Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 18

"Did the call go through?" Ye Chenxi fiddled with his newly purchased Patek Philippe watch and asked.

"Miss Nan's side keeps saying the call is connected." The little assistant said hesitantly, "You may have already been blocked by Miss Nan."

Ye Chenxi slammed the watch heavily on the table, "She dares! Give me the phone, I'll do it myself!"

The little assistant thought to herself: She's already blocked you, how could it make a difference if someone else called? This tycoon must have something wrong with his brain! No wonder his previous assistants and secretaries either resigned or got transferred!

She thought this as she handed the phone to Ye Chenxi.

Ye Chenxi called Nan Yue again, and the cold female voice in the phone said: "The user you dialed is currently in a call, please redial later...

After trying several times unsuccessfully, Ye Chenxi threw the phone in anger!

"Nan Yue!!" He gnashed his teeth and said, "Everyone looks down on me, everyone leaves me, I'll see how long you guys can remain so arrogant!"

The little assistant stammered: "Mr. Ye, I just saw a photo of Miss Nan, she seemed to be...kissing someone else in it, do you want to take a look?"

Ye Chenxi immediately turned to look at the little assistant, the ferocity in his eyes frightened her into shuddering.

The little assistant cried inwardly, what's the big deal, it wasn't even her in the photo, why glare at her!

But she endured it silently.

"Give it to me!"

Ye Chenxi snatched the little assistant's phone, and saw Nan Yue leaning down in the photo, actively kissing another woman.

Looking closely, it was a woman!

The camera was aimed at Nan Yue, so the other person's face couldn't be seen clearly, but he felt the outline was somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't recall who it was for now.

Ye Chenxi was so angry he wanted to smash the phone again, but was urgently stopped by the little assistant: "Mr. Ye, that's mine..."

Before she finished speaking, the phone had already met the ground with a bang!

The little assistant painfully clutched her chest, oh! When will these tyrannical bosses stop smashing things? Don't they have money for phones?

She was still lamenting, when she heard Ye Chenxi's voice again: "Investigate! Go find out who the woman in the photo is!"

"3, 2, 1..."

As Qin Zhao's voice fell, Nan Yue opened her eyes.

A golden light appeared before her eyes, causing her momentary dizziness. When her vision recovered, she saw the cat's eye stone lying quietly in the black box.

The golden gem given vitality by the sunlight was looking at her tranquilly, giving her originally messy mood a moment of serenity.

The crystals formed after eons, like the eyes of a sage, were watching her.

Nan Yue took the 9-carat cat's eye stone from Qin Zhao's hand, her consciousness returning to reality.

Various images flashed across her mind, and her eyes instantly moistened as a teardrop slid down...

Qin Zhao thought smugly that Nan Yue must really like this gift to be so moved to tears.

But she pretended to be at a loss and asked, "Nan Yue, what's wrong?"

Nan Yue held the box in her hand and asked carefully, "Did you do something illegal, Zhaozhao?"

What filled Nan Yue's mind then were images of Qin Zhao's dilapidated rented apartment, and Qin Zhao hustling at various underground venues for money!

She was extremely anxious!

Qin Zhao: "..."

She flicked Nan Yue on the forehead and said, "What on earth is that little head of yours thinking about all day!

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. You haven't seen me for nine days, don't you know I'm no longer the little naive girl I once was."

Nan Yue then asked with interest, "Oh? What have you become?"

Qin Zhao turned and took Nan Yue's hand as they walked forward: "I sold the copyright of my comics for several million, so I have money now."

Nan Yue was somewhat excited: "I didn't know you could draw, turns out my girlfriend is so talented!"

Qin Zhao tilted her head and smiled at Nan Yue, replying modestly: "Yes, I am."

A 9-carat cat's eye stone was worth over two million on the market. Nan Yue was worried that Qin Zhao might be short on money after buying it, and wanted to transfer money to her.

But Qin Zhao strictly rejected it, saying she would break up if Nan Yue mentioned transferring money again. Only then did Nan Yue accept it.

She felt both apprehensive and touched.

After the two calmed down, it was already past office hours in the afternoon. Qin Zhao simply took leave from Pei Fanzhi.

After walking in the park, Nan Yue sent Qin Zhao home and finally saw with her own eyes the place Qin Zhao lived now, completely believing that she was no longer the poor girl who could only afford to live in the slums.

Standing outside the estate entrance, Qin Zhao asked, "Want to come up to my place and sit for a while?"

Nan Yue really wanted to, but a message came from her manager a few minutes ago that the company needed her to handle something. So she declined, "Next time."

"Alright." Qin Zhao pointed at her own lips, "Kiss goodbye."

Nan Yue's face turned red as she swiftly pecked Qin Zhao and then fled to her car.

Watching Nan Yue's car disappear from sight, Qin Zhao headed home.

But at this moment, the system spoke up, "Host, Zhao Feibai is bringing the original body's parents, foolish fiance and his family here!

Do you want to prepare?"

"It seems Zhao Feibai has already staked out this place and confirmed I live here, that's why he brought so many people."

Worried for Qin Zhao's safety, 502 said, "Host, why don't you tell the security office not to let those people in, or call the police?"

Qin Zhao shook her head, "They can't do anything before those people actually harm me.

The security can only stop them temporarily, but I'll still have to leave the estate eventually."

502 sighed, "Why can't they just let go of the original body, poor child."

It wasn't hard to understand.

The original body's parents must have spent most of the money they got from the Sun family by now, and had to find the original body again since they couldn't return it.

And the Sun family didn't want money, no sane woman would marry an idiot. So they had no choice but to force the original body back.

Speak of the devil.

Qin Zhao had just entered the estate when she heard a middle-aged woman's voice piercing from behind, "Qin girl, come out!"

The estate had very good security. Outsiders couldn't enter without the residents' consent.

The group was blocked outside the automated gate of the estate.

Qin Zhao looked back and her gaze met Zhao Feibai's directly.

He stood behind several thuggish men, a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.

The original body's father, Qin Xiangyun, glared at her viciously.

The original body's mother, Liu Yuxia, was slapping the gate while cursing and shouting, spittle flying everywhere, her voice grating.

While the original body's foolish fiance, Sun Yaozu, had an idiotic smile on his face, drool flowing from the corners of his mouth. Seeing Qin Zhao look over, he called her: "Wifey, wifey..."

The idiot didn't know better, probably taught by his family.

Liu Yuxia didn't see any reaction from Qin Zhao after her tirade, and scolded: "Dead girl, now you've gotten arrogant, won't even call out for your parents and won't go home. Come out, see if I don't beat you to death!"

Qin Zhao expressionlessly turned her head and said to the system, "Make them shut up."
