365-Day Trial Marriage With Hunk: Wife's A Little Wild - Chapter 256
Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Don’t reject what is willingly given.
“Xuan, is there any misunderstanding between us, as you know, I have never intended to hurt you…”
“Of course, you never intended to hurt me, you just wish me to disappear from your life, so that no one threatens your pursuit of the man you love. But Meng Ziqi, how could you sleep at night when you’ve risen to power over others’ suffering?”
Qin Youxuan hated such hypocrisy to the core.
The word ‘friendship’ is so sacred. Yet, in Meng Ziqi, it was utterly corrupted.
“Xuan, I know the false testimony is my fault. But I was under pressure… I couldn’t bear to upset Ye over his mother’s issue. His mother had turned into a vegetable, how could I point her out as a murderer, I just couldn’t say it.”
Meng Ziqi’s tears came rushing as she spoke.
She grasped Qin Youxuan’s arm flustered.
“So, I should be the one to suffer and be Jin Lan’s scapegoat? Or is it that you, Meng Ziqi, are so spiteful of me that you wish me gone. Who knows?” Qin Youxuan sneered.
The art of acting had become second nature to Meng Ziqi, who loved to treat life as a stage play. But not everyone enjoyed acting along with her.
Qin Youxuan yanked her hand away and left the teahouse through the glass door.
Just as she was about to hail a cab, a figure rushed towards her.
The image of being brutally shoved onto the road by Jin Lan flashed before her eyes, and Qin Youxuan recoiled swiftly.
However, Meng Ziqi grabbed hold of her hand, placing it on her face, “Xuan, I know I have wronged you, it’s my mistake. If you’re angry, you can slap me as long as it can appease your anger, I…”
“Slap”
Before Meng Ziqi could finish, Qin Youxuan swung and slapped her fiercely across the face.
The force was enough to make Meng Ziqi stagger back a few steps. Holding her face, she looked at Qin Youxuan, stunned.
“Well, isn’t it what you asked for? Didn’t you offer your face? I’m not a fool to refuse.” Qin Youxuan advanced step by step, each move seemed to crush Meng Ziqi’s heart.
Her defiant eyes were filled with iciness, and her entire aura turned cold.
A shiver ran down Meng Ziqi’s spine.
“I guess what you’re thinking. There’s no need to pretend when you’re around me, Meng Ziqi. I don’t care how you try to win Jin Chenye over, but if you’re thinking of using me as a stepping-stone again, next time it won’t be as simple as a slap!”
Qin Youxuan grabbed her wrist and yanked towards herself, “Weren’t you very eloquent? Why are you lost for words now?”
“Xuan…”
“‘Xuan’ in your mouth? You calling me by that nickname makes me sick! It’s fine to fight for your own happiness, but don’t push it too far at the expense of others’ well-being, watch your step!”
Qin Youxuan forcefully pushed her hand away, turned around, “How I wish, I had never considered you a friend.” She walked away, not looking back.
Leaving behind a stunned Meng Ziqi, she stared at the retreating figure of Qin Youxuan. It took her a long while to collect herself, still holding her face in shock…
The words she had intended to say to plead Qin Youxuan not let Dan Hanjie retaliate against the Meng family, she completely forgot.
“Butler, I’ve no appetite. Don’t bother with lunch for me, I’m going to rest.” Qin Youxuan, took off her shoes and walked into the living room.
She put her bag aside and poured herself a glass of water.
Only after downing it in one gulp, she finally felt a bit better.
Slapping someone during her period was quite demanding, her palm was still feeling numb.
