The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1036 - 429: Lu Jingchen, This Is What You Owe Me (6,000 Words)_3

...

Song Qiao didn’t remember how she left the Lu Family Mansion. By the time she came to her senses, she was already standing at a bus stop three kilometers away.

Looking at the empty road with no cars passing by, Song Qiao felt her mind was in complete disarray.

Although she didn’t know if what Tan Shuya said was true, she’d already accepted it as fact in her heart.

Suddenly, the phone in her pocket started ringing. When she took it out, she saw it was Chu Munan. After swiping the answer button and placing it to her ear, Song Qiao answered.

At that moment, Chu Munan was sitting on Ji Sifan’s sofa, with Ji Sifan and Song Nianhuan across from him.

Ji Sifan’s expression was not good, glaring at Chu Munan with a face full of indignation. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He wished he could snatch the phone away from him immediately, but knowing he wasn’t a match, likely to be floored in a minute, he didn’t dare to proceed.

After glancing at him, Chu Munan spoke to Song Qiao on the phone, "I’m in An City right now. Where are you?"

Upon hearing Chu Munan’s words, Song Qiao momentarily didn’t react. Looking around, she realized she didn’t even know where she was.

Suddenly overwhelmed with grievance, she couldn’t help but cry, saying directly into the phone to Chu Munan, "I don’t know where I am either, Chu Munan... I seem to have forgotten the way home..."

Her mind was filled with the words Tan Shuya had spoken to her. Her head felt chaotic and suddenly painful, prompting her to crouch by the roadside, one hand holding her phone, the other hugging her knees, as her eyes fixed on the ground, tears falling one by one.

At this moment, she started questioning whether Lu Jingchen truly loved her or not...

If he did, why didn’t he tell her about these things himself, instead letting her hear it from someone else?

Startled by Song Qiao’s words, Chu Munan stood up abruptly, "Song Qiao, what’s wrong?"

Hearing this, Ji Sifan couldn’t remain calm either and quickly moved to Chu Munan’s side, "What happened? Did something happen to Song Qiao?"

Song Nianhuan was confused, not yet understanding what was happening, but seeing the tense expressions of her uncle and godfather, she immediately thought her mother was in trouble and started to cry, "Mom... I want my mom..."

...

Half an hour later, Chu Munan found Song Qiao crouched by the roadside.

After parking the car, he jumped out and quickly walked towards her.

Hearing his footsteps, Song Qiao looked up and, seeing him finally arrive, forced a smile more painful than tears, saying with a touch of grievance, "Chu Munan, my legs are numb; I can’t stand up."

Perhaps she had cried too hard before; even though her makeup was waterproof, it still looked messy, and her eyes were a bit swollen.

Chu Munan fixed his gaze on her, sighed helplessly, and walked over to slowly help her up, picking up her phone from the ground, then scooped her up horizontally, with a bit of frustration in his voice, "How long have you been squatting here? Couldn’t you find somewhere to sit and wait for me?"

Song Qiao pursed her lips, still feeling somewhat aggrieved, "I hadn’t thought that far before."

He gently placed her in the passenger seat, carefully buckled her seatbelt, and took out a U-shaped pillow from the back to place around her neck. Seeing the tiredness on her face, he ruffled her hair and said, "If you’re tired, take a nap. I’ll take you back first."

Song Qiao dared not look at him, fearing she’d break into tears again, as no one had ever treated her so well before.

She muttered a soft "thank you, Chu Munan."

"Sleep," he replied softly, closing the passenger door and heading back to the driver’s seat, where he opened the door and got in.

She must have been really tired because within a few minutes of driving, Song Qiao fell asleep.

Seeing Song Qiao asleep with her eyes closed, Chu Munan adjusted the cabin temperature a bit higher, worried she might catch a cold otherwise.
