Chapter 23: The Scapegoat Hero

hen said nothing, for he knew who he loved a little more. 。He once thought he loved Ye Wen with all his heart and waited for her for almost five years. 。Ever since he met Qin Jingwen, he realized what...Qin Jingwen went to work as usual, but she avoided Qiao Shunchen as much as possible. She also delegated her work reports to her assistant.

"Qin Jie, you go home first. I'll deliver the remaining documents to the secretary's office."

The assistant, Xie Miao, spoke very thoughtfully.

“Well, I'm going to pick up the kids, so I'll be off.”

As Qin Jingwen walked out of the office and into the lobby on the first floor, she unexpectedly ran into Chu Yang who was also leaving.

Chu Yang glared angrily at Qin Jingwen, while Qin Jingwen, after meeting his gaze, chose to calmly avoid it.

"Hold on. What are you doing here"

Chu Yang called out to Qin Jingwen, but Qin Jingwen didn't stop. She didn't want to argue with Chu Yang at the company, nor did she want to give her colleagues a bad impression.

"Qin Jingwen..."

Chu Yang chased after Qin Jingwen to the parking lot, finally catching up with her.

"Chu Yang, I am a fraud. You'd better stay away from me so you don't get fooled again."

Qin Jingwen finished speaking and directly reached out to open the car door, but was stopped by Chu Yang.

"Answer me, why are you here"

Chu Yang's anger was evident, and at the sight of Qin Jingwen, he lost control of his emotions, remembering what happened four years ago.

"This is Joe's place. I definitely came here to deceive Qiao Shunchen, remember what I told you"

Qin Jingwen self-deprecatingly admitted, she knew this was what Chu Yang wanted to hear, and also what Qiao Shunchen acknowledged.

It would be best if all men looked at her like that, if all men kept their distance from her.

"Are you crazy Jo Shunchen has a wife and children, is that someone you can just deceive Don't you know that if you lie to him, he won't be fooled and will make your life miserable."

Chu Yang warned, although his words were extreme, every word was the truth.

Qiao Shunchen is a notorious cold-faced king of hell in City B. He shows no mercy to anything or anyone. Qin Jingwen has set her sights on Qiao Shunchen, even if it means flying into the flames herself.

"Whether I can deceive him is my problem, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to take care of yourself and don't get deceived by me again."

Qin Jingwen didn't take it to heart. Though seeing Chu Yang made her feel heartache, she could endure it. This little pain was nothing to him.

"Warm warm..."

In a moment of desperation, Chu Yang called out the name he had often used before.

"Mr. Chu, please don't call me that. We have no relationship, and it will be misunderstood if you address me this way."

Qin Jingwen directly interrupted Chu Yang.

"Wenwen, I'm asking you one last question. Four years ago, knowing that I loved you, why did you lie to me"

For four years, Chu Yang had never truly let go. Every time he thought of Qin Jingwen, he would feel suffocated.

He didn't expect that after four years, he would meet Qin Jingwen again. Even though she was a fraudster, she was still as beautiful and eye-catching as ever.

"Chu Yang, are you so sure that I deceived you"

Qin Jingwen didn't answer but asked back. In this love triangle, in this deception, the one who was hurt was actually her, Qin Jingwen. Ironically, she became the scapegoat.

"... "

Chu Yang was instantly stunned, his mind went blank, and the hand that was blocking the car door loosened.

What did Qin Jingwen mean Isn't she a liar

She is not a fraud, who is the fraud.

Qin Jingwen glanced calmly at Chu Yang before getting into the car. The car started, she fastened her seatbelt, and looked straight ahead, only to see Qiao Shunchen staring at her with a dark expression, as if she had committed an unforgivable crime.

Another man watched her with amusement, another thought she was a fraud. Qin Jingwen couldn't understand, what had she deceived them of What had she done wrong to make all the men hate her

With a stomp on the accelerator, Qin Jingwen sped away quickly. She didn't care about Chu Yang's stunned expression, nor did she care about Qiao Shunchen's angry glare. Men were her enemies; she would stay far away from them for the rest of her life.

Chuyu Yang's antics left Qin Jingwen feeling extremely upset.

After finishing dinner for the two children, she didn't even have the appetite to eat herself, so she went straight back to her room to rest.

At the dinner table, two children ate while guessing.

"Aunt's in a bad mood."

Joe Hsien was a little worried.

“Well, I guess Uncle made him angry.”

The mood for half a month has also been low.

"Half Moon, do you like my dad"

Qiao Zixuan thought of something, and suddenly asked.

"I really like it, but the uncle is too cold."

Ban Yue is a little afraid of Qiao Shunchen. If Qiao Shunchen could be warmer, she would like him more.

"But I like Auntie, and I hope Auntie can be my mom."

Joe Hsu speaks his mind.

Two children were discussing when the doorbell rang.

Half Moon ran to the door and saw Qiao Shunchen in the video. She quickly opened the door.

"Where's your mother"

"In the room."

Qiao Shunchen, with a face full of anger, went straight to Qin Jingwen's room.

Opened the door and then closed it heavily.

Qin Jingwen was lying in bed when she heard their voices and quickly got up.

"How did you get here"

Although Qin Jingwen asked, she understood in her heart why Qiao Shunchen had come. He must have come to humiliate her.

