Chapter 325: She's the Woman I'm About to Marry
Qiao Du ran into the bathroom as if she were running away.
When she came out again, there was a bedside lamp with warm yellow light in the bedroom, and Fu Jingchao was wrapped in a thin nightgown leaning against the head of the bed, holding a red wine glass in his hand, looking lazy and casual.
"Why drink this all of a sudden?" She asked casually, and pulled the quilt into bed from the other side, even though there were many famous wines hidden in the cellar, between red wine and cigarettes, he preferred the latter, and it was rare to have to drink after going to bed like today.
Fu Jingchao took a sip of red wine, put his big hand on her thin shoulder, took her whole person into his arms, kissed her hair, and whispered in her ear: "You are pregnant with a child, it is not appropriate for me to smoke in front of you, so I simply quit, and it is a hundred times." β
"You're really quitting?" She looked at him in amazement.
He lowered his eyes to look at her and replied gently, "It's just a matter of quitting, what's so difficult." β
She bit her lip and stared at the red liquid in his hand, "What if I ask you to quit drinking?" β
"Okay, if you say quit, quit." He laughed, and then placed the wine glass in his hand on the table.
Qiao Du bit her lip and whispered, "How can it be as easy as you say?" At first, Joe didn't know how many times he quit drinking a year, and he didn't quit drinking, and in the end he got drunk and froze to death by the river. β
Fu Jingchao's body stiffened slightly for a moment, and after a long time, he hummed after being stunned, and kissed down her forehead after a long time, kissing softly, as if he was caring for the most cherished baby.
"Let the past pass, and you will have me in the future." His low voice fell to her ear, his tone was gentle, but his dark eyes were full of emotion.
She closed her eyes, not wanting to open them to see his expression, afraid that she would not be able to bear it after all.
The man's familiar breath greeted him, and he didn't just want to hug her, he was kissing her lips, and the tip of his alcohol-stained tongue drove straight in, tangled with her.
Fu Jingchao's breathing was unsteady, and his panting was a little heavy.
She was pressed against the quilt, drowning in his domineering and considerate aura, and gradually, her hand couldn't help but wrap around his waist, opened her eyes and turned her head sideways, and whispered, "No...... I'm pregnant with a baby and can't ...... for the first three months."
He didn't speak, holding her with one hand and sliding down her waist with the other, as the heat of his palm seemed to reach her skin through his pajamas.
Fu ...... Fu Jingchao ......, "Her whole person is a little soft, her voice is a little floating, and reason makes her call out."
"I know, I just want to kiss you, I don't have any other thoughts."
He sucked her lips hard and snorted away, his forehead against hers, holding back the gasp in his throat and snorting lowly, "Twilight, do you have something to hide from me?" β
With a sigh in her heart, she didn't answer, and wrapped her arms around his sturdy waist: "What about you?" Do you have something to hide from me? β
By the warm light, he pinched her jaw: "What can I hide from you?" β
The four looked at each other, trying to read the emotions in each other's eyes, and after a long time, Qiao Du asked in a shallow voice, "Did you catch anyone who appeared outside the villa before dinner today?" β
"Isn't it too late to come and ask me about this after a few hours?" His tone was a little deep, his fingers tracing the shredded hair in front of her eyes, and most of the handsome faces leaning over her were hidden in a shadow.
Qiao Du bit her lower lip gently, he didn't say it explicitly, but she could read from his unfathomable eyes that he seemed to know something.
The two of them maintained this action for a while.
He got down from her, lay down on his side, put his big hand on the back of her neck, flipped her whole person into his arms, and said in a low voice: "The surveillance in the villa was completely destroyed by someone who broke into the system a few minutes before Xiao Tao found out, those people are obviously not ordinary thieves, they came prepared." β
"You mean...... AaronοΌ Joe's throat tightened.
