Chapter 38: The Villa on the Mountaintop

him either. 。He didn't want to burden Qin Jingwen, but he couldn't let go of her for the time being. 。Xue Ma had given Xue Yao a one-day deadline, but today Xue Yao was at work. She couldn't force her...Qin Jingwen was sent to where Qiao Shunchen was drinking by the bodyguard guarding outside the door at the fastest speed.

This was a bar, a very large and high-end one. Qin Jingwen arrived at the designated private room and walked straight in.

As soon as I stepped into the private room, I saw Qiao Shunchen. He was still holding a glass of wine, full to the brim. He lowered his head deeply, not making a sound, making it impossible to see his expression.

Sun Xu stood beside Qiao Shunchen, looking worried but hesitant to speak up and stop him.

Son Xù saw Qín Jìng wēn come in, as if seeing a savior, his face overflowing with hope.

He didn't dare to speak, he gestured with his eyes.

Qin Jingwen understood Sun Xu's meaning, but this was the first time she encountered such a situation and felt uneasy. Nevertheless, she still walked towards Qiao Shunchen.

Coming to Qiao Shunchen's side, she directly reached out to snatch Qiao Shunchen's wine glass. The glass was snatched away, but the wine splashed all over both of them.

"You're getting bolder, daring to steal my wine."

Joe Shun-chen's wine glass was snatched away, and he instinctively roared in anger.

He thought the person who snatched his cup was Sun Xu, and he tilted his head to the side just about to continue questioning, but then he saw Qin Jingwen's pretty and tranquil face and froze.

"Who asked you to come"

His expression returned to its usual coldness.

"No one asked me to come, don't drink it, it's bad for your health."

When Qin Jingwen received Sun Xu's phone call, her heart skipped a beat. She had a headache. Would drinking cause headaches Would anyone find out She didn't know why he was hiding the fact that he had a headache.

"I'll take you home."

Qin Jingwen got up and helped Qiao Shunchen, but she didn't expect that when Qiao Shunchen used force, she fell onto him instead. She immediately pressed Qiao Shunchen down on top of her.

"You... you've had too much to drink."

The close contact between the two made Qin Jing's face flush and her heart beat faster. Sniffing the scent of alcohol mixed with the man's masculinity, she felt his hot and heavy breath on her skin.

But Qin Jingwen said that he seemed a little out of character after drinking so much. His eyes were still cold and sharp, his gaze piercing, not at all clouded by the haze of intoxication.

Although the two of them had already slept together and had more than one intimate encounter, Qin Jingwen was still unable to face such a sudden closeness with composure.

She tried to prop herself up with her hands, but was pinned down by Qiao Shunchen's powerful and broad hand.

"Let go, so many people are watching."

Qin Jingwen could only speak in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Get out of here."

Qiao Shunchen's brow furrowed, his voice dark and commanding as he uttered.

His orders were met with no resistance. As his voice fell, the bodyguards and Sun Xu in the private room quietly left.

In the dim-lit private room, only two people were left. They were close together, their bodies overlapping intimately. Soft music played in the background, adding a touch of ambiguity to the atmosphere. Qin Jingwen's heart was beating wildly, making her unable to feel the beauty of the moment.

"It's getting late, and so many people are waiting for you. Let go, I'll take you home."

Qin Jingwen used all her strength to force her heart to calm down, but the effect seemed to be negligible.

"Send me home Home to where Yours Or Song E'en's Or..."

Joe Shunchen coldly replied, his voice trailing off at the end. A look of weariness and sadness settled upon his brow.

Qin Jingwen saw clearly and guessed that he must have encountered some difficult problems that would lead him to drink. But what caused the sadness in his eyes Family Work Or a woman

Thinking that Qiao Shunchen might have gotten drunk because of a woman, Qin Jingwen felt a sour taste in her heart.

"You can go wherever you want, if you want to go to Song Yien's place, I'll take you there."

"No, I want to go to you. I want to sleep with you in the same bed."

Qiao Shunchen spoke in a rogue manner, but the chill in his eyes hadn't diminished at all.

Qin Jingwen felt helpless at this moment. Looking into Qiao Shunchen's eyes, she saw that his desire for her was mixed with disgust, and she couldn't feel any warmth in her heart.

"Okay, you can go anywhere you like."

Qin Jingwen didn't reveal what she was thinking. It seemed unwise to reason with someone who was drunk.

Qin Jingwen finished speaking and once again tried to get up, but Qiao Shunchen's voice came laced with teasing and mockery.

"Why is your heart beating so fast"

"I..."

Qin Jingwen felt a wave of heat wash over her as Qiao Shunchen's words struck a nerve. She was flustered and grateful for the dim lighting, or else Qiao Shunchen would definitely have teased her about her flushed face.

"Your heart is also beating, if it doesn't beat, you're dead."

This time, Qin Jingwen's sudden rise was unexpected. She quickly turned her head, afraid that her awkwardness would be seen by Qiao Shunchen.

Jo Shunchen dismissed everyone, and Qin Jingwen drove him home.

Joe Shunchen leaned lazily against the back of the passenger seat. Although he had been drinking quite a bit and was in a terrible mood, it didn't affect his chiseled features and noble, handsome appearance.

Qin Jing's gaze involuntarily darted towards him from the corner of her eye, her heart filled with speculation about his unusual behavior today.

"Don't deceive people anymore. With your abilities, you can still achieve the life you want."

Jo Shunchen's cold and aloof voice broke the silence in the car.

