Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 1022: Pei Yao: Take Her Away by Force!
Li Hanzhou keenly sensed that Qiao Yun seemed to be upset.
He reached out to hold her small hand, his voice deep and magnetic, "Although I’m not close with Professor Han, based on my limited understanding of her, she wouldn’t submit to anyone—except you, of course."
Qiao Yun’s furrowed little brows relaxed slightly, as she nodded in agreement with her dainty chin, "She’s very fierce."
"And you’re still worried?"
Li Hanzhou analyzed for Qiao Yun, "If the engagement ceremony truly proceeds as planned, it can only mean she’s preparing for something big."
He didn’t think someone from the Tianqi Research Institute could be easily manipulated.
Especially not a woman like Han Wang, who has very strong opinions.
Qiao Yun thought of Han Wang’s temperament, her expression turning slightly solemn.
She had a premonition that someone was bound to suffer.
"If you’re really uneasy, you can always talk to her directly."
Li Hanzhou said, "After all, you’re already here. You can meet her anytime, and Herbert wouldn’t turn you down. Who would ever refuse Professor Qiao?"
Volkov listened, confused, but he agreed entirely with Li Hanzhou’s words, "That’s right, no one in this world would refuse Professor Qiao. They’d be desperate to meet you. Being able to meet you is such an honor—God’s blessing upon them..."
He babbled on, showering Qiao Yun with compliments.
Qiao Yun: "..."
Qiao Yun couldn’t listen any longer and quickly interrupted Volkov, "You can shut up now."
Volkov obediently shut his mouth, his expression still seeming as though he wasn’t quite finished.
Simon seized the opportunity to edge Volkov out, moved beside Qiao Yun, and asked, "Q, do you know someone called Xiya?"
Qiao Yun replied, "You guys know them too."
Simon and Volkov looked baffled.
Qiao Yun explained, "Han Wang, my student."
Simon and Volkov had identical looks of shock.JPG.
After a while, they exclaimed simultaneously, "Oh my God..."
The Herbert family was about to face a storm.
What were they thinking, trying to pair Han Wang with Andrew’s Nolan for a marriage alliance?
Excitedly, Volkov said, "I wasn’t planning to attend this kind of social event, but now I must go."
Front-row drama—how could he miss out?
Qiao Yun had no words to respond to their obvious intent to spectate the chaos.
...
After a little over an hour’s drive, the car finally stopped in front of an estate.
This was a property belonging to the Li Family in O Continent.
Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou got off the car together, but she told them to head back first and discuss matters later.
Though she had been on a twenty-plus-hour flight, she didn’t feel particularly tired—her main concern was Li Hanzhou’s health.
As an engaged couple, one must always be mindful of their partner’s physical and emotional well-being and provide timely care and support.
Ever since she started studying how to be a decent person, Professor Qiao had also begun to learn how to be a good fiancée.
"Q, I remember you still have school, right? How long can you stay this time?" Simon asked curiously.
Qiao Yun told him, "I’ve taken time off from school – I can stay for quite a while."
At least until the public opinion about her back home had settled enough for her to resume experiencing campus life normally.
"That’s wonderful."
Simon was thrilled, his mind already planning activities for Qiao Yun during her time in O Continent.
Volkov waved to Qiao Yun, "We’ll head off now and not disturb your rest. Goodnight, and I wish you two a lovely evening~"
As he said this, he raised an eyebrow at Li Hanzhou, wearing a "we all know what’s going on" expression.
Li Hanzhou: To be honest, not really sure.
After they left, Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou walked into the estate together.
The estate had been well-maintained, with no trace of dirt.
Qiao Yun chose a room and bluntly told Li Hanzhou, "We’re only engaged, not married yet, so I’m not sharing a room with you. Pre-marital sex isn’t right. I’m going to rest now—you should, too."
With that, she closed the door, thoughtfully leaving Li Hanzhou to sleep undisturbed.
Li Hanzhou: "..."
Having a fiancée with strong moral convictions was both sweet and slightly frustrating.
Li Hanzhou let out an exasperated chuckle and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The door quickly opened, with Qiao Yun poking her head out. Her bright, clear eyes were filled with confusion, "Do you need something?"
"Yes." Li Hanzhou leaned down and lightly kissed her lips, "You forgot the goodnight kiss."
Qiao Yun didn’t shy away, obediently letting the man kiss her.
Li Hanzhou merely brushed her lips gently, then reached up to tousle her hair, "Go rest, little one."
"Alright."
Qiao Yun nodded slowly.
Still, she remained concerned about Han Wang, planning to rest first and then reach out to Han Wang to discuss her thoughts.
But what Qiao Yun didn’t anticipate was that before she could contact Han Wang, someone came looking for her first.
That someone was Pei Ya.
When Pei Ya appeared before her, tired and travel-worn, she was rather surprised.
She remembered Pei Ya was supposed to still be in K Harbor—so how had he come here?
With this thought, Qiao Yun asked directly, "Why are you here?"
After a long flight, Pei Ya came to find Professor Qiao as soon as he landed, his dark circles all too visible.
His face looked disheartened, his voice carrying a hint of grievance, "My wife is about to get engaged to someone else—I had to come."
Li Hanzhou elegantly sipped his coffee and mercilessly reminded him, "I believe she’s not your wife yet?"
Pei Ya turned to Qiao Yun, sincerely asking, "Boss, can I punch him?"
Qiao Yun declined without mercy, "No."
Pei Ya sighed in disappointment, then suddenly raised his head, looking shocked, and asked, "Boss, did you already know about Little Wangwang’s engagement?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Qiao Yun answered honestly, "I knew she was coming back to break off the engagement."
Pei Ya said gloomily, "She didn’t even tell me. If she’s here to break off the engagement, why have invitations been sent out—including to me? If not for that, I might’ve been kept in the dark the whole time."
Li Hanzhou chuckled lightly, "Maybe it was love at first sight."
Pei Ya turned to Qiao Yun once again, "Boss, am I really not allowed to punch him?"
Qiao Yun kept a straight face, "Don’t bully him."
Li Hanzhou coaxed, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
Qiao Yun was satisfied and said to Pei Ya, "He knows his mistake now."
Pei Ya: "..."
Honestly, you’re playing favorites a bit too blatantly.
Qiao Yun pretended not to notice Pei Ya’s accusatory stare and said, "You can ask her yourself about her thoughts."
If Han Wang wanted to leave, there were ways to do so. Now that she had chosen to stay, Qiao Yun couldn’t guess what Han Wang was up to.
She only had a feeling that whatever it was, it wouldn’t be good.
"That’s exactly my plan." Pei Ya said confidently, "I came here this time planning to take her away."
Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, "What if she refuses to go with you?"
"Impossible." Pei Ya declared with conviction, "I’m sure she’ll go with me."
After a pause, he muttered softly, "Alright, if she really won’t leave, I... I’ll just tie her up and take her!"
Qiao Yun gave Pei Ya an unimpressed "you’re so brave" look.
Pei Ya wiped nonexistent sweat off his forehead.
If it came down to it, he was ready to kneel and sing a dramatic love song to persuade Little Wangwang to realize he was the one who’d love her no matter what—even to the bitter end.
