Chapter 736: 740: Gentle and affectionate, as if she is his whole world

“You dare to threaten me? Who do you think you are!” Mother Fang sneered, “The Fang family raised you after all that hardship, and yet you seduced your own foster brother, bringing that bastard, Fang Yao into this world and losing all the face of the Fang family! If it weren’t for your shameless self, maybe the old man might still be alive! You better hope that that bitch Mi Sheng honestly believes your words and breaks up with Qiao Zui, or else, I won’t spare you, you two vixens!”

After aggressively hanging up and chucking the phone aside, Mother Fang fumed.

Fang Mingzhu, sitting next to her, stared blankly at her: “So…Fang Yao’s biological mother, is my Dad’s younger sister? My aunt?”

“Don’t mention that bitch!” Mother Fang almost bit her teeth in hatred, “We already had your brother when that wretch Si Yun seduced your father and gave birth to that bastard, Fang Yao. You have no such shameless aunt!”

Fang Mingzhu stared at her: “What about Mi Sheng? Is Mi Sheng also my father’s daughter? Are Mi Sheng and Fang Yao actually full siblings?”

“None of your business!” Mother Fang bit out meanly, “All you need to know is that if Mi Sheng believes what I told Si Yun – that Qiao Zui’s parents died at the hands of her biological father – she won’t have the face to be with Qiao Zui anymore.”

“Mingzhu…” She clasped Fang Mingzhu’s hand, touching her face with the other, “Believe in Mommy. I definitely won’t let the daughter of that bitch Si Yun snatch the man you like. Qiao Zui is yours! I swear, I’ll do whatever it takes to get you married to Qiao Zui.”

Back then, she allowed Si Yun to seduce her husband.

Now, she will not let her daughter lose to Si Yun’s daughter!

“Mom!” Fang Mingzhu clung onto Mother Fang, wrapping her arms around her, “Mom, you’re the best. I must marry Brother Xiaoqiao, I must…”

The Qiao Family Villa.

After cooling down a bit, Mi Sheng made another call to Si Yun, asking her why her biological father had killed Qiao Zui’s parents.

But Si Yun refused to say anything, only saying that Qiao Zui’s parents and her biological father were all dead, the grievances were over and she didn’t want to bring up the past.

Unable to get any answers, Mi Sheng eventually hung up the phone, feeling defeated.

She had no idea how she managed to stumble out of the bathroom.

The moment she opened the door, Qiao Zui was there to greet her.

He was dressed in casual white, tall and straight as a lily or jade tree, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with laughter. When he looked at her, it was as if she was his entire world, endearment clear in his gaze.

She stared at him, her heart shattered into a million pieces and her entire body trembling in pain.

Qiao Zui noticed her discomfort, frowning slightly. He grasped her shoulders, looking down at her with a gentle voice, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

Her body cold, Mi Sheng stiffly pushed him away. With trembling fingers, she removed her ring and thrust it into his hand, her voice shaking as she said, “I…I’m sorry…I’ve thought it over, we…we’re not suitable…”

Qiao Zui was taken aback, his pupils suddenly contracting as he understood what Mi Sheng was saying. He gripped her shoulders, looking down at her desperately, “Xiao Mi, what’s wrong? Didn’t we agree? After we mourn my parents, I’ll ask Uncle to propose for us, and then we’ll get married”

“I was too impulsive just now!” Mi Sheng fought back her tears, pushing him away and heading for the door, “I’ve thought it over, I’m still young, I don’t want to get married yet, and…I think I might not love you…”

She had her back to Qiao Zui.

Each word she spoke was like a knife twisting into her heart.

She’d harbored this secret love for so long, the dream-like reality.

But…good dreams always end too soon.

Qiao Zui caught up with her, blocking her path. He grabbed her arms, looking at her helplessly, his eyes filled with confusion, panic, and loss, “Xiao Mi, did I do something wrong? Was I too impulsive earlier, not showing you proper respect? I apologize. I was wrong.”

Unable to think of anything else to say, he slapped himself, “Xiao Mi, it’s my fault. I will respect you from now on!”