"What is your relationship with Chu Yang"

Joe Shunchen glared at Qin Jingwen, asking her in a frigid tone as if she were an unfaithful wife.

"You saw everything and still ask. You were fooled, but it didn't work. Now that you finally caught me, of course you would come looking for trouble."

Qin Jingwen's calm words portrayed her as the perfect con artist, crafting a narrative that painted her in a favorable light.

"How did you cheat"

Joe Shunchen clenched his fists, enduring in silence. At Qin Jingwen's shamelessness, he was furious and enraged.

What can you do, seduce and cheat money.

Qin Jingwen answered while walking toward the door. She knew if they continued arguing, Qiao Shunchen would go crazy again. Once he was mad, he would only use cheap tricks to punish her, and she didn't want that.

But Qiao Shunchen still forcefully grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

Qin Jingwen stumbled and almost fell.

What are you doing

"Aren't you a cheat Aren't you seducing me I want to see how you seduce me."

The thought of Qin Jingwen possibly having slept with another man made Qiao Shunchen's heart constrict, the anger brewing in his chest threatening to boil over.

Jo Shunchen pulled Qin Jingwen's arm and threw her directly onto the bed. Before Qin Jingwen could react, Jo Shunchen had already leaned over and pressed himself on top of her.

"You're here again, are you"

Qin Jingwen pressed her hands against Qiao Shunchen's chest, forcing herself to remain calm and collected like a seasoned con artist. However, her heart was in complete disarray.

"Let's see if your seduction can trick me."

As Qiao Shunchen's icy words fell, his lips also captured Qin Jingwen's.

"Hmm..."

Qin Jingwen began to resist, but it was useless.

This time, Qiao Shunchen seemed to have become much smarter, no longer giving her a chance to bite him. His cold tongue gracefully danced in Qin Jing's soft and sweet mouth.

Every time Qiao Shunchen encounters Qin Jingwen, he loses control and becomes wild, as if possessed.

He knew this woman was a deceiver, yet he couldn't control the impulse surging within him. The scent of her familiar, subtle fragrance filled his senses, and as he felt her warmth and breathed in her air, all of Qiao Shunchen's anger dissipated.

Kissing her lips, kissing his face, his hands uncontrollably reached into her clothes. As Joe Shunchen's palm moved over Qin Jingwen's delicate skin, Qin Jingwen's whole body trembled with excitement.

But this fluttering, it made her disgusted, it made her wronged.

Four years ago, when she left that man, she vowed never to touch another man again, never to be humiliated by a man. But now this man, who she can't hate, is tearing at her vows.

What's even more unbearable is that she was powerless to resist, letting this man continue step by step.

Jo Shunchen's kiss traveled from Qin Jingwen's lips to her forehead. As it passed her eye corner, he tasted the bitterness and felt the wetness there.

Qiao Shunchen was instantly pulled back to reality, rising with a jerk.

And Qin Jingwen at this moment was disheveled and utterly wronged.

She got up wanting to leave the room, but because the child couldn't go out, she could only run to the bathroom with tears in her eyes.

The moment the bathroom door closed, Qiao Shunchen standing by the bed heard a heart-wrenching cry.

Why is this crying so familiar, this crying is so helpless and so heartbreaking.

The cry reminded him of the woman he had seen at the hospital four years ago, and it also brought back... memories. The woman crying loudly in the hospital park.

— Qin Jingwen.

Yes, it was Qin Jingwen. For four years, that pitiful face had been imprinted in his mind. That heart-wrenching voice kept echoing in his dreams over and over again.

So Qiao Shunchen felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Qin Jingwen.

Qiao Shunchen strode resolutely to the bathroom door and pushed it open.

"Leave, I never want to see you again. Who are you What do you think you are Why are you treating me like this So what if I'm a con artist I didn't cheat on you emotionally or financially. Why are you looking down on me"

Qin Jingwen cried and questioned while pushing Qiao Shunchen.

Now she's in a sorry state, not wanting to be seen by Qiao Shunchen.

"Shut up, don't cry."

Joe's voice, cold to the extreme, wanted to comfort but was mixed with anger.

"Get out, you rascal. You have a wife and need to go home to her. What gives you the right to..."

Qin Jingwen continued to shove Qiao Shunchen. She had endured for so many days, hadn't she Couldn't she be willful in her own home

She just couldn't help but want to let it out, but he angrily told her to shut up. Didn't he only feel happy if he suffocated her

"Shut your mouth."

Jo Shunchen reached out and directly hugged Qin Jingwen into his arms.

Joe Shunchen's grip gradually tightened. Four years ago, during that stormy time, he had felt an urge to step forward and hold her in his arms for comfort.

Today he once again saw this woman crying, it was fate's arrangement for him, he should cherish it.

Qin Jingwen stopped struggling, taking his embrace as a way to warm herself and comfort herself.

It's been too long, too long since I've felt such a warm chest, too long since I've released my stress.

Qin Jingwen cried for a while before calming down.

Standing straight, wiping the dried tears from her face.

"Go out, you've been in my room for too long, the children will miss you."

Qin Jingwen said softly.

"Be my woman."

Qiao Shunchen suddenly uttered these words.ll two children..." 。This little thing can't ruin Qin Jingwen. 。It's still best to stick to foreign plans, even if they cost a bit more. It's better to be safe than sorry. 。"Actually, Ye Wen also want...
