Chapter 223: 226 Deny Request_1

Su Yueze’s initially fervent expression towards Lin Xiangwan started to turn distressed, and his clean forehead began to crease. "Sister, you’re not really putting me in such a difficult spot, are you? It’s you I like, not someone else!"

"Who said he was someone else, he is my younger brother!" Lin Xiangwan especially despised the term ’someone else’. "We are the closest!" Closer than she was to Su Yueze, closer than she was to Qin Muchuan.

Thinking of Qin Muchuan’s indifference, Lin Xiangwan’s heart sank.

He was too cold-hearted, wasn’t he? If he truly considered her as his wife, could he just ignore her like this?

This situation didn’t violate any laws, nor was it asking him to interfere with judicial justice, nor was it asking him to break the law knowingly.

What couldn’t he compromise on his principles? What principles had been compromised on by her?

"Close? You don’t share any blood relationship..." Su Yueze dismissed, "I think we’re closer, at least I have been your boyfriend!"

Lin Xiangwan spoke, her eyes slightly reddened, "So what if there’s no blood relationship? I’m an orphan and had no blood ties with anyone to begin with. When she was very young, she identified him as my younger brother! Su Yueze, to be honest, can you help me? I would really appreciate it!"

Through her blurred tears, Su Yueze really wanted to agree. But the thought of getting involved in this messy situation...

"Then, can you divorce Qin Muchuan and marry me?" He shamelessly asked in response.

The anticipation in Lin Xiangwan’s eyes instantly transformed into coldness. "I understand!"

Having said that, she didn’t utter a word more and headed upstairs!

Su Yueze suddenly had the urge to punch himself. Why did he have to reject her? His happiness couldn’t come from seeing her upset, could it?

Lin Xiangwan, who had been in a state of joy and bliss lately, suddenly found happiness abandoning her.

Turns out everything was fake, he really didn’t value her at all. All of it was just a moment of passion, she had been overthinking things. There was no emotional connection, it was only sex!

Qin Muchuan came out of his study just in time to see her climbing up the stairs.

He saw the sorrow in her eyes.

Lin Xiangwan ignored him completely and expressionlessly walked into her room.

Qin Muchuan knew she was mad at him, unhappy with him. But everyone had their own principles. He really didn’t want to break his!

Without uttering a word or showing any facial expression, Lin Xiangwan calmly went to take a bath, and then climbed into bed.

She turned out the lights on her side, covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Qin Muchuan also slipped into the blanket. As always, he reached out to touch her.

Lin Xiangwan pushed away his hand and turned over to lie on her side.

"Just because I rejected you, are you rejecting me?" Qin Muchuan asked discontentedly.

"I’m on my period, we can’t do it right now!" Lin Xiangwan said.

"Period? Doesn’t seem like the timing is right?" Qin Muchuan asked, confused.

Lin Xiangwan, with her eyes closed, said, "This... sometimes it comes early!"

"Isn’t it too early?"

"You never know!" Her tone was listless.

Qin Muchuan’s face darkened. Everything should be looked at separately. He only rejected her request. He didn’t do anything wrong. Why was she giving him the cold shoulder?

"Alright, you rest well then!" Losing interest, Qin Muchuan turned off the light.

The room was pitch black, with both occupants lying on the same bed, lost in their own thoughts.

Qin Muchuan sneered at himself internally. Turns out he, as a husband, was even worse than a stranger!

.........

The next morning, having run out of other options, Lin Xiangwan called Shen Hanqian for help, asking if she could investigate who Ji Sen had offended.

After all, Qianqian’s family was based in Jiangcheng, and they had many rich and influential relatives. They could possibly lend a hand with this matter, right?

As expected, Shen Hanqian called that afternoon. "Wanwan, I heard from my nephew that Ji Sen has offended a city mayor’s son, who now wants him dead!"

"I knew it had to be someone setting him up!"

"And, I took the opportunity to ask the court staff, they said they still don’t have conclusive evidence to prove Ji Sen was involved in drug trafficking. That’s why they haven’t filed charges against him yet. Ji Sen is very determined, he has not confessed yet!"

"If that’s the case, why can’t they release him?" Lin Xiangwan asked anxiously.

"Release him? The mayor’s son wouldn’t allow it!"

"Is Ji Sen in danger in there, could someone try to kill him at any time?" Lin Xiangwan became even more worried!

"Don’t panic, probably not. If there was any danger, with so much time passed, someone would have made a move by now. Someone must be trying to protect him."

"Then what about the toothbrush that was stuffed into his lungs? Wasn’t that trying to kill him?"

"Ah..." Shen Hanqian was at a loss for words. "Ji Sen’s case involves some powerful people, and there’s nothing even my family can do. My uncle is just a small, county-level leader!"

"What about the people around you, is there anyone who could help?" Lin Xiangwan asked embarrassingly.

"The people around me..." Shen Hanqian heard her hesitance and replied in a low tone, "Wanwan, I wouldn’t deliberately refuse to help. That man indeed has a powerful background, but he and I have broken up! We really don’t have any contact anymore. If I went to him...I’m afraid I might lose control again!"

"What happened?"

Shen Hanqian sniffled, "We broke up. Qiao Junnan swore he would never get involved with other women again, he pleaded with me. You know he almost lost his life for me back then. He begged me to give him another chance! I...I couldn’t reject him, so I split up with that man!"

"You’re in a lot of pain!"

"Yes... I think missing out on him will be the biggest regret of my life!"). But Qiao Junnan and I are husband and wife, and if he wants to turn back, is genuine about it, I think I should give him this chance! I feel a responsibility towards our marriage. I’ll give him one last chance. If he makes another mistake, I’ll divorce him!"

"OK!" While the way to save Ji Sen had been blocked, Lin Xiangwan was quite distressed but also wished her friend well!

"I’m sorry, Wanwan, but I’ll do my best to help you and see if there’s anyone else who can help you!"

"Thank you!"

"Actually..." Shen Hanqian trailed off, "You really should start with Qin Muchuan. His family is very powerful. It could be resolved with just a single word from him!"

Lin Xiangwan’s heart sank even more, her eyes reddened with anger. "It’s useless, in his eyes, I’m just the mother of his child, nothing else!"

"This man is really too heartless!"
