100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 436: You Should Thank Me

"You... what are you saying?" It took him a moment to come back to his senses.

Xiaoqiao didn’t think there was anything wrong and analyzed, "Three years ago, Huo Yandong had already forced me to marry you, and Gu Hangshen had done his homework to push me forward, so this identity isn’t abrupt at all."

What Qin Yao was concerned about at this moment, of course, wasn’t this but what she meant by marrying, which was...

Gong Xiaoqiao guessed what was on his mind and explained, "Of course, it was just a wedding ceremony for show. Gu Hangshen and I are still legally husband and wife. I know you forced us to divorce back then, I signed the agreement, but while I signed it, he did not. Leng Tou said the divorce agreement Gu Hangshen showed you was fake."

Qin Yao was stupefied again...

Fake...

He probably would never believe that Gu Hangshen could give him a fake divorce agreement, right?

At that time, Gu Hangshen’s complexion was so poor it was completely flawless!

Because he trusted Gu Hangshen’s character too much and was too confident, believing that Gu Hangshen would absolutely adhere to their agreement, he didn’t give the authenticity of the agreement any attention at all!

However, even if it was fake, Xiaoqiao’s proposal still moved him!

Huo Yandong returned to City A two days later.

In fact, he hadn’t gone far at all and was still hiding within the country.

During that period, he kept sending people to secretly observe until he was sure it was safe to come back.

The night Huo Yandong returned, Qin Yao took Xiaoqiao to meet him.

Looking at his triumphant demeanour in the bar’s private room, reveling in music and entertainment, surrounded by women, if not for her profound professional acting skills, she would have probably hit him with a brick right then and there. She definitely couldn’t manage to appear coy and flustered in front of such a person without those skills.

Huo Yandong had drunk quite a bit, his face flushed, and it was clear he was in a good mood. Seeing the two come in, the first question he asked was, "I’m very curious, even Gu Hangshen is dead, how did you escape?"

"When Gu Hangshen burst through the door, he ran off alone, and I, being blind, rushed out directionlessly and fell into a well by mistake, which inadvertently saved my life," Xiaoqiao answered without changing her expression.

Blaine, surprised, glanced at her, "You really have great fortune! I was the one who kicked that well cover off when I left. Speaking of which, I’m your lifesaver, and you should thank me!"

Xiaoqiao: "..."

I should thank you for giving me a good excuse and just happening to emerge as my alibi.

Huo Yandong didn’t ask further, just scoffed and said, "Women! They never know who treats them best until they’ve been knocked around and suffer a bruising."

By that, he meant that back then when he wanted her to marry Qin Yao, she refused, but now that she’s blind and has been tormented to near death, she has no choice but to come back to him. And to underscore his point, Qin Yao was still willing to take her. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Then... godfather, what are you suggesting?" Qin Yao probed.

"You don’t mind, so what should I have to complain about? However, if you two are together, I have one condition."

Xiaoqiao slightly tightened her grip on Qin Yao’s hand, appearing nervous, actually, she was indeed quite anxious, not knowing what Huo Yandong would demand.

"You’re the illegitimate daughter of Gong Zhiming, aren’t you?"

Xiaoqiao’s expression froze, not expecting Huo Yandong to ask this.

Qin Yao was also surprised; how should this question be answered?

During the discussion, Xiaoqiao had only said she needed to let Huo Yandong know about her origins but couldn’t say it directly; he had to find out for himself.