"Well, it should be him." He squinted his eyes and pondered, "After I took someone to look around and didn't find it, I guessed that it might be a tiger leaving the mountain, and I quickly ran back to the house, and found that you were not in the living room, I thought you were kidnapped, and there was no movement at the gate, so I concluded that those people were in the villa, so I checked all the doors and windows, and found no traces." Later, I found you all the way to the study. Good thing you're okay. β
Her heart tightened, the corners of her lips pulled a smile, and her little hand held his face, "You care about me so much, is it me that is important, or is the baby in the belly important?" β
He lowered his head, stroked her flat and white abdomen with his big hand, his eyes lingered for a long time, and his voice was extremely warm: "It's all important." β
"What if you have to choose one? Is it me who matters, or is it my child? β
Without hesitation, he kissed her lips with thin lips: "Of course it is...... You matter. β
She leaned silently on his shoulder with her cheek and did not speak.
"What's wrong today? So few words? He put one big hand around the back of her neck and put it around her shoulder, and the other hand rested on her abdomen, as if he could feel the fetal heartbeat.
"I'm too tired from the day today to talk." She curled up in his arms, there was indeed an indescribable tiredness in her body, and what made her even more uncomfortable was that her heart was like a fire on the fire, and all kinds of speculations came to her heart, did Joe's death in a year have anything to do with him?
Did she read the ring wrong? No, there are initials of Qiao Nian and Su Xuan's names on the back of that ring, which are unique in the world, and she can't be mistaken.
The ring, which Jo had bought with his own hands in the first year, had no words when he bought it, and the two letters had been carved by him later, when she had just finished her homework and witnessed him carefully welding their names with a tool that came from nowhere.
Or was the ring deliberately placed there by Aaron to make her misunderstand him?
This logic doesn't make sense.
Since Aaron had the ability to sneak into the villa and brought a group of black-clothed people with him, why didn't he shoot Fu Jingchao directly, why did he deliberately lure him away and take her into the study.
I didn't think it at the time, but now that I think about it, Aaron's target this time was nothing else, it was her, and it was for her.
A dignified international drug lord, he did everything possible to infiltrate the house of his sworn enemy, did not shoot, did not kill, but took the sworn enemy's woman to the study with great interest, saying that he would take her to look good.
The move itself is incredible.
If it weren't for the first time she met Aaron, she seriously suspected that Aaron was interested in her, and wanted to see a rift between her and Fu Jingchao, so that he could replace him.
Qiao Twilight shook her head, feeling that her idea was very narcissistic and crazy, this is not a TV series, how can so many men like her and be fascinated by her.
"Since you're sleepy, go to sleep, good night." The man's kiss landed on her cheek, she closed her eyes, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep in a few moments.
Fu Jingchao hugged the woman in his arms, buried his handsome face in her hair, and felt her shallow undulating breathing with the big hand on her abdomen.
She really fell asleep.
It's so fragrant, so soft, and the pretty little head is on his arm, within reach, right in front of him, but such a close distance makes him extremely unsteady.
Following.
Fu Jingchao was still asleep, he felt the bed vibrate, and then a sound of footsteps went away, he seemed to realize something, and he rolled over and got out of bed.
In the bathroom, Qiao Du lay on the edge of the sink and vomited, vomiting until her whole body was sore, and her big hands wrapped around her slender waist and said, "Why do you vomit like this?" I didn't see you vomiting early in the morning a few days ago, where is it uncomfortable, tell me, I'll take you to the doctor. β
Qiao Du shook her head and said weakly: "This is morning sickness, a normal phenomenon, and it was like this at the beginning of Frost's pregnancy, so don't make a fuss." β
Fu Jingchao looked at her distressedly, and gently stroked her back up and down with his other big hand: "You were like this when you were pregnant with Rui'er?" β
Qiao Du turned on the faucet, rinsed her mouth with water in both hands, and then said, "That's not true, I didn't feel anything at that time, until my belly grew bigger day by day." I heard that the same pregnant woman reacts differently when she is pregnant with a baby, maybe the baby of this fetus is more lively, just the opposite of Rui'er, so that the family will be more lively in the future. β
"I don't want to be lively, I just want you to suffer less." He hugged her tightly from behind, his chin buried in her neck, "Aunt Xing is out on vacation, and I'll come back in three days, and I'll take you to the prenatal checkup then." Aunt Xing is an expert in gynecology, and I am more relieved to have her hand examined. β
Her long eyelashes drooped, and she said lightly, "Okay." β
The water from the faucet was flowing, and she was immersed in her own world, and in a trance, she thought about the two numbers and the ring in the study.
