Chapter 40 Go Ask Your Husband
When Xue Chenkong heard Shen Mantingâs words, he kissed her on the cheek domineeringly. âYouâre right. No matter where you hide, Iâll find you.â Shen Manting rolled her eyes at him. She had praised him too much.
âWhy are you not talking, Ah Ting?â Xue Chenkong was displeased. âYouâre right. No matter where I go, youâll always be able to get me back.â
Xue Chenkong was finally satisfied with her response. âAh Ting, youâre the best. â The next second, stable breathing sounds could be heardâ¦
Shen Manting was so angry that she laughed. She didnât know why she was laughing, but she felt an inexplicable resentment and snorted coldly.
After Qi Jingwan returned home, she started smashing things and cursed angrily over and over again, âShen Manting! What right do you have to receive Xue Chenkongâs wholehearted love?â She could not calm down when she recalled the scene she had seen at the door. Why was Xue Chenkong so different from the rumors? He was so handsome, and even his coldness when dealing with Ding Rou was so charming. The way he stood up for his lover really made her jealous to death. Why was there no one who could love and protect her so domineeringly?
Mrs. Qi heard the movement and walked in, shocked. âWhat happened to you?â.
âMom, I saw Xue Chenkong today, â Qi Jingwan quickly got up and said agitatedly. âHe⦠â She proceeded to tell her what had happened that day.
Mrs. Qiâs face became serious and she stared at her daughter. âYouâve fallen for Xue Chenkong?â
As she heard that, Qi Jingwanâs expression became shy.
Upon seeing that, Mrs. Qi immediately rebuked, âI donât care if heâs really sick or not. Iâm warning you, youâre not allowed to have any thoughts about him.â.

Qi Jingwan thought that her mother was worried about Xue Chenkongâs marriage. She immediately uttered, âThey havenât had their wedding. They just have their certificate! Besides, Shen Manting is not worthy of Xue Chenkong!â
âI donât care if thatâs the case or not!â Mrs. Qi said angrily. âYour sister is Xue Chenkongâs sister-in-law. If you have something going on with him, how are you going to let your sister gain a foothold in the Xue family? Iâm warning you, although your sister is the wife of a tycoon, her days are hard. Youâre not allowed to cause her any trouble.â It was all because of Qi Wangran that the Qi family could have what they had today. She would not let anyone hinder Qi Wangranâs status as the wife of a tycoon.
When Qi Jingwan heard that, she became even angrier. âItâs my sister again! Do I have to sacrifice my feelings for her?â.
Mrs. Qiâs face darkened completely. She raised her hand and slapped Qi Jingwan. âI think youâre crazy! Without your sister, would you have been able to enjoy your carefree life today? Without her, the Qi family would have long been trampled by the Shen family! And whatâs so good about Xue Chenkong? His eldest brother is a tycoon, and his second brother is in charge of the Xue family, but what about him? He has nothing! â After she finished speaking, Mrs. Qi walked out coldly.
Qi Jingwan covered her face, her eyes filled with hatred. Since no one was helping her, she would fight for it herself, and no one could stop her!
The next day. As soon as Shen Manting entered the office, she saw that everyone was muttering something, but when they saw her, they shut their mouths.
âWhatâs wrong? âShen Manting asked, puzzled.
No one dared to speak. In the end, Ah Qiang laughed and said, âManting, how were you and your husband last night? You didnât quarrel, did you?â
âNo, we didnât. â Shen Manting was confused.
Ah Qiang heaved a sigh of relief. âThatâs good. Ding Rou took leave today.â
Shen Manting was even more confused. What did Ding Rouâs leave of absence have to do with her? However, she didnât pay much attention to it and went back to her work.
Just as she was about to start working, she saw Qi Jingwan walk over with a fawning look on her face. She even called out affectionately, âManting. This is my apology gift to you. I shouldnât have targeted you last night. Letâs make up.â Shen Manting laughed sarcastically. âDr. Qi, is there any misunderstanding between us that you think we are on good enough terms to make up? The term âmake upâ doesnât apply to unimportant people. â The two of them had not been on good terms since they were young, and the Qi family and the Shen family were no longer in a state of contact, so how could they possibly make up?
Qi Jingwan also laughed. After all, she didnât really want to make up with Shen Manting. Besides, they could never do that. It was Shen Mantingâs fault for hogging the man she loved! âRight, Manting, do you know why Ding Rou took the day off?â.
Shen Manting ignored her and continued working.
Qi Jingwan clenched her fists in anger at Shen Mantingâs reaction. Then, she said in a serious tone, âI heard that she fell sick when she got home last night. Itâs quite serious.â
Shen Manting suddenly raised her head, her eyes cold. âWhat are you trying to say? Is it because of me?â
âYouâd better go back and ask your husband.â Qi Jingwan raised her eyebrows meaningfully.
