My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox-Chapter 248: It’s My Luck That My Wife Can Be Favored by You

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: It’s My Luck That My Wife Can Be Favored by You

Wu Xia was completely stunned.

No wonder the man was so furiously angry; he had just watched his own wife getting intimate with another man in a car. How could he possibly not go mad?

The gold-rimmed glasses man’s tears streamed down his face as he nodded emphatically.

Wu Xia also felt helpless and quickly let go of the other man.

"Cough cough!"

The man in glasses coughed painfully, having just sensed the smell of death, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Even now, thinking back, he felt terrified, with cold sweat completely soaking his back.

Xu Qing didn’t step forward to show concern for the man but stood still with a complex look in her eyes, though a flicker of worry still passed through them.

"Zhou Xiang, you should go back, I’ve already said it, our engagement is off, I have nothing to do with you, don’t come bothering me anymore!"

Xu Qing said in a deep voice, "Also, Guardian Wu Xia is right here, if you want to acknowledge a relative, do it now!"

The gold-rimmed glasses man’s face turned ashen, and he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, this is all a misunderstanding!"

He hurriedly stood up and knelt before Wu Xia: "Guardian God, I never intended to impersonate you!"

"It’s just that I love Xu Qing so much, I saw that she admired you, often sneaking peeks at your photos, so I pretended to be your cousin, passing on messages to win her favor!"

Speaking, Zhou Xiang then turned his head towards Xu Qing: "Xu Qing, I love you, I really do love you, I can’t be without you!"

"I’m begging you, please don’t call off the engagement, you can do whatever you want, I’ll always wait for you, wait until you’ve had enough fun, and then be by your side!"

Xu Qing’s eyes twitched slightly, with tears swirling in their rims.

Her voice was somewhat choked up, but in the end, she responded coldly: "Zhou Xiang, there’s no turning back for us, you and I are now from different worlds, we’ll never have a chance again!"

"No!" Zhou Xiang said excitedly, "Qingqing, I love you, there is a possibility for us, no matter what, I will always love you!"

"I know you love Guardian Wu, so what? I love you!"

"I’m willing to be your backup, your loyal follower, to protect you for a lifetime!"

"Even if you do things right before my eyes, I’d consider it an honor!"

"What the fuck!" Wu Xia couldn’t help but curse out loud.

He had just taken note of Xu Qing’s mood, sensing her sadness, and was about to say a few persuasive words, but Xu Qing had already turned ice-cold as she said.

"Zhou Xiang, what do you think of me? Do you think my sadness is because I can’t bear to lose you?"

"Stop talking, disappear from my sight now, I don’t want to see you again!"

Xu Qing’s shift in attitude was too sudden; it was a definitive break, not just a temper tantrum or a spur-of-the-moment reaction, but the culmination of long-suppressed disappointment.

But why had Xu Qing shown concern for Zhou Xiang just now?

These two emotions were contradictory, weren’t they?

Wu Xia looked at Xu Qing helplessly, at a loss for what to do himself.

After all, he had only asked Xu Qing for help to vent his frustrations; he didn’t really love her.

He certainly didn’t want to destroy someone’s future happiness over a moment of passion.

"Qingqing..."

Just as Zhou Xiang was about to speak, a cold light flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes: "Shut up!"

"If it weren’t for Lulu’s sake, do you think I’d have protected you just now?"

"Go away, consider this a favor to Lulu, and an end to our years of feelings!"

Having said that, Xu Qing turned around, got into the car, and closed the door.

Zhou Xiang’s face was extremely unsightly, but he was unable to say another word.

Wu Xia had a faint feeling there was something hidden behind the matter, but since Xu Qing had made her choice, it wasn’t his place to say anything.

Just as Wu Xia was about to turn around and get into the car, Zhou Xiang crawled on his knees to his feet.

"Guardian Wu, please, I beg you to speak for me. I know Qingqing hates me, but I truly love her; I can’t lose her!"

"As long as she marries me, you can come find her anytime in the future, I have no objections. I’ll even help you find a nice place for you guys to have fun!"

He hadn’t finished speaking when a wave of icy chill hit him.

Although Wu Xia was up for something thrilling, he wasn’t into Zhou Xiang’s sleazy ways of playing.

Moreover, Zhou Xiang’s words completely erased any ounce of good impression Wu Xia might have had of him; he could see right through this man’s impure motives.

Wu Xia didn’t bother with any more words. He lifted his leg and kicked Zhou Xiang away, then got back into the car and sped off.

Zhou Xiang was left paralyzed on the ground, overcome with grief.

Wu Xia drove on, Xu Qing sat beside him in silence, and neither of them spoke.

Wu Xia wasn’t good at consoling others, so he didn’t quite know what to say.

After some time passed, Xu Qing seemed to regain her composure, took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. Wu, shall we continue?"

"Huh?" Wu Xia gave a slight start and his face twitched.

Xu Qing had just seen her fiancé call off their engagement, and now she wanted to sleep with him.

Even though Wu Xia wasn’t one to hold back, he still felt this was inappropriate.

"Heh!" Xu Qing forced a pale smile, "Do you think I’m being cheap?"

"Ah, no!" Wu Xia waved his hands quickly and hurriedly said, "I just don’t want to force you into anything. If there’s something difficult you can’t express, you can tell me directly!"

Xu Qing fell silent for a while before she spoke, "Actually, it’s nothing much. I was just taken for granted by him, and now that he knows I’m on my way up, he wants to keep clinging to me."

"Oh!"

Wu Xia didn’t press further and waited for Xu Qing to continue.

It turned out that Zhou Xiang and Xu Qing had been betrothed since they were young. Xu Qing went abroad to study, and Zhou Xiang accompanied her.

But Xu Qing was a very conservative and traditional person, declaring that she wouldn’t share a room with him before marriage.

Zhou Xiang, however, was a playboy, and how could he withstand such temperance? So, he played around with several women outside.

Xu Qing knew all about this but never said anything; after all, theirs was a business marriage, and it would be fine as long as Zhou Xiang behaved after the wedding.

But who knew that Zhou Xiang would end up having an affair with Xu Qing’s best friend, Liu Lu.

And to top it off, he had gotten Liu Lu pregnant.

This was something Xu Qing couldn’t accept.

Moreover, having been deflowered by Wu Xia, her long-held beliefs were shattered, leading her to develop feelings for Wu Xia, and so she decided to call off her engagement with Zhou Xiang.

Initially, Zhou Xiang agreed, but later, when he saw that the Xu family’s fortunes were rising, he started pestering Xu Qing again.

"Is it not sad? Betrayed by my best friend and still protecting the man who betrayed me!"

Xu Qing laughed bitterly, but there was a sense of release in her eyes: "Finally, I’ve spoken up, and it really does feel much better."

Wu Xia also figured out what was going on, understanding the fluctuations in Xu Qing’s emotions.

At that moment, the car had reached the highway, and Wu Xia immediately turned on autopilot, then reclined the seat, looking wickedly at Xu Qing.

"No need to think anymore, get up here. One shot will dispel a thousand woes; let me help you forget your troubles!"

"If one shot isn’t enough, we’ll go for two. With such a long journey ahead, we’ve got to do something!"
