Chapter 804: Chapter 792: Are You Afraid of Cockroaches? Just as Auntie Zhang was tirelessly promoting her son and Zhan Qipei was on the verge of losing his temper, a sudden commotion cfrom outside the courtyard.
The gossipy nature made Auntie Zhang pause her speech immediately. She changed her tone and said, "What's that noise? What are people arguing about outside?" As she spoke, Auntie Zhang turned around and walked outside.
The commotion outside was indeed quite loud, and Qiao Jing was also curious. She looked up at Zhan Qipei and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Let's go take a look too." Zhan Qipei, still simmering with anger, had a dark expression as he held Qiao Jing and walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
At this time, a large group of people had gathered outside, almost the entire village was there.
They were all discussing the row of cars parked on the open ground.
"What a grand display, I've never seen so many luxury cars in my life!" "I haven't either; today is truly an eye-opener!" "I've seen scar brands on TV, and these are all luxury cars! That's a Bentley, that's a Ferrari, that's a Porsche, and that's a Lamborghini..." "Does anyone know how much these cars cost?" "Such luxury cars, at the very least, would cost a few million!" "A few million all together?! Then doesn't one cost tens of thousands?" "What are you thinking? I mean, each of these cars costs at least a few million!" As soon as those words were spoken, the crowd instantly erupted.
"I could never earn a few million in my lifetime!" "Forget this lifetime; I couldn't earn that much money in the next few lifetimes!" "Whose cars are these? How did our village suddenly get so many luxury cars?" "Yeah, since when did our village have such a wealthy person appear!" Everyone was excitedly gossiping, with spittle flying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQiao Jing's expression was a bit complicated, not knowing what to say for the moment.
If she had known it would cause such a sensation, she wouldn't have had Tang Yan bring so many people along...
But she was just thinking in her heart; Zhan Qipei's safety was still the top priority.
"I think these cars definitely don't belong to any of our villagers." Auntie Zhang said with a certain tone, then turned to Qiao Jing, "Xiao Jing, you cfrom outside. Do you know what's going on with these cars?" Just as Qiao Jing was wondering how to reply, one of the car doors opened.
Tang Yan got out of the car, passed through the crowd, and walked towards Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei.
Everyone's eyes followed Tang Yan's figure.
Under everyone's gaze, Tang Yan walked up to Zhan Qipei, nodded respectfully, "President Zhan, seeing it's lunchtime, I cto ask, would you like to go back to eat, or have your meal brought here?" "We're not going back today, and no need to have the meal sent." While speaking, Zhan Qipei glanced at the row of cars surrounded by villagers, "As for you guys, find a place to stay on your own." "Yes." Tang Yan responded and turned to walk back.
Auntie Zhang, standing nearby, clearly heard the conversation between the two.
She swallowed, looked at Zhan Qipei, and stammered, "Th-those cars... are all, all yours?" Zhan Qipei, still holding a grudge over the earlier incident, didn't even spare her a glance and said coldly, "They're my wife's. Any problem?" Upon hearing this confirmation, Auntie Zhang was stunned.
She never thought that the man she looked down on earlier not only had good looks but was also a wealthy tycoon! Her family's meager possessions couldn't even buy a tire of those cars! Given that Qiao Jing was with such a handsand wealthy man, how could she possibly be interested in their family's Erzhu?! Coming back to her senses, Auntie Zhang's face was full of embarrassment when she looked at Qiao Jing again. "Xiao Jing, let's just pretend I didn't mention anything earlier. I suddenly remembered I have something to do at home, so I'll head back first." With that, Auntie Zhang turned and ran into the courtyard, grabbed the chicken, duck, and goose she had brought, and scurried away with her tail between her legs.
Wang Erzhu glanced in the direction his mother left, then looked at Qiao Jing, appearing reluctant and unwilling to leave.
Seeing his shameless linger, with his eyes persistently on Qiao Jing, Zhan Qipei's expression darkened, and with a chilling glance, he uttered one cold word, "Scram!" Feeling the piercing coldness in Zhan Qipei's gaze, Wang Erzhu shivered all over, his face turning instantly pale. Before Zhan Qipei could say more, he scrambled away in panic, shouting tremulously as he ran, "Mom! Mom! Wait for me..." Zhan Qipei withdrew his gaze, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
No man, or woman, shall covet his woman! Seeing Zhan Qipei in such a furious state, Qiao Jing inexplicably found him a bit cute.
She chuckled and dragged Zhan Qipei back, "Alright, let's go eat. The food will get cold if we don't eat soon." After eating the dishes Qiao Jing prepared herself, Zhan Qipei's anger finally subsided.
That night, the two of them stayed there.
After taking a bath, Qiao Jing returned to the room and found Zhan Qipei lying on her bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was speechless, "Weren't you supposed to sleep in the other room? Why are you on my bed again?"
Since the bed here was a single bed and she was pregnant, sleeping m together would be too Cramped, so she had discussed with Zhan Qipei that each of them would sleep in separate rooms. This man agreed to it earlier, but who knew that while she took a bath, he would change his mind!
Zhan Qipei sat up, took Qiao Jing's hand, pulled her to sit on the bed and then slowly said, "There are cockroaches in that room, the flying kind." "So?" Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow, waiting for his explanation.
"So I cover here," Zhan Qipei said, as if it was only natural.
Qiao Jing almost laughed with exasperation, "Are you saying, you're afraid of cockroaches?" She knew that to stay with her, this man would definitely find an excuse.
But she never expected him to use being afraid of cockroaches as a reason.
A man, who is formidable in the business world and feared by many, is afraid of a tiny cockroach that can be killed at a stomp? Did this man think just because he said it, she would believe it! Zhan Qipei nodded with a straight face, even saying, "That thing is pitch black and pretty disgusting." What's the harm in pretending to fear cockroaches? As long as he could cuddle with his wife, he could be afraid of ants, mosquitoes, flies...
After hearing Zhan Qipei's words, Qiao Jing rolled her eyes at himm "Maybe there are dockroaches in my room too. Why don't you go back to the capital overnight?" "How could that work? If this room has cockroaches, I can't just leave you here alone!" As Zhan Qipei spoke, he lay down on the bed, holding Qiao Jing, and even sneaked a kiss on her face.
"Wife, it's very late now. Let's sleep first."
