Three years after our breakup, my ex-boyfriend dragged me to get our marriage certificate.

Lin Qingyi had just undergone surgery and hadn't even had a proper rest.

Qiao Suining led me around the hotel. The mansion-style resort hotel was huge, with seven courtyards and seven exits, completely replicating the layout of an ancient royal palace.

She dared not make any big movements, for fear that the surgery would be in vain.

"Qingyi, are you tired?"

Qiao Suining held Lin Qingyi's arm the whole time, as if she were treating a long-lost sister.

"Yeah, I'm a little tired." Lin Qingyi forced a smile.

She felt very uncomfortable; the closer Qiao Suining got to her, the more guilty she felt.

The hotel butler came to report on the upcoming itinerary.

The racecourse they had booked in advance was already waiting for them.

"You guys go have fun." Qiao Suining thought for a moment, "I'll go back and rest with Qingyi first. When you come back, we'll go to the hot springs together."

"You don't need to come with me, I can manage on my own." Lin Qingyi quickly waved her hand, "You finally get to go out and have some fun, you should go ahead..."

"How can this be?" Qiao Suining said reproachfully.

Qiao Suining asked the housekeeper to rearrange the rooms so that she could stay next to Lin Qingyi.

"Huh?" Qiao Suining glanced at the butler's tablet, then at He Zhixu: "You came alone and booked a double room?"

Ji Yuhuai and Lin Qingyi are sharing a double room. What is He Zhixu doing?

So, He Zhixu also plans to bring the woman he keeps outside over?

Qiao Suining felt unlucky, and suddenly felt like she was superfluous.

He Zhixu's Adam's apple bobbed, but before he could explain, he heard Qiao Suining continue.

"No need to make excuses."

Qiao Suining's smile vanished completely. "I have no interest in dealing with the woman you're keeping. Your mother will take care of her."

But you'd better not bring anyone who's an eyesore to me.

Lin Qingyi bit her lip and subconsciously took a step back.

Previously, Qiao Suining always seemed to be smiling, like a gentle older sister, without any airs.

But a beast is a beast; when she unleashes her power, the intimidation and fear she evokes are immense.

Lin Qingyi's back was already covered in cold sweat.

He Zhixu wasn't much better off; he didn't even dare to glance at her.

On the contrary, Ji Yuhuai was tilting his head slightly, looking at her with a half-smile.

Lin Qingyi's anger flared up instantly.

"You guys chat, I'm going back now."

Lin Qingyi left a message and hurriedly returned to her room.

Qiao Suining was stunned.

She seems to have said something wrong.

Why would she mention a woman she keeps outside the home in front of Lin Qingyi?

Isn't this blatantly stabbing Lin Qingyi in the heart?

Qiao Suining was almost crying from the stupidity of her own loose tongue.

She went back to her room, thought about it for a while, then took two bottles of wine and went to find Lin Qingyi to apologize.

Lin Qingyi was frantically dialing Ji Yuhuai's number.

But no one answered.

Lin Qingyi thought that Ji Yuhuai had come to retaliate against her on purpose.

Hearing the knock, she assumed it was Ji Yuhuai coming to provoke her, so she opened the door immediately.

"How dare you show your face here..."

"Qingyi..." Qiao Suining's eyes instantly reddened. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing earlier. I didn't mean to say it in front of you..."

Lin Qingyi quickly apologized, "I didn't know it was you knocking on the door."

"I understand, I understand." Qiao Suining felt that Lin Qingyi definitely wanted to vent her anger on Ji Yuhuai.

After all, if Ji Yuhuai hadn't been two-timing, Lin Qingyi wouldn't have been in such a predicament.

The two chatted for a while, and the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Qiao Suining insisted on making it up to Lin Qingyi, so she ordered several bags from a luxury store saleswoman and asked them to deliver them to the hotel the next day.

Lin Qingyi was a little worried. It wasn't that she couldn't find an excuse to refuse the bag, but that she didn't want to go to the hot spring with Qiao Suining.

It's best to keep it dry after surgery.

She had just opened her mouth to refuse when there was another knock on the door.

Lin Qingyi's heart was in her throat.

If it were He Zhixu who arrived at this time, things would be quite interesting...

Just as Lin Qingyi was about to get up, Qiao Suining went to open the door first.

"Miss Qiao."

Ji Yuhuai's voice remained calm.

But this instantly put Lin Qingyi at ease.

Lin Qingyi walked to the door, and Ji Yuhuai looked her up and down before saying, "Sister-in-law."

Qiao Suining glanced at Ji Yuhuai, then at Lin Qingyi.

She thought she had misheard, but the truth was that Ji Yuhuai called Lin Qingyi "sister-in-law"!

"Why do you call her sister-in-law?" Qiao Suining asked, puzzled.

Lin Qingyi appears to be still standing there, but she has actually been dead for some time.

"You'll have to ask her about that." Ji Yuhuai's gaze remained fixed on Lin Qingyi.

Lin Qingyi gritted her teeth and forcefully burrowed into Ji Yuhuai's arms, stepping directly onto his feet with her shoes.

"Ah Huai... Miss Qiao is still here, don't make lewd jokes."

Lin Qingyi pretended to be shy and hid in his arms, but actually pinched his little bean hard.

Ji Yuhuai took a breath, looked down helplessly at the person in his arms, and bit her earlobe as if punishing her, "Anyway, Miss Qiao won't understand, so what are you afraid of?"

"I understand." Qiao Suining blushed, turned around and walked out. "I'm going back to my room..."

The couple flirted and teased each other without any regard for the occasion.

Qiao Suining's heart pounded faster and faster as she recalled the kiss from that night...

She was completely exhausted and went to take a shower as soon as she got back to her room.

Lin Qingyi pulled him into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Ji Yuhuai!" Lin Qingyi bit his shoulder hard. "If I die, you won't have an easy time either!"

Ji Yuhuai neither dodged nor resisted, letting her bite him again and again.

Seeing her trembling all over, his smile deepened. "You're scared too?"

Lin Qingyi gritted her teeth, "You're so despicable, how can I not be afraid?"

"..." Ji Yuhuai frowned.

"Don't think I don't know. Qiao Suining's arrival was your doing, wasn't it?"

Lin Qingyi stared at him. "Using Qiao Suining to deal with me, Ji Yuhuai. If you want to play dirty tricks on me, I can play along. Just don't regret it."

"Is that what you think?" Ji Yuhuai's eyes instantly turned cold.

"You hate me and want to avenge Jiang Wenxi, wouldn't it be more satisfying to slap me?"

"I hate you, I wish I could strangle you." Ji Yuhuai laughed self-deprecatingly, "But Lin Qingyi, death would be too easy for you."

"So?" Lin Qingyi looked at him.

"I want you to take responsibility for me from now on and meet my physical needs."

Ji Yuhuai remained unfazed.

"Thirty million." Lin Qingyi thought for a moment; she had followed He Zhixu for money.

Now that it's not easy for her to stay by He Zhixu's side, she might as well have some fun with Ji Yuhuai.

"I work part-time and usually spend time with He Zhixu, but that won't stop me from visiting you."

"Lin Qingyi." Ji Yuhuai suddenly lowered his eyes, probably afraid that if he looked at her any longer, he would strangle her. "Look in the mirror and see if you're worth that much?"

"If you don't have money, why are you pretending to be so rich?" Lin Qingyi pointed at his chest. "I knew you didn't have money, but I didn't expect you to be so tasteless lately, belittling me just to bargain."

Lin Qingyi mimicked his gestures and expressions, drawing out her words teasingly, "Do you even deserve that price?"
