After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Qi Mu'an promised his brother that he would only go and take a look and would absolutely not act impulsively.

Qi Muci knew that his brother wouldn't have believed Xu Weiyan's betrayal if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

To make her brother give up and end the marriage as soon as possible, Qi Muci had Peng Ze send the address to Qi Mu'an's phone.

Zhao Mengmeng drank too much juice that night, and ran out to find the restroom halfway through trying on clothes.

She happened to bump into Qi Mu'an as he ran out of the study.

But Qi Mu'an didn't stop; instead, he jogged downstairs.

Qi Muci walked out of the study and was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Mengmeng.

Zhao Mengmeng hurriedly explained, "Brother Qi, I need to go to the restroom. I'm sorry, I drank too much juice for dinner."

Qi Muci pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "You'll see it when you get to the end."

"Thank you, Brother Qi." Zhao Mengmeng ran to relieve herself. Back in the dressing room, she couldn't help but gossip, "I ran into Chairman Qi when I went to the restroom. He seemed to have run into some urgent matter and just left."

While picking out a scarf, Ding Ding said dismissively, "Maybe something happened at the company, and they need crisis management."

Zhao Mengmeng: "I don't think it's a company matter."

Qiao Ran looked at Zhao Mengmeng with interest and teased, "Mengmeng, you wouldn't actually have fallen for Chairman Qi, would you? You were so eager to flirt with him during dinner, and now you're worried about what's wrong with him."

Zhao Mengmeng's ears turned red. "Stop fooling around. Chairman Qi is a married man."

Ding Ding put down the scarf in her hand. "Speaking of Chairman Qi's wife, do you know what rumors are circulating in the company?"

The other two became interested upon hearing this and crowded around to gossip: "What rumor is it?"

Ding Ding looked mysterious. "I heard it from my colleagues. They said that Chairman Qi and his wife got together in college. Logically, their relationship should be very good, but..."

Ding Ding paused deliberately.

Zhao Mengmeng was getting impatient. "But what? Don't keep me in suspense."

Ding Ding chuckled twice, "Don't be in such a hurry. But, well, no one has ever seen Chairman Qi's wife, and Chairman Qi rarely mentions her. And while everyone else goes home to be with their families on holidays, he's working overtime at the company."

"Also, Mr. Qi's driver said that he has never seen Mr. Qi's wife when he goes to Mr. Qi's house."

Zhao Mengmeng wondered, "That's really strange. Does Chairman Qi really have a wife?"

Qiao Ran smiled faintly, "He has a wife. I saw her last night. I went to Mu Ci's parents' house for dinner last night. His sister-in-law was there too, but she left first for some reason and didn't eat with us."

Ding Ding and Zhao Mengmeng both turned to Qiao Ran.

"How is the relationship between Chairman Qi and his wife?" Zhao Mengmeng pressed.

Qiao Ran: "She looks fine, there's no problem. My mother-in-law told me that my sister-in-law is pursuing a doctorate and is quite busy."

Dingding: "Oh, I see. Then you're probably busy with your studies."

Zhao Mengmeng and Ding Ding played until 9:30 p.m. before reluctantly leaving, each taking several bags of clothes with them.

Qi Muci asked Fu Chao to take the two of them home, and then went home to rest.

He took Qiao Ran to take a bath together.

Qiao Ran tried to refuse, but Qi Muci picked her up and carried her directly to the bathroom...

Two hours later, when the two came out, Qiao Ran didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Qi Muci helped her dry off and carried her back to bed.

This man appears aloof and indifferent, as if he doesn't care about women, but who would have thought that he would be so wild behind closed doors?

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Muci crawled into the quilt and pulled the person into his arms.

Qiao Ran struggled for a moment and distanced herself from him, saying, "I want to make three rules for you."

Qi Muci smiled and glanced at her, "Okay, which three chapters?"

Qiao Ran glared at her, "It's about the number of times we do that thing. It can't be every day, and it certainly can't be several times a day."

Qi Muci's smile faded. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself. I couldn't help but think about you the moment I saw you..."

Qiao Ran was speechless. "You weren't like this before."

Qi Muci smiled, "How do you know I haven't thought about this before?"

Qiao Ran: "..."

Qiao Ran felt like she had fallen into Qi Muci's trap. "Are you saying that you've had your eye on me for a long time?"

Qi Muci: "Want to hear the truth?"

Qiao Ran: "Of course."

Qi Muci: "But I want you to find the answer yourself."

Qiao Ran: "Where am I supposed to find the answer?"

Qi Muci pulled her into his arms again. "Observe slowly, and you'll know in time. Okay, didn't you say you were tired? It's getting late, go to sleep. I promise I won't bother you again tonight."

Qiao Ran: "I'm not talking about tonight, but also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Qi Muci: "Then I can't guarantee that."

Qiao Ran: "..."

Qiao Ran was really tired. She felt sleepy as soon as she closed her eyes and was drifting off to sleep when she was suddenly woken up by her phone ringing.

Qi Muci quickly answered the phone, "Peng Ze, you better have something that's a matter of life and death, or I'll twist your head off."

“Brother Qi, this is indeed a matter of life and death. It was Chairman Qi who hit Yu Mao,” Peng Ze said urgently.

Qi Muci couldn't remember for a moment, "Who did you hit?"

Peng Ze: "Yu Mao is the painter your sister-in-law had an affair with. Your sister-in-law called the police, and I just arrived at the Dongcheng branch."

Qi Muci: "Send me the address, I'm coming over now."

Qiao Ran had regained consciousness and heard Peng Ze's words on the phone clearly. She got up as well and said, "I'll go too."

Qi Muci was worried that she would overwork herself, so he said, "Be good, you rest well at home, I can go by myself."

Qiao Ran jumped off the bed first, "I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me."

Qi Muci had no choice but to take her with him, and the two drove to the Dongcheng Branch.

On the way, Qi Muci told Qiao Ran about what Peng Ze had found out, and blamed himself for letting his brother go to find them alone.

Qi Muci: "I should have asked Peng Ze to go with him, but considering that this is a shameful matter, and I was afraid that my elder brother would lose face. My elder brother has always been very rational, I really didn't expect him to take action."

Qiao Ran gently patted Qi Muci's shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, let's find out what's going on when we get to the police station. I understand how you feel, brother."

Qi Muci suddenly remembered Lin Mengchuan's betrayal of Qiao Ran and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry."

Qiao Ran smiled slightly, "Why should I apologize? You haven't done anything to wrong me. I'm better than my older brother. I have no feelings for Lin Mengchuan, so I can leave decisively."

Qi Muci felt a slight stirring in his heart after hearing this, and he reached out and took her hand in his.

Qiao Ran paused for a moment, then covered Qi Muci's hand with her other hand.

It took the two of them half an hour to get to the police station.

Peng Ze was already waiting at the door.

Qi Muci took two black masks, and he and Qiao Ran each put one on before getting out of the car.

Peng Ze led them to the director's office, where Qi Mu'an, Xu Weiyan, and the man named Yu Mao were also present.

When Qiao Ran entered the room, she saw Xu Weiyan sitting next to Yu Mao.

Yu Mao had some bruises around his eyes.

Qiao Ran felt that Qi Mu'an had gone too far.

When Xu Weiyan saw Qi Muci and Qiao Ran arrive, she turned and glared at Qi Mu'an, "Do you want to bring your whole family here to laugh at me?"

Qi Mu'an remained silent.

Qi Muci paused for a moment, then asked Xu Weiyan, "Are you afraid of being laughed at?"
