Chapter 12 She Can't Live Without Me
Chapter 12 She Can't Live Without Me
Even though she knew that Wei Xifeng was doing this on purpose to make her jealous, Qiao Yiran still felt a sense of unease.
Qiao Yiran bit her lip hard, but even if she were bought something, she might not care about it.
She was already tired of these external things.
Jiang Liwu is so crazy because she has never had it before.
To Qiao Yiran's surprise, Jiang Liwu was not injured.
He was perfectly fine, full of energy, and his very presence was a sight to behold.
But Wei Xifeng fell ill, so what happened after that?
Wei Xifeng instructed his bodyguards to move all of Jiang Liwu's belongings to the other master bedroom, which was closest to his room.
Before Wei Xifeng and Jiang Liwu returned, Uncle Wang had already ordered the master bedroom to be cleaned.
Jiang Liwu didn't feel anything about the room change. She had been temporarily assigned to a guest room, but she had never slept in a guest room before, so she didn't have any problem with sleeping in a different bed.
Qiao Yiran was quite surprised. There were only two master bedrooms in the villa, and the other master bedroom was given to Jiang Liwu.
She has lived here for three years, always in the second bedroom.
As soon as Jiang Liwu arrived...
The words Song Jinwei had said to her echoed in her mind: "The substitute has climbed over her head."
Qiao Yiran stared intently at Wei Xifeng, a hint of humiliation and hurt flashing in her eyes. This was also his way of making her jealous and provoking her.
After Wei Xifeng fell ill, he needed to rest. When Wei Xifeng walked towards her, Qiao Yiran pursed her stubborn lips and took a few steps forward to take Wei Xifeng from Jiang Liwu's hands.
Seeing this, Jiang Liwu readily agreed to hand over Wei Xifeng.
The way Wei Xifeng and Qiao Yiran interacted reminded Jiang Liwu of Wei's parents, so she subconsciously categorized Qiao Yiran as Wei Xifeng's partner, or at least his future partner.
Qiao Yiran was surprised that Jiang Liwu gave up the spot next to Wei Xifeng so easily. She thought that Jiang Liwu would take the opportunity to pester Wei Xifeng even more.
The next second, her hand was slapped away with a crisp sound, and the back of her hand turned red.
Qiao Yiran's eyelashes trembled as she stared wide-eyed. Wei Xifeng remained in the gesture of waving his hand, his handsome and rugged face furrowed with brows. "I don't need you."
In the past, it was always Wei Xifeng who ordered her to help him, leaving no room for doubt.
This time, her initiative only earned her Wei Xifeng's disdain.
A series of emotions, including grievance, panic, shame, and embarrassment, instantly overwhelmed Qiao Yiran. She dared not look at the people around her, feeling as if they were all looking at her with surprise and mockery. Her eyes reddened with embarrassment, and she covered her hands before immediately burying her head and running to her room.
"Hey." Jiang Liwu tried to call out to Qiao Yiran, but Qiao Yiran ran too fast.
Jiang Liwu looked at Wei Xifeng disapprovingly, "Xiaofeng will only push the person he likes further away by acting like this."
?
Who do you like? Who is it? Qiao Yiran?
Wei Xifeng sensed that Jiang Liwu had misunderstood something.
Before he could explain, Jiang Liwu continued, "You should act more gently—gentle in your voice, gentle in your movements, gentle in your expression, and ideally, you should smile."
"Let's smile first."
Wei Xifeng did as he was told without thinking, and he gave a strange and cruel smile.
Like a wild beast baring its sharp teeth, its expression was ferocious.
Jiang Liwu: "..."
"Well, that's already great. With more practice, it will be even better." Jiang Liwu nodded affirmatively, full of confidence.
Seeing Jiang Liwu's guilty praise of him, Wei Xifeng knew his smile had failed.
He suppressed his smile and stated, "Qiao Yiran won't leave."
Jiang Liwu: "Hmm?"
Wei Xifeng didn't take it seriously. "She's gone back to her room now. Where else could she go? She can't live without me."
Jiang Liwu looked surprised, her expression hesitant to speak.
But why is Wei Xifeng so certain that Qiao Yiran can't live without him?
Jiang Liwu immediately thought of how Wei's father had imprisoned people in order to keep Wei's mother from leaving.
Could Wei Xifeng be trying to emulate his father?!
Indeed, Wei Xifeng's upbringing and environment were extremely influenced by his father. No one taught him what liking someone meant or how to act if he liked someone. He only knew that what he got was his.
Whether it's a person or an object.
Regardless of how it was obtained, once it's in his hands, it becomes his private property.
Jiang Liwu patiently explained, "Her body is here, that's true, but her heart may have already left."
"Even if you get her body, it's hard to win her heart." Just like Wei's father, he never won Wei's mother's heart in his entire life. The two were entangled in an extremely twisted way until one died and the other was injured.
Why did he want to win Qiao Yiran's heart?
Wei Xifeng's brain, which had been thoroughly irritated, was somewhat sluggish. "Teacher, things aren't what you think."
Wei Xifeng didn't want to talk about Qiao Yiran anymore, but Jiang Liwu looked serious and clearly still wanted to talk to him.
With his hand on his forehead and two stray strands of hair falling down, Wei Xifeng looked uncomfortable. "Teacher, my head is so dizzy."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liwu immediately focused her attention on Wei Xifeng's physical condition.
She helped Wei Xifeng into the bedroom.
She knew that Wei Xifeng wouldn't listen to reason and wouldn't change so easily, so she decided to take it slow and correct him properly if any problems arose later. After all, she was there for him.
……
After returning to her room, Qiao Yiran immediately called Song Jinwei, wanting to know if Song Jinwei had gone to cause trouble for Jiang Liwu and what had happened after Wei Xifeng fell ill.
Song Jinwei had recovered, but her voice was still hoarse when she spoke. She kept breaking down in tears, complaining, "Yiran, my date is gone! I finally got a date, and it's all ruined. It's all that stand-in's and Wei Xifeng's fault for ganging up on me."
"Yi Ran, you have no idea that Wei Xifeng actually went crazy and attacked me because of that stand-in."
"I only said a few words to that stand-in, I didn't do anything."
"Wei Xifeng attacked you?" Qiao Yiran was extremely surprised.
Even if Wei Xifeng didn't consider her feelings, he should at least take into account that Song Jinwei is a young lady from the Fu family.
"He really hit you without any regard for the consequences?"
Song Jinwei clutched her neck tightly. "Would I lie to you? He not only hit me, but he also injured Brother Qinian." Seeing Fu Qinian's face covered in injuries, obscuring his once handsome features, and with blood still in his mouth, Song Jinwei felt an overwhelming pang of heartache. She gritted her teeth and angrily cursed, "Wei Xifeng is a madman!"
Therefore, Wei Xifeng's illness did not mean he did not harm anyone; rather, it meant that the targets of his harm became Song Jinwei and Fu Qinian. No wonder Jiang Liwu was unharmed.
Qiao Yiran clenched her fingers into her palm, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
"Yi Ran, you are right to want to escape Wei Xifeng. He is a monster, a devil, a violent maniac who beats women."
"He can hit me now, and he'll definitely go berserk and attack you later. Leave him, Yi Ran. Give this good fortune to that stand-in."
