Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shao Yunduan promptly stood up and spoke with a smile, Father-in-law, Officer Yang, my wife is here to fetch me. Ill take my leave now.

County Magistrate Qiao frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Xuan, youre so foolis.h.!.+ A woman should be gentle and virtuous, not casually and indifferently meddling in her husbands affairs.

Shao Yunduan responded, Father-in-law, my wife cares about me, and 1 appreciate that. Please dont blame her; she hasnt done anything wrong. Officer Qiao remained silent.

He had such good intentions! He was trying to guide his daughter-in-law, but now he was undermining his own reputation!

They were not a harmonious couple in his eyes.

In that case, you may depart now.

l bid you farewell.

Shao Yunduan respectfully cupped his hands and left alongside Qiao Xuan.

County Magistrate Yang couldnt help but feel a pang of heartache as he witnessed the two departing hand in hand.

He had come here to a.s.sert his superiority, yet he was the one feeling provoked instead. He even began to suspect that the Qiao Familys Second Miss had been having an affair with Provincial Champion for quite some time, allowing them to fly away together?

The more he pondered on it, the more plausible it seemed. He was on the verge of impulsively questioning County Magistrate Qiao about it.

If it was their plan, County Magistrate Qiao would either be unaware of it or keep it to himself. There was no need for him to humiliate himself.

But within County Magistrate Yangs mind, he had already made a firm decisionhe was determined to have a brighter future than Shao Yunduan. He would attain a high position where Shao Yunduan could only look up to him.

He was going to make Qiao Xuan regret her decision!

Inside the room, Shao Yunduan gazed at Qiao Xuan, placing his hands on her shoulders. Did you feel wronged today?

Qiao Xuan shook her head and chuckled. Of course not. I always say that I am Mrs. Provincial Champion. It annoys them so much, hehe!

Shao Yunduan couldnt help but laugh, his gentle demeanor s.h.i.+ning through. You are indeed Mrs. Provincial Champion, the one and only!

Yes, Qiao Xuan proudly smiled. There will never be another Mrs. Provincial

Champion in the Qiao Family. They are just envious of me!

Shao Yunduan laughed and couldnt resist pulling her into his embrace.

Her face nestled against Shao Yunduans chest, and the cool touch sent a slight s.h.i.+ver through her body. The spot where they made contact began to warm, and she could distinctly hear his strong and steady heartbeat, even through their layers of clothing.

Qiao Xuan felt her ears growing hotter and hotter, and her face flushed with warmth.

Pus.h.i.+ng him away? That was too much for her to bear

She couldnt bear the embarra.s.sment of reciprocating the hug.

Subconsciously, she held her breath, frozen in place, afraid to make any movement.

Shao Yunduan was taken aback as well.

He didnt overthink the situation. He was simply overwhelmed with excitement and couldnt resist embracing her.

Only now did Qiao Xuan realize what she had done. Guilt washed over her.

They had made a promise that until she fully accepted him, he would respect her boundaries and never push her or make her uncomfortable.

But was she really pus.h.i.+ng him away?

It was just too sudden!

Shao Yunduan wanted to hold her tighter, but he felt a sudden hesitation. There was a voice inside him telling him to let her go, but he couldnt bring himself to do it.

A delicate fragrance enveloped the womans body, so pleasant to the senses. Her waist was slender and soft, igniting the imagination and prompting thoughts about the sensation of their skins touching..
