After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 590 Sandwich Biscuit

Chapter 590: Chapter 590 Sandwich Biscuit

Ling Qingxue couldn’t help but inwardly curse Shi Yiqing for being a fool.

If it weren’t for Shi Yiqing, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

The only hope now lay with Quan Sicheng.

If Quan Sicheng were willing to stand by her side and speak for her, perhaps she could still salvage her reputation.

Shi Yiqing had the same idea.

As long as Quan Sicheng was willing to come forward and clarify, the problem could be resolved.

Then, they could even pin the label of mistress onto Ling Qingxue’s head.

However.

At this moment, Quan Sicheng harbored the same thoughts.

He hoped that these two women could resolve the issue themselves and not drag him into it.

After all, he was innocent too.

He just wanted to meet Shi Yiqing and make a clean break with her.

Little did he know what she would do to him...

Quan Sicheng thought this and naturally wouldn’t take Shi Yiqing’s side.

Not to cause trouble for Shi Yiqing was already the extent of his benevolence.

Expecting him to speak for Shi Yiqing was nothing but a fool’s dream.

Shi Yiqing, seeing his cold gaze, knew what he was thinking.

Her face immediately darkened.

"Brother Sicheng, do you really have to treat me like this for another woman?"

Hearing this, Quan Sicheng reflexively countered, "I didn’t."

Shi Yiqing didn’t believe his denial at all.

If it were true that he didn’t, why wouldn’t he speak up for her?

Shi Yiqing immediately looked at Ling Qingxue with eyes full of hatred, adopting the pained expression of a woman troubled by a mistress.

"Brother Sicheng, you promised me before that you would only love me in this lifetime, have you forgotten all that?"

Quan Sicheng pursed his lips and remained silent.

Those promises were things of the past.

Now...

He truly didn’t want to bring them up again.

Seeing his silence, Shi Yiqing’s expression grew even uglier, and her gaze toward Ling Qingxue filled with even more resentment.

"It’s all because of you, you shameless woman! If you hadn’t seduced Brother Sicheng, how could he possibly have been with you behind my back?"

Ling Qingxue was taken aback and then coldly said, "Don’t think by saying this you can shift all the blame onto me!"

"Acheng is with me because you fell in love with someone else!"

"I didn’t!"

"You did!"

"I didn’t!"

"You—"

Quan Sicheng, listening to their argument, rubbed his hair with some annoyance, "Enough from both of you!"

"What’s enough?" Shi Yiqing snorted coldly, "Not enough!"

"If this mistress dares to confront me today, and you don’t give me an explanation, this matter won’t be over!"

Ling Qingxue also added, "Acheng, you’re my boyfriend now, I need to know why you were with your ex-fiancée in a hotel."

At the mention of this, Quan Sicheng’s face showed a hint of hesitation, "It’s a long story."

"Then make a long story short," Ling Qingxue crossed her arms and looked down at Shi Yiqing from a superior angle, "I’m quite interested to know how she deceived you into coming here."

Shi Yiqing rolled her eyes, "How do you know it wasn’t Brother Sicheng who invited me over?"

Ling Qingxue was surprised at heart, and immediately looked to Quan Sicheng, trying to discern his attitude from his face.

Quan Sicheng wasn’t a fool; by now, he had seen through Shi Yiqing’s tricks.

He did want to meet Shi Yiqing and clear things up with her, that much was true.

But Shi Yiqing also had her own cunning thoughts.

She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to firmly ensnare him.

Having arrived early at the agreed-upon room, there was now an explanation for his abnormal physical condition from earlier.

It was clear that Shi Yiqing must have used some method to drug him.

If it hadn’t been for Ling Qingxue’s sudden interference just now, he and Shi Yiqing would certainly have already consummated the relationship.

The presence of the reporters at this time clearly hinted at the kind of stories they would report.

Thinking of Shi Yiqing’s heartfelt efforts, his gaze towards Shi Yiqing grew three degrees colder.

Comparing the two women before him, he oddly felt that Ling Qingxue, whom he supposedly didn’t know, was more trustworthy.

A thousand thoughts, all in an instant.

Soon, he had made a decision.

Just as Quan Sicheng could guess Shi Yiqing’s thought process, Shi Yiqing, observing his expression, also knew what he was thinking.

No one can stay calm upon knowing that they are about to be abandoned, pretending as if nothing happened.

At this moment, Shi Yiqing was like a starving wolf lunging for food, pouncing on Quan Sicheng.

She wrapped her arms around Quan Sicheng’s arm, glared at Ling Qingxue with hostility, and said to the reporters who were still standing around, "Don’t know how today’s events will be written up?"

Some in the crowd nodded, others shook their heads.

But their thoughts were very much aligned; they wanted to see where he would stand.

No matter which side Quan Sicheng took, the news would be explosive.

The difference was whether such a benefit could be reaped once or twice.

This involved the cunning manipulations of marketing.

If Quan Sicheng chose to stand by Shi Yiqing, they would first report that Quan Sicheng and Ling Qingxue were a couple, with Shi Yiqing deliberately intervening.

Afterward, there could be a twist in the tale.

The reverse was also true.

The three people involved at the scene, how could they not know what the reporters were thinking?

But now, they didn’t have control of the narrative.

Ling Qingxue, for some reason, even though she knew she had no prior relationship with Quan Sicheng and didn’t even recognize him before, still felt like she was looking at her own boyfriend when she looked at him.

Because she regarded him as her boyfriend, therefore...

As she watched Quan Sicheng waver between her and Shi Yiqing, she felt as if her heart was stuffed with cotton.

Her mood was utterly terrible.

And yet she knew that it wasn’t right to feel this way; she shouldn’t have these emotions.

But the reluctance and bitterness surged forth regardless.

Quan Sicheng, upon meeting her reddened eyes, was momentarily stunned.

If he wasn’t sure he didn’t recognize this woman, he might have thought he had wronged her.

With this in mind, his gaze became scrutinizing as he looked at Ling Qingxue.

This woman suddenly burst in while he was meeting Shi Yiqing and spoke some nonsense; could it be an intentional scheme?

No, no, no.

He shouldn’t think like this.

He shook his head vigorously and looked at Ling Qingxue, "Who exactly are you..."

Ling Qingxue didn’t let him finish, interrupting him, "Do you know how worried I was about you?"

"Hmm?" Quan Sicheng was about to speak but was blocked by her words again.

Ling Qingxue sniffled, her expression one of profound grievance, "Do you know how anxious I was when I learned you were going to meet with your ex-fiancée?"

Quan Sicheng furrowed his brows.

He didn’t quite understand Ling Qingxue’s reasoning.

Should he...

Be worried?

Ling Qingxue continued to address Shi Yiqing with an accusing tone, "Do you know that she has nothing but ill intentions towards you?"
