100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 456: The Wait is So Hard

Qin Yao had always believed he was not in the wrong, which was why he could now stand in front of Xiaoqiao.

And at this moment, having learned the truth, he simply didn’t know how to face her.

Qin Yao felt as if his heart was tumbling in a frying pan, tormented beyond measure...

He struggled, wanting to say something...

Just then, Xiaoqiao suddenly furrowed her brow, a hint of wariness flashing through her eyes. Without warning, her soft, alcohol-scented body toppled onto him.

Her hands even enthusiastically hooked around his neck.

Her weight was almost entirely on him, making his face redden and his head spin; he utterly forgot what had just happened, what he was going to say...

Xiaoqiao’s face was extremely close to his. Amid Qin Yao’s dumbstruck expression, she whispered in his ear, "Someone’s here."

Qin Yao glanced around subconsciously.

Xiaoqiao immediately turned his face back, whispering, "Don’t look!"

Qin Yao, his face flushed, dared not move again, thinking Xiaoqiao’s judgment must be correct since she, being blind, was more sensitive than others.

Huo Yandong really was suspicious. Qin Yao hadn’t expected that he would still be surveilling them at this point; he had been too careless.

But if it weren’t for this, perhaps he would never have been this close to her in his lifetime!

Qin Yao’s heart was filled with melancholy and embarrassment...

But, thinking about how he had misunderstood Gu Hangshen for so many years, even causing him to lose his life, while now he was here, so content and justified, being with Xiaoqiao, his heart... began to torment him again...

—

At this moment, from Gu Hangshen’s perspective, what he saw was Xiaoqiao’s back, making the scene look like they were kissing, and Xiaoqiao had initiated it.

The sudden image in front of him caused his eyes to split with fury, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked.

Lian Yi let out a soft exclamation and took his hand, "Mr. Gu, you’re bleeding!"

His right hand had been shot, and although he had been careful to avoid hitting any nerves, the wound was not one that would heal in a few months; now, due to his sudden exertion, the wound had burst open again.

"Let’s go inside," Xiaoqiao said in time, letting go of Qin Yao.

Qin Yao nodded.

The two of them cuddled and entered the old house together.

Upon opening the door, there was a sudden loud pop overhead, and countless streamers floated gently down.

Both Xiaoqiao and Qin Yao were startled.

Then Xiaoqiao saw that the room was strewn with people lying haphazardly around. Seeing her enter, they all had the dazed, not-quite-awake look on their faces.

Tang Yu was the first to come to his senses, rubbing his eyes and fumbling for the spinning party popper, setting off a loud pop, with glittering paper pieces and streamers spraying several meters high.

"Happy Birthday!"

The others also roused themselves.

"Xiaoqiao, happy birthday!"

"You little vixen, you’re finally back! We’ve missed you so much!"

Xiaoqiao’s expression was somewhat vacant, the familiar scene making it seem as if she were back three years ago.

Only, that person was no longer there.

Shen Letian pulled Xiaoqiao to his side and then stared vigilantly at Qin Yao, who was beside her.

"This is our private celebration; it’s probably best for outsiders to leave."

Han Yingnai, having heard about Qin Yao from Leng Jing, felt some sympathy for this man and, coupled with his clean and ethereal appearance, her good impression of him rose several notches.

Seeing Shen Letian’s attitude being so hostile, she couldn’t help but step in to smooth things over, "Hey! Can you speak more politely? Why so aggressive?"

"Hey, hey! Whose side are you on? Who is your man?" Shen Letian snorted through his nose, "Don’t be fooled by his pretty face – he’s a beast in human clothing!"
