, "This beautiful lady, you surely haven’t known him for long, have you?"

"I have to give you a friendly reminder, he’s nothing but a good-for-nothing. Make sure you’re not deceived by him."

"By the way, my name is Liu Qiang, and my brother-in-law is the heir of the prestigious Wang Family in Jiangcheng City. If you ever need help in the future, you can look for me."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand to Xiao Mengyi with a smug, gentlemanly appearance and said with a smile, "Shall we get acquainted?"

Xiao Mengyi frowned and said with a look of disgust, "Are you sick?"

After scolding Liu Qiang, she turned to Qin Chuan, eyes red, and said, "You have to marry me!"

The smile on Liu Qiang’s face instantly froze.

Liu Fei, too, was dumbstruck for a moment.

With a look of helplessness, Qin Chuan felt like he was being coerced into marriage.

"You slut, how dare you insult my brother!"

Liu Fei became furious on the spot, "My brother taking a liking to you is an honor for you. Apologize to my brother immediately."

A cold light flashed in Qin Chuan’s eyes as he snapped, "Shut up! If you dare to be disrespectful again, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Liu Qiang took a step forward, rolling up his sleeves and glaring at Qin Chuan as he said, "Qin, who the hell are you not being polite to? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up?"

"Bang!"

The next second, Qin Chuan’s foot landed a kick on Liu Qiang’s stomach.

Accompanied by a dull thud, Liu Qiang was sent flying through the air, crashing onto the corridor floor.

Inside the spacious Western restaurant, all the customers were completely surprised.

"Ah!"

This sudden turn of events startled Liu Fei into a scream.

With a face full of anger, she said, "Qin Chuan, you’ve got some nerve. How dare you hit my brother. Believe it or not, I’ll call Wang Song right now and have him come and deal with you?"

Qin Chuan chose to ignore Liu Fei’s threat and turned to Xiao Mengyi, suggesting, "Shall we go somewhere else and talk?"

Xiao Mengyi nodded.

As they were about to leave, Liu Fei pointed at Qin Chuan and shouted angrily, "You loser, if you have the guts, don’t run. My husband will be here any moment to take care of you."

As she spoke, a familiar figure hurried into the Western restaurant.

It was none other than Wang Song!

Liu Fei’s eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly ran up, throwing herself into Wang Song’s arms, sobbing, "Husband, this loser dared to lay hands on Xiao Qiang, you must avenge him!"

Liu Qiang also climbed to his feet, his face twisted in rage, pointing at Qin Chuan and shouting, "You dared to kick me? My brother-in-law is here now, try touching me again!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Qin Chuan’s eyes as he said coldly, "As you wish!"

In a flash, Qin Chuan suddenly made his move, grabbing Liu Qiang’s fingers and twisting hard.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed.

"Ahh..."

Immediately after, a piercing shriek filled the entire Western restaurant.

Wang Song’s face darkened to its limits. He had finally caught up with Qin Chuan and hadn’t even had the chance to apologize; Liu Fei and Liu Qiang had already provoked the man.

With a venomous look at Qin Chuan, Liu Fei then threw herself into Wang Song’s arms, crying, "Husband, you have to avenge me!"

Just then, Qin Chuan’s gaze fell on Wang Song, "Are you going to stand up for them?"
