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

Lin Qingyi closed her eyes, waiting to be humiliated by everyone.

"She's mine, not some mistress."

Ji Yuhuai's voice fell on Lin Qingyi's head, making her dizzy and even causing her to hallucinate.

"Lin Qingyi is mine."

Ji Yuhuai repeated it again, but Lin Qingyi still kept her head down.

She didn't even say thank you?

"Ah Huai, don't get involved and cause trouble." He Jianfeng frowned, clearly not believing him.

"We all know about your affair with that intern doctor," Mother He said, her voice filled with suspicion. "How did you get involved with this woman again?"

"You don't believe me?" Ji Yuhuai asked calmly, glancing at everyone in the room.

The next second, he reached out and pulled Lin Qingyi into his arms.

Before she could react, her cheeks were gripped by a pair of large hands.

She was forced to look the man in front of her in the eye, but she saw no mockery or smugness in his eyes.

The next second, he kissed her lips forcefully.

Everyone present was astonished!

Lin Qingyi's mind went blank, and the familiar scent of cedar ink instantly overwhelmed her.

She was terrified and quickly pushed him away.

Interrupted, Ji Yuhuai was somewhat unsatisfied. He frowned and asked, "Uncle, do you believe me now?"

Startled by the kiss, He Jianfeng blushed and quickly turned away, refusing to look again.

The He family had been law-abiding for generations, and the couple respected each other at home.

Ji Yuhuai, as the nephew of the He family, has none of the He family's rules.

Now they dare to do such a shameless thing in front of so many people.

He Jianfeng suspected that if he continued to say he didn't believe it, Ji Yuhuai, that brat, would dare to do even more outrageous things to prove it!

However, the person who was most shocked was He Zhixu.

He originally thought that Ji Yuhuai might hug Lin Qingyi or hold her hand in order to convince his family.

How could they... actually kiss? And he even stuck out his tongue!

He Zhixu roared inwardly, his face turning deathly pale.

How could he stick his tongue out!

"Ah Huai, if your grandpa sees you acting like this, he'll definitely beat you up."

He Jianfeng narrowed his eyes slowly, offering a reminder.

"If my maternal grandfather saw this, he wouldn't beat me up; he would even prepare a dowry for me."

Ji Yuhuai took Lin Qingyi's hand and intertwined their fingers. "Should I inform Grandpa?"

He Jianfeng paused, a thought flashing through his mind.

The only marriage partner that could satisfy the old man like Ji Yuhuai is definitely the young lady from the Lin family.

He looked incredulously at the figure at the door and asked his sister for confirmation.

"Mm." He Ling nodded.

Ji Yuhuai's own mother nodded, confirming the woman's identity.

He Jianfeng's hands trembled with excitement. "Her name is Qingyi? She's Lin Huaimin's daughter?"

"Mmm." He Ling walked over and affectionately took Lin Qingyi's other hand.

She looked at Lin Qingyi with an incredulous surprise in her eyes.

She knew Lin Qingyi was resourceful, but she never expected that in just a few days, Lin Qingyi would have seduced Ah Huai so completely.

It seems that she didn't waste her ten million.

He Zhixu was a little confused about the situation, and he frantically winked at Ji Yuhuai, wanting an explanation.

Ji Yuhuai gave a cold sneer and looked away.

He reached out and took Lin Qingyi's hand, which was being held by his mother, into his own palm.

"Your commotion just now scared her."

Ji Yuhuai spoke calmly, and before anyone else could react, he bent down, picked up Lin Qingyi, and carried her outside.

"Where's the rest room? I'll take her there to rest."

These words were said to Qiao Suining.

Today's banquet is hosted by the Qiao family.

It was ostensibly a farewell banquet for Qiao Suining, but in reality, it was a special event to deal with He Zhixu's "mistress."

"It's on the third floor." Qiao Suining walked towards Lin Qingyi, wanting to accompany her to rest.

But considering that I hadn't taken care of my important business yet, I had no choice but to stay here.

Ji Yuhuai nodded and carried her to the sofa in the lounge.

There was no one else in the room, and Ji Yuhuai was too lazy to continue the act, so he casually tossed her onto the sofa.

He took a half step back, his back to the light source, his tall figure exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

Lin Qingyi sat there blankly in his shadow.

Ji Yuhuai frowned, a nameless anger rising within him.

"Aren't you supposed to be pretty brave? This little thing has scared you like this?"

Ji Yuhuai snorted coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Lin Qingyi neither refuted nor retorted; she was still somewhat shaken.

"Speak." Ji Yuhuai was a little impatient; he wasn't used to Lin Qingyi being so quiet.

"I'm scared."

Lin Qingyi looked up at him, her eyes filled with fear. "I'm afraid of that kiss."

"What?" Ji Yuhuai raised an eyebrow. "Afraid of a reaction?"

"I'm afraid Mr. He might actually think there's something between us..."

Lin Qingyi sniffed, but her words were piercing: "In that case, I will never be able to be with him again."

The air froze in that instant.

The mockery on Ji Yuhuai's face shattered instantly, replaced by a furious rage that seemed to devour everything.

He stared intently at Lin Qingyi, as if looking at a hopeless idiot.

"Lin Qingyi".

Ji Yuhuai gritted his teeth, then suddenly leaned down, wishing he could devour her alive. "He just pushed you out!"

"So what? He gave me money, a lot of money."

Lin Qingyi pouted, "I'm willing to take the blame for him."

"Didn't I give you money?" Ji Yuhuai felt a surge of resentment. "You know how to be grateful to He Zhixu."

Why is it that when it comes to me, they don't even ask me a single question?

Lin Qingyi, do you even have a heart?

Lin Qingyi choked.

"You have a heart, you have a heart for everyone, but you're heartless towards me."

Ji Yuhuai slammed the door and left.

Lin Qingyi has been reflecting on this.

Why did Ji Yuhuai look at her with such utter disappointment?

Why do you say she's heartless towards him?

He was the one who rejected her first.

She is not allowed to return to Beicheng, nor is she allowed to go to the Ji family.

It was also his deliberate scheme to get her involved with He Zhixu.

How come in his mouth she became that heartless person?

Lin Qingyi stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Inside the private room.

"Ningning, you see, this is just a misunderstanding."

He Jianfeng and his wife kept explaining to Qiao Suining.

"Ah Xu helped Ah Huai take care of Qing Yi, which is why outsiders misunderstood."

"Yes, Ah Xu is very timid; he would never dare to do anything reckless."

Qiao Suining had prepared many excuses for announcing the engagement.

However, all of this is based on the premise that He Zhixu adopts a mistress.

Now that He Zhixu has transformed himself into someone who would go to great lengths for his brothers, he has been misunderstood.

Her excuse for breaking off the engagement was no longer valid.

Is that really the case?

She glanced at He Zhixu. "I'm not that easy to fool."

He Zhixu's face was completely drained of color.

"Of course, I won't wrongly accuse or misunderstand anyone."

So I will have someone investigate.

Let's see if I'll clear your name then, or if you'll give me a surprise.
