looked at him properly. Even when they were framed and ended up as husband and wife, even when they married for the sake of family honor, as Qin Dayong said, there was simply no emotional foundation...Chapter 227

When Qin Xi suddenly threw herself into Yang Chen's arms, Yang Chen was taken aback. His hands froze in mid-air for a moment before he regained his senses, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and then he gently embraced his wife.

Thankfully, Qin Dayong had already left. Otherwise, seeing this scene, he would definitely have guessed that the masked man who just won his daughter's mask was Yang Chen.

Everyone around was astonished, not just because Qin Xi threw herself into the arms of the man she had defeated, but also because Yang Chen walked out unharmed.

Susan watched Qin Xi take the initiative to rush into Yang Chen's embrace, her face full of complexity.

Although she had only recently returned to the country, she had always kept in touch with Qin Xi and was well aware of the relationship between Qin Xi and Yang Chen.

From Qin Xi's worry about Yang Chen just now, and her actions now, it shows that in her best friend's heart, this man already holds a special place. Perhaps she herself hasn't even realized it.

"Xiaoxi, won't you introduce me to your husband"

It wasn't until they left the City of Kings and stepped outside that Susan smiled contentedly, her eyes still curious as she gazed at Yang Chen, who had removed his helmet.

Hearing her husband's name, Qin Xi's face flushed slightly. She didn't refute it, only glared at Su Shan with a look of knowing. She knew exactly what this woman was doing; she had already chatted with Su Shan about Yang Chen before.

Qin Xi merely introduced Yang Chen, saying: “Yang Chen, this is Su Shan, my best friend since high school!”

Yang Chen just watched Su Shan nod slightly and then ignored her. Although this woman was Qin Xi's best friend, she was still a member of the Su family.

If it has anything to do with the Yuwen family, he wouldn't even want to see it.

It seemed to sense Yang Chen's coldness, Su Shan felt a bit wronged. Remembering what happened in the King City earlier, because she didn't know that Yang Chen and Qin Xi were acting, she had actually disrupted their performance. Suddenly, she was filled with self-blame.

I didn't know before, that you and XiaoXi put on a play to help Uncle Qin quit gambling. I'm sorry!

Susan suddenly looked at Yang Chen with sincerity and apologized.

This was actually beyond Yang Chen's expectations, but he remained indifferent, calmly saying: "It's nothing!"

"You're a big man, why are you being so petty I've already apologized to you, and you're still giving me the cold shoulder!"

Feeling Yang Chen's indifference, Su Shan's face flushed with anger, and she felt even more wronged in her heart.

"I said it's fine, do you need me to put on a smile for you to consider your apology accepted" Yang Chen's attitude was already cold.

"You're threatening me!"

Susanna said huffily.

Just moments ago, the two of them were getting along fine, but now they seem like enemies. This made Qin Xi very distressed, and she hurriedly said, "Yang Chen, ShanShan is my best friend. Can you please be a little nicer to her"

She wasn't reprimanding Yang Chen, but rather pleaded with a hint of desperation. She quickly grabbed Susan's hand and said, "Susan, don't hold it against him, he's just such a stingy person."

Besides, you don't need to apologize to us. Instead, I should be the one apologizing. If I had told you the truth from the beginning, things wouldn't have almost gotten you involved.

"You don't know how heartbroken I was when my father almost used me as a bet, but you didn't know the truth. You risked everything to save me and were even willing to pay sixteen million to redeem me. At that moment, I was truly moved."

"Shan Shan, to be honest, I'm really touched. Thank you!"

Qin Xi had said a lot, not to help Yang Chen out of the predicament, but because she was genuinely touched, especially since Su Shan had stood up fearlessly in that just-past situation.

Susan, who had originally been very angry with Yang Chen, suddenly felt her anger vanish.trembled all over. She knew her husband was truly capable of killing her."Honey, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."Wang Luyao hurriedly apologized and then asked, "Husband, I really don't under...