Qin Jing turned her head to glance at Qiao Shunchen, her heart churning restlessly.

"Are you so sure I'm a fraud"

Qin Jingwen didn't answer but asked back, she had asked Chu Yang this question before, but hadn't gotten the result she wanted. Asking a second time, she wondered if it would be the same outcome again.

"Several people have said you are, and you've admitted it yourself. What more is there for me to doubt"

Jo Shunchen's cold and emotionless voice transmitted over.

Since you're so sure, don't try to change me. I'll walk my own path.

What could Qin Jingwen say What could she explain Qiao Shunchen's opinion of her was deeply ingrained, and she didn't have the power to uproot it.

Qin Jingwen's grip on the steering wheel tightened gradually, because of Qiao Shunchen's disbelief, because of Qiao Shunchen's contempt for her.

Because Qiao Shunchen saw her as a lowly woman, he was determined to make her his. Because such a woman only cared about money, as long as he paid her, she would sever ties with him.

Thinking of these things, Qin Jingwen let out a wry smile.

How could she have reduced herself to such humiliation, why would she subject herself to being scorned by men here

Qin Jingwen, I'm saying this for your own good. Don't confuse right from wrong.

Qiao Shunchen increased his volume, his tone cold and menacing.

"Thank you for being good to me, I am so grateful."

Why wouldn't he give this to Song E-eun This is an insult to her.

In Qin Jingwen's view, this man was poisonous and she had to stay away from him.

"Qin Jingwen..."

"Mr. Qiao, we're home."

Jo Shunchen wanted to get angry, but at this time Qin Jingwen stepped on the brake and stopped the car.

"Mr. Qiao, the child is already asleep. It's best not to speak when you go back. Also..."

"I'm not getting in the car."

Jo Shunchen spoke coldly, his eyes quickly darkening.

Qin Jing turned her head to look at Qiao Shunchen, remaining silent for a long time.

She was seething with anger right now. If he hadn't been drunk, she thought she would have kicked him out of the car.

"Where to"

"Open the navigation, it will take you there."

Joe Shunchen coldly finished speaking and turned his head away, no longer talking.

Qin Jingwen drove along the route guided by the navigation. This time, Qiao Shunchen didn't bother her again.

After driving for a while following the navigation, the car unexpectedly ended up on a mountain road.

Although the mountain road was dark, Qin Jingwen felt a sense of familiarity.

As the mountain road climbed upward, Qin Jingwen's sense of familiarity grew stronger, and her heartbeat fluttered in confusion once again.

When the navigation finally ended and the car stopped in front of a luxurious villa perched atop a hill, Qin Jingwen was struck dumb like she'd been hit by lightning. She stared at everything before her in disbelief.

Here...

Here, she was all too familiar. She could forget everything else in her life, but she would never forget this villa.

Qin Jingwen held her breath.

"Where is this"

"My home, come on in."

Joe Sun commanded coldly, without noticing Qin Jingwen's discomfort.

His house No...

"Is this new"

Qin Jingwen didn't drive, but was once again confirming. Her eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief as the electric door slowly opened.

"Six years I've built this, do you call that new Stop talking and get inside."

Qiao Shunchen was a bit eager, every time he got drunk, he would come here.

Joe Shunchen's words were nothing special, but like a bolt from the blue, they shocked Qin Jingwen once again. Her brain had lost control, her face paling in an instant as if all the color had drained away.

Qin Jingwen told herself over and over again that what she heard and saw wasn't real. She must be dreaming at this moment, it couldn't possibly be reality.

The car moved slowly forward, but Qin Jingwen couldn't feel like she was driving it. As they got closer to the main house, Qin Jingwen's consciousness became more and more blurred, so blurred that she could no longer tell if what she was experiencing was a dream or reality.

Jo Shunchen is that man, isn't Qiao Zixuan...

When Qin Jingwen realized this, she was both surprised and delighted.

At this time, Qin Jingwen's heart was filled with an unusual contradiction. She couldn't accept such a coincidence, yet she hoped that it was all true.

The car was parked, but Qin Jingwen remained dazed, staring at the villa.

"Get off."

Qiao Shunchen's sudden chill brought Qin Jingwen out of her shock.

I won't get off the car, I don't want to see Song Yien. I'm going back now.

Qin Jingwen refused. If this was really Qiao Shunchen's home, then Song Yien would definitely be here, and the maid who knew her would definitely be here too.

She hadn't figured out all the details yet, and she didn't want to be caught off guard.

"This is my home, Song Yien doesn't know that at all. There's no one in this house."

As soon as Qiao Shunchen finished speaking, he seemed to press a remote control in his hand, and the whole villa suddenly lit up, becoming brightly illuminated and dazzling.

Qin Jingwen had thoroughly seen through the villa, it hadn't changed at all compared to four years ago, only the few large trees beside the parking lot seemed to have grown thicker.

This is it, this is really it, she kept confirming to herself.

Now she needs to confirm if this man and that man are the same person.

Qin Jingwen got out of the car, finding herself unable to support her own legs. Every step she took was a struggle.

Walking into the villa, arriving at the living room, she looked up at the tightly shut bedroom door on the second floor, Qin Jingwen's memories flooded back.

Four years have passed, and she wants to forget everything about this place, but it becomes clearer with each passing day.

For four years, this place recorded her most tragic life. Four years later, it was once again stirred up.ed this kind of contact very much, and the words she wanted to say became difficult. " 。"I... I'm currently renting this house from the Joes, but the lease is up. I'm not working for them anymore, s...
