The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable

Chapter 54

Qiao Mu tilted her head as she stared at the face that had remained as handsome as it did ten years ago. She could not hold back the confusion within her as she asked, “Uncle, why did you go abroad without saying a word?”

Li Yan’s eyes slightly darkened as his cold gaze fixed on her face.

This was her first time mentioning their past ever since their reunion. Twice even, she had failed to recognize him.

Just like how they met for the first time on the cruise, the relationship between them started because he had caught her doing something wrong.

She did not mention the past, so he had not mentioned it either. There were some bad memories that he was unwilling to recall.

His gaze fixed intently on her, and he sounded like he was questioning her, “You’re only asking it now? Qiao Mu, do you even care?”

Qiao Mu clenched both hands into fists. She nervously waited for his answer, but she only got this in return.

Did she even care?

Just like what Lu Jingzhi said, she was just an insignificant child back then.

Her heart throbbed in pain as she smiled indifferently, “Just forget about it if uncle doesn’t want to talk about it. After all, it’s already in the past.”

That pair of black eyes suddenly darkened, and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. Her indifference had infuriated him beyond words.

When he left without saying goodbye back then, was she also this indifferent?

The atmosphere in the car turned glacial.

Qiao Mu lowered her head. She somewhat regretted plucking at the wrong string and ruining the atmosphere.

The man beside her suddenly got closer, and before Qiao Mu could realize what was happening, he had sealed her lips with a kiss.

Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. His kiss was overbearing and powerful, as his lips and tongue did what he wished without restraint in her mouth, and she quickly lost resistance.

The anger in Li Yan’s heart would not dissipate, as the heat swarmed up in his chest, he found it difficult to breathe.

Kissing her fiercely with all his might seemed to remedy it.

He suddenly bit her tongue in a punitive manner.

“It hurts…”

“Get out of the car!” The low and hoarse voice sounded cold.

Qiao Mu was stunned, and then only was she aware that she had already reached her university.

She bit her lips and looked at him dejectedly. She saw the coldness in his eyes and forcefully wiped her red lips before storming out of the car.

She could get out of the car if she pleased! What was the big deal?

The car sped off the instant the door slammed.

Qiao Mu stomped her foot angrily!

…..

The next day Qiao Mu woke up in a daze, only to be greeted by rumors going around the university.

Someone had taken photos of her and Han Su yesterday when they attended the banquet and photos were uploaded onto the university’s forum.

Han Su was the president of the student union, and though he had a lot of admirers, he always acted coldly toward those who confessed to him. Slowly, the number of people who were secretly in love with him increased. So naturally, the intimate photos of Qiao Mu and Han Su got the public’s attention.

Yao Shu showed the photos to Qiao Mu on her cell phone and asked expressionlessly, “Qiao Mu, what’s going on between you and Han Su?”

Qiao Mu glanced disapprovingly at the photos, “We just attended a banquet. It’s nothing. The people online are too bored.”

Yao Shu’s expression was somewhat twisted when she asked nonchalantly, “But your lips were red when you came back yesterday. What about that?”

Qiao Mu’s mood turned for the worse when she remembered what Li Yan did last night, so she simply replied, “Some bug bit my lips.”

After Qiao Mu said that, she saw that Yao Shu was standing motionless as she thought about something. Qiao Mu asked in confusion, “Young Shu, are you alright?”

Yao Shu clenched her fist tightly as she forced a smile. “Oh, I’m alright!”
