Chapter 401
Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue came from the conference hall to the front hall.
Kala appeared in front of them. Seeing Qin Hanyue, she hurried over.
She seemed to be in a hurry. Lifting her skirt, she almost ran over in her high heels: "Mr. Qin..."
Qin Hanyue frowned, feeling physically uncomfortable, but there was only one way forward.
As Kala approached, the flashy marks on Qin Hanyue's neck made her freeze in place, her whole body cold. She couldn't believe it. Her first reaction was to look at Qiao Ying next to him, while Qiao Ying was wearing a turtleneck sweater, barely hiding anything.
Could it be that they...
Qin Hanyue didn't stop and walked straight past her.
"Mr. Qin..." Kala reached out to stop him.
Qin Hanyue avoided her like a snake or scorpion, warning: "Don't keep harming your whole family with your personal behavior."
Kala was a little stunned, still not understanding why Qin Hanyue could cheat on his fiancée, yet treated her this way.
This made the frustrated Kala fall into constant self-doubt.
"Mr. Qin, it wasn't me. That fragrance had nothing to do with me. I didn't intend to do that."
Kala caught up with Qin Hanyue and eagerly explained.
She had only listened to the advice of some aristocratic ladies while having afternoon tea. She was already unhappy and was easily instigated.
If Qin Hanyue was really faithful to his fiancée, she would have given up. But he was with her friend's fiancée. Kala felt disappointed in Qin Hanyue's pretended affection, yet also hopeful and thirsty. So much so that she even discarded her dignity.
If Qin Hanyue agreed, she would be willing to have a secret affair with him like Qiao Yin.
"I did pretend to be my father to trick you, Mr. Qin, but I really didn't intend to drug and do that. "
"I do like you, Mr. Qin, but I won't degrade myself to that extent. I just wanted to invite Mr. Qin to dinner."
Qiao Ying sat down on a chair, found a more comfortable sitting position, crossed one leg, and sat boldly. She reminded like she was watching a show: "He has a girlfriend."
She looked at Kala, puzzled: "Why do the women in your royal family like to snatch other women's men so much?"
Qin Hanyue smiled again. It would make her jealous.
It was fine if Qiao Ying didn't say this.
As if finding an outlet, Kala looked angrily at Qiao Ying. In her heart was disdain and contempt: "Aren't you the same? Besides, you also have a fiancé. "
"Duke Lin loves you so much. Don't you feel guilty at all? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Kala gritted her teeth.
Qiao Ying put her hands in her pockets and smiled: "You don't look like you're standing up for Mr. Qin's girlfriend. You look jealous of me."
Kala: "You..."
Qiao Ying shrugged: "I didn't want to either. I was also troubled. But Qin is so outstanding, handsome, and fit, I would feel unsatisfied if I didn't sleep with him. "
Qin Hanyue laughed again.
In the past, Qiao Ying would never have bothered to pay attention to the likes of Kara. But now she went on the offensive repeatedly for him. Qin Hanyue felt extremely smug and satisfied.
Qiao Ying's expression was nonchalant: "Seeing you so eager yet unable, I feel even more accomplished."
She glanced at Qin Hanyue.
Then said: "I've decided to sleep with him again tonight, right in my fiance Lin Cheng's castle. After Lin Cheng falls asleep at night, I'll sneak over quietly. That would be so thrilling."
Qin Hanyue: "......"
Although knowing that Qiao Ying was just trying to anger Kala, Qin Hanyue's mind still inevitably rippled a little.
Qiao Ying's expression was casual: "Not only is Mr. Qin very capable and strong, his skills are great too. It's a pity you won't have a chance to experience it in your life. You can only fantasize."
"Cough," Qin Hanyue lightly coughed into his fist. As a man listening to this, even he felt a little hot in the face. But the corners of his mouth were very honest and simply couldn't be suppressed.
Having received high education and learning all kinds of etiquette since childhood, Kala had never encountered such a scene before. Her face turned red and white, trembling with anger on both shoulders.
Thinking of Qin Hanyue going to bed with such a shameless and promiscuous woman, Kala found it unacceptable.
"How can you say such words?"