Joe's death in a year really had something to do with him, so what is she doing now?
Pregnant with the enemy's child?
Looking up at herself in the mirror, there was no blood on her face, others only thought that she had morning sickness like this early in the morning, but it wasn't.
Yesterday all night, she didn't sleep well, and she dreamed of Joe for a year, with a big hole in her stomach, and she was bloody and said that she had died so miserably.
The gloomy, ghostly voice lingered and haunted her all night.
If it weren't for her morning sickness in the morning, she would still be haunted by the voice.
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Liuliwan.
The nannies were busy all morning, and they would all have lunch and rest in the nanny room at the back, and there was naturally no one in the front hall.
Jotwilight walked through the empty living room and walked up the stairs.
The housekeeper came out when he heard the voice, and looked up at Qiao Dui's disappearing figure: "Miss Qiao, why did you come back at noon?" β
"I left my papers in the study, come back and get them." Jotwilight turned and smiled.
The housekeeper looked at her face badly: "Miss Qiao, do you want me to help you get it, and you can sit downstairs for a while?" β
"Don't bother, Uncle Jiang, your legs and feet are not good, my stomach is not yet pregnant, and it is very convenient to move." Qiao Du nodded to the butler after speaking, and raised his feet to go upstairs.
The butler didn't say anything more and walked to the back of the house.
In the study, Qiao Du opened the drawer again, and the stack of papers was still inside, but the ring was not inside.
How could it be......
She couldn't believe it, rummaged hard, but no.
I rummaged through the top two drawers, but there was still none.
Not only was the ring missing, but so was the digital piece of paper with the coordinates written on it.
It was all like a dream she had.
Qiao Du slowly straightened up, stroked her forehead and laughed, this smile did not stop, laughed for a long time, she finally got up and left slowly.
Three days later, at half past nine in the morning.
Qiao Du was looking down at the documents, and the secretary Jiang Man was packing the briefcase next to him, "Mr. Qiao, the design company replied yesterday that it has been arranged, and we will be there on time at ten o'clock, and there will be a welcome ceremony over there." β
"What welcome ceremony? No, I'm just going to take a look, don't make me look like an emperor going on patrol. β
Jiang Man smiled as he put the documents in his briefcase, "Mr. Qiao, Qiao's family has 80% of the shares in the design company, and you are not the emperor in their eyes now." I heard that Miss Fu specially arranged for all the staff to greet you at the door. β
Fu Zhixing?
Qiao Dui's hand was paused to sort out the documents, and she knew that this kind of welcome ceremony was weird, and it turned out to be Miss Fu's handwriting.
Qiao's acquired at a low price and became a major shareholder, and this kind of bargain picking is easy to attract mouth, so it is not good to hear outside. This time, she went to take a look, but Fu Zhixing deliberately made a big splash, everyone knows it, and outsiders will only think that she wants to be in the limelight, which will be even more unfavorable to her reputation.
Jiang Man saw that Qiao Duan hadn't spoken for a long time, thought about it for a while, and also thought of this layer, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Qiao, why don't I talk to the other side and let them not make it so grand?" β
"No need." Qiao Dui's expression was indifferent, hiding a sneer: "Since they want to get it, let them get it, it's okay, you want to calm things down, but the other party doesn't think so, they just want to put you to death." simply let the opponent be afraid of you, respect you, think that you are not a good waiter, and avoid giving you three points. β
Jiang Man nodded thoughtfully: "It's the same." This Miss Fu looks weak on the outside, but who can open a company is good at stubble? I just forced them to let them know that we are not easy to bully. β
Qiao Du glanced at the secretary approvingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go, I still want to come back early, I have something to do in the afternoon." β
"Mr. Qiao, what are you doing in the afternoon?"
