Chapter 70: A Kiss

This development finally convinced Qiao Jiuyin that Qiao Jiusheng knew about the conspiracy behind the accident.

Qiao Jiuyin had taken away everything that belonged to Qiao Jiusheng. Now, Qiao Jiusheng had finally returned, and her actions today were a declaration of war.

Qiao Jiuyin looked at the piece of paper and thought that Qiao Jiusheng might secretly make contact with Fang Mu. The color of blood from her face drained inch by inch. Perhaps because she was frightened, Qiao Jiuyin’s abdomen started to throb again. She touched her stomach and tried to stabilize her emotions before driving home.

After bidding farewell to Wei Shuyi, Qiao Jiusheng strolled outside alone for a while. When she returned, it was night.

She took a taxi home, and the car only sent her to the Fang family’s entrance. Qiao Jiusheng entered the Fang family’s house and walked home alone. She passed by the main house all the way. From afar, she realized that the servants in the main house seemed to look at her with disdain and complicated emotions.

This puzzled her. What evil have I done?

Carrying her stomach full of fog, Qiao Jiusheng returned to Fang Yusheng’s house.

The moment she entered the hall, she noticed something unusual.

Dishes were placed on the table. Aunt Jin was playing with her phone in the kitchen alone. Qi Bufan was nowhere to be seen, and Fang Yusheng was not in the living room. Instead, a hint of sandalwood fragrance was coming from the meditation room.

Qiao Jiusheng looked at Aunt Jin and asked, “Is Yusheng in the meditation room?”

Aunt Jin looked up at her with a similarly complicated expression.

Qiao Jiusheng could not read Aun Jin’s eyes.

“Young Master Yusheng is in the meditation room.” After saying that, Aunt Jin hesitated for a moment and added, “He has been in there for the entire afternoon.”

Qiao Jiusheng nodded and walked to the entrance of the meditation room.

She knocked on the wooden door of the meditation room and softly asked, “Fang Yusheng, are you inside?”

No sound came from inside.

If not for the smell of sandalwood, Qiao Jiusheng would have thought that the room was empty.

Without waiting for a reply, Qiao Jiusheng said, “I’m coming in.” She boldly pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

A small fake mountain and fountain were set up in the meditation room at some point in time. Water dripped from the top of the fake mountain, letting out gurgling sounds. The orchid plant on the table stood still. Fang Yusheng knelt behind the wooden table with a brush in his hand. He closed his eyes and slowly picked the scriptures.

Even when he heard Qiao Jiusheng enter, he did not look up. His actions were still the same.

Qiao Jiusheng stared at his handsome profile for a moment and could not help but laugh. “I haven’t seen you copy scriptures in a long time. Why did you suddenly copy them today?”

Qiao Jiusheng sat down beside Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng remained silent.

“Don’t you feel bored staying in there the entire afternoon?” Qiao Jiusheng persistently asked him, acting as if she would not stop until he spoke.

Fang Yusheng’s writing speed slowed down. Qiao Jiusheng noticed it and took a look at the scripture book he had copied. She realized that the words he had just written were wrong. “You weren’t focused. You wrote the wrong words.”

Fang Yusheng paused and continued.

Seeing that he continued acting like a monk in meditation, Qiao Jiusheng felt bored. She muttered, “Boring! You’re such a boring person. Which woman can stand you?”

These words suddenly angered Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng let go of the pen in his hand. He suddenly turned his head. Even though he could not see her, he could hold her hand accurately.

Holding her wrist, Fang Yusheng pulled her in front of him. The two of them were very close. He said, “I’m boring? I’m boring? Is that why you want to go out and seduce men?” His voice contained anger and sounded self-deprecating.

Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.

“W-What nonsense are you talking about?” Her wrist hurt because of Fang Yusheng’s forceful grip. She was a little angry, aggrieved, and confused.

When did I seduce a man?

“Ah Sheng, from the day you provoked me, your life, your people, and even your soul after you die are all mine,” Fang Yusheng said in a sharp tone. His words were filled with warning and possession.

Afraid that he would do something even worse, Fang Yusheng suddenly let go of Qiao Jiusheng’s hand. He got up to walk out of the meditation room.

Qiao Jiusheng regained her senses and quickly stood up. She calmly said to Fang Yusheng’s back, “Fang Yusheng, don’t forget that our marriage is only a collaboration. It’s my freedom to meet and hook up with whoever I want. I don’t care who you want to love or hide in your heart. The two of us are just a cooperative couple. Have you forgotten?”

Fang Yusheng did not know which sentence had angered him, but he, who had walked to the door, suddenly turned around.

His eyes opened. Although they were lifeless, they contained a dark expression. He stood quietly at the same spot for a while. Just as Qiao Jiusheng felt uneasy, Fang Yusheng suddenly strode toward her.

When he reached her, he suddenly raised his hand.

Qiao Jiusheng thought that he was going to hit her, but Fang Yusheng held her head with both hands and quickly lowered his head.

He kissed her!

When Qiao Jiusheng recovered from her shock, she suddenly pushed him away.

Pa!

A slap landed on Fang Yusheng’s perfect and handsome face.

“You’re crazy!” The furious Qiao Jiusheng forcefully wiped her mouth.

Fang Yusheng’s face turned hot. He pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment. Then, he said, “From now on, let’s take out one word from ‘cooperative couple.’”

Instead of “cooperative couple,” remove the “cooperative” and be left with “couple.”