Qiao Ying's lips lightly touched as she bluntly said: "What makes you, a wannabe think you're any better? With a hook of Qin's finger, you'd take your clothes off faster than a dog."
Kala was left speechless by Qiao Ying's crude but truthful words. Just then, Lin Cheng came out of the conference hall and walked towards them.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Duke Lin right now?"
Kala threatened.
Qin Hanyue's cold voice rang out: "You can try."
But she was threatened by Qin Hanyue instead.
Lin Cheng walked over, looked at the situation, and thought: I hope there's no more trouble caused. It's best we leave now.
He greeted Kala, then told Qiao Ying: "Uncle said we should go back first."
Qiao Ying got up and followed Lin Cheng.
Qin Hanyue left Kala with: "Don't disgust me anymore."
After walking a few meters away, Qiao Ying looked back at Kala.
Under Kala's jealous gaze, she deliberately fell one step behind Lin Cheng, then turned around and boldly yet ambiguously pulled Qin Hanyue's tie.
As she retracted her hand, Qin Hanyue held her hand in response.
So the two "cheated" openly in front of Lin Cheng for Kala to see.
Kala's eyes widened.
Lin Cheng pretended to be blind and walked straight ahead. He imagined he must look glowing green in Kala's eyes now.
In the car,
Lin Cheng asked, "Aren't you afraid of exposing yourself to Agent J after causing such a big scene today?"
Qiao Ying closed her eyes to rest: "Do you think I'm afraid of exposure? It'll be good if I'm exposed. Seeing me, he'll naturally panic. Panicking will reveal his flaws. " Lin Cheng: "So certain? He's been lurking in the royal family for so long. It doesn't seem like he would act rashly."
Qiao Ying pulled up the corners of her mouth: "If he's not panicking, why did he drug Qin Hanyue?" It wasn't Kala. Then it must be Agent J.
Lin Cheng was a little surprised: "You said he was the one who put the drug?"
Qiao Ying: "He should've wanted to confirm my identity and take the chance to create some trouble for us and disrupt our plans."
Lin Cheng: "So Kala was used as a gun?"
Qiao Ying: "Um."
Lin Cheng looked at Qiao Ying with her eyes closed and little face up.
Recalling the tense scene earlier, he voiced out his suspicions after thinking it through: "I still feel that you were not only teaching the king a lesson just now, but also forcing me."
Seeing Qiao Ying's mouth slightly upturned to reveal a smile.
If she really wanted to make trouble, how could she let the old king off so easily.
Lin Cheng conceded. He knew it. How could Qiao Ying possibly be the reckless type who relies on Qin Hanyue and disregards consequences.
Such an intelligent and meticulous person could not possibly be stupid enough to kill in the king's palace and threaten the king.
And Qin Hanyue only cared to watch the show and completely let Qiao Ying do as she pleased. He should've known then that they were acting, acting him, no, they were trying to frame him.
Today, while teaching the king a lesson, she was more "forcing" him to make sacrifices.
If not for his uncle's appearance today, Lin Cheng would've had no choice but to sell himself - agreeing to inherit the throne, and possibly even agreeing to marry Karolina, in exchange for Qiao Ying to safely leave country C after committing a serious crime.
Or confess Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue's relationship, so Qin Hanyue could come forward to protect Qiao Ying.
And single again, Lin Cheng would be back to square one, still unable to escape the fate of being forced to marry Karolina.
Once he agreed to inherit the throne, Ryan and his son, and the behind-the-scenes players Agent J backing them, would not sit still.
They would certainly desperately make a move.
By then, Qiao Ying could directly come out to reap their heads.
Lin Cheng stroked the cat in his arms, shook his head, and lamented the cruelty of the world.
Qiao Ying taught him with her eyes still closed: "There are assassins plotting for power. Can you say whether you as a duke have a responsibility to manage it or not?"
Lin Cheng: "......"
Lin Cheng didn't want to speak and silently looked out the car window.
After a long silence, he casually said: "You seem to know your nemesis well."
Qiao Ying: "I've only known him for over 20 years."
Lin Cheng looked at her: "???"
The cat also looked at her.