Qiao Du smiled but did not speak, and her gaze swept towards her abdomen.
Jiang Man followed her gaze and looked at her with a slight surprise: "Miss Qiao, you ...... Are you happy? β
Probably lucky, Jiang Man will see Qiao Du getting off a Rolls-Royce at the intersection near the company every day, and once Jiang Man saw Fu Jingchao sitting in the car, so he knew about this underground relationship.
However, Jiang Man has not been a secretary for a day or two, this kind of secret thing from the parties, she naturally will not say it everywhere with a big mouth, so far, she is the only one who knows about the entire Qiao family.
Therefore, when he learned that Qiao Du was pregnant, Jiang Man was both surprised and felt that it was reasonable, although the Dongcheng Group was the diamond king who the women in Licheng City wanted to marry the most, but he was not young, the two had broken up once before, and this time they got back together and made people successful, so they should take this relationship very seriously.
It seems that good things are coming.
Jiang Man was really happy for his boss, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Qiao, has you received the certificate?" When is the banquet due? β
Qiao Du casually flicked the broken bangs on his forehead, his smile was blurred, and he asked about work instead: "By the way, did I let you bring the printed materials?" β
Jiang Man lowered his head and checked the briefcase, and nodded affirmatively: "I brought it all." β
Joe Dusk's jaw bowed, "Let's go!" β
The two walked out of the office and walked towards the elevator.
"Mr. Qiao, Sister Jiang Man." A little secretary ran over with a mobile phone in his hand: "Oh no, watch this video." β
"What video? It's worth all the fuss you make. Jiang Man didn't care, took the phone, looked at it twice, and brought it to Qiao Dui: "Mr. Qiao, look." β
In the video, Fu Zhixing's face appeared in a panicked voice: "I didn't know it would be like that...... I pass by Moonlight Pier every day, and I drove as usual that day...... Suddenly, when I got to the dock, the brakes failed, and I didn't see my third sister-in-law's car, so I crashed into it. I...... I didn't mean to......"
Then came Su Bing's face: "We all know that you and your third sister-in-law have no grievances, and it is impossible to do that." You said that your brakes failed, how did they fail at that time, did someone calculate the time? β
"I don't know, but the police inspected my car afterwards and confirmed that my brakes had been tampered with. Also, my third sister-in-law would not have appeared at Moonlight Pier that day, and she seemed to have received a WeChat message from someone she trusted that day before sneaking out, and this happened. β
"Is it Miss Qiao's WeChat?" Su Bing had a surprised expression on his face.
Fu Zhixing nodded, as if she was worried, and stopped talking.
The video is open with a barrage, and I see that the barrage here is almost full of remarks about "Qiao Du is a murderer".
"Who posted this on the Internet, Xiaohu, what kind of gossip videos do you watch during work hours?" Jiang Man scolded the little secretary.
The little secretary said aggrievedly: "Mr. Qiao, I didn't watch the video during work hours, everyone has been talking about this matter on the company's internal forum since this morning, which is downloaded from the most famous Donglin Satellite TV website in China, I also care about you, take into account your reputation, and want to show it to you." β
"I'm fine." Qiao Dui's expression was calm, and she didn't seem to be affected by this, but her hand holding the phone was clenched, and her fingertips were white.
Jiang Man hurriedly took the mobile phone away and returned it to the little secretary, and silently waved his hand at the little secretary, signaling to leave quickly.
The little secretary knew that he was in trouble, so he ran away.
"Mr. Qiao, are you okay?" Jiang Man asked with concern.
Before Qiao Duan could answer, she saw another figure coming, it was Wei Ju's secretary: "Mr. Qiao, Vice President Wei asked me to come over and tell you, he will go to Fu Zhixing Design Company with you." β
β¦β¦
At the same time, Liuliwan.
Fu Ce entered the door and took off his civilian clothes and handed them to Fu's mother: "Are they back?" β
Fu's mother patted a piece of dust on her husband's clothes: "I'm back, Jing Chao is in the upstairs study, Rui'er is swimming in the pool behind, which one do you want to see?" β
Fu Ce put his hands behind his back and raised his feet to go upstairs.
"Old man." Fu's mother stopped her husband: "You called your son and grandson back from the company and the school early in the morning, what is the matter?" β
"Isn't it your birthday today? I called them back for your birthday, what's wrong with having a meal with you, there's a problem? β
Fu's mother didn't appreciate it at all: "Okay, do you want to really celebrate my birthday, do you need to take a plane here in anger early in the morning?" Besides, it's my little birthday, and I've never seen you call them back for my birthday before. Master, do you have something else to do? β
"You don't care about it for now, I'll tell you when I'm done." Fu Ce waved his hand decisively and continued to go upstairs with his hands behind his back.
Unexpectedly, Fu Jingchao hurriedly came down from the upstairs, and seeing his figure walking towards the door, Fu Ce's face darkened: "Where are you going?" β
Fu Jingchao glanced at his father: "I have something to do in the afternoon, Rui'er stayed to celebrate her mother's birthday." β
"What's the big deal you have to go out at this time? Can your company go bankrupt if you don't have it for half a day? Fu Ce said unhappily: "Or is it that woman who likes to hook up and put it outside, you don't worry, you have to run over and watch from the side?" β
Fu Jingchao's face sank: "She is not a woman who hooks up with three or four, she is the woman I am about to marry." β
Fu Ce took a deep breath and said angrily, "The woman you are about to marry? Hmph, did you ask me? Without my consent, none of you want to marry, especially this Qiao Dui, you don't think I will agree! β
"It's me who takes my wife, not you, and you don't agree to have anything to do with me?" Fu Jingchao replied coldly.
"You ......" Fu Ce was very angry.
Seeing that the father and son were arguing, Fu's mother hurriedly came over to persuade: "Okay, okay, what's the quarrel?" For so many years, your father and son have never quarreled, what's wrong with it today? β
"Ask your good son what he wants?!!" Fu Ce pointed angrily at Fu Jingchao.
Fu's mother looked at Fu Ce, and then at Fu Jingchao, she guessed the root cause: "It's because ...... Surname Joe? β
"Your son is going to marry her!"
Fu's mother looked at Fu Jingchao in astonishment, grabbed his arm and said, "Jingchao, you are a good family and don't marry, marry such a play, where do you want me and your father's faces to go?" β
Fu Jingchao was unmoved: "Mom, what kind of play?" Whether she is in the entertainment industry or not, it is her who I want to marry, not her profession. β
"Yes, she is not acting now, she is in charge of the Qiao Group, but as the saying goes, as long as she has been a drama for a day, she is a dramatist, a family like ours can't tolerate her, if you marry her, you will be laughed at for a lifetime, it's not worth it!" Fu's mother tried to persuade her mother-in-law.
Fu Jingchao sneered in his dark eyes, "Life is for myself, what does it have to do with me whether others laugh or not?" β
"Why does it have nothing to do with you, you don't have a face, I still want a face, I'm also the commander of an army, where do you want my old face to go in the future?" Fu Ceyi said angrily.
Suddenly, Fu Zhixing's sobbing sound poured out from the turned on TV, which was the interview on Donglin Satellite TV that day.
The whole living room was silent, and Fu's mother saw this interview for the first time, and her eyes widened: "This is ...... This is Zhixing, she said that the person who killed Frost, and the person who killed my grandson was Qiao Dui? β
The interview on Donglin Satellite TV that day was all controlled by Fu Ce, and he naturally knew this, so he gritted his teeth with hatred at this time and said: "I already knew, you say, can such a woman still enter my house?" One of my good grandsons is gone, if it weren't for you and Rui'er, I would have to pay her blood debt! β
