“Didn’t I ask you to dress up properly?” Qiao Chen, who dressed in a suit and leather shoes, got out of the car only to see Xu Wan dressed like an average college student on the streets. His expression instantly darkened.

Xu Wan frowned. “I don’t have any other clothes.”

Qiao Chen stared at her for a few seconds before pulling her into the car and bringing her to the Qiao family’s home.

“Judy, bring her to change her clothes. Get her styled,” Qiao Chen instructed the Qiao family’s maid, Judy.

After Qiao Chen left, Judy skipped up excitedly to hold Xu Wan’s hand. “Miss Qiao, you’re back! I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you!”

Back when Xu Wan was still living with the Qiao family, Judy had been very caring towards Xu Wan. Although Judy was a maid, the two of them had always been on good terms. They were just like friends.

Judy brought Xu Wan to the room that she used to stay in. The furnishings in the room had not changed. The clothes that Xu Wan wore when she was still a young lady of the Qiao family were also in the closet.

As Judy combed Xu Wan’s hair, she talked about family matters.

“The last time Mr. Han Bing came to our house, Miss Qiao Shi gave him a self-made sachet. Just that I saw him throw it away the moment he left…”

“Miss Qiao Nan hit someone in school again, so Second Master Qiao donated another swimming pool to the school…”

“Third Master Qiao rarely comes back. I heard he sent Miss Bai Zhen to the McKinnon estate…”

McKinnon? Xu Wan pondered for a while. It seemed to be Qiao Chen’s private residence in the suburbs.

Was he keeping his mistress in a splendid abode?

Xu Wan’s face was pale.

“But I think Third Master still has Miss Qiao in his heart!”

Seeing that Xu Wan looked a little ghastly, Judy quickly comforted her. “Otherwise, why would Third Master bring you back? I think the only reason Third Master kept Bai Zhen is because of the child in her womb.”

Child… Xu Wan smiled bitterly and placed her hand on her abdomen.

Oh right, did Qiao Chen want to marry her to protect Bai Zhen’s child?

Bai Zhen was Qiao Chen’s girlfriend and was pregnant with Qiao Chen’s child. Those who were eyeing Qiao Chen covetously might plot against Qiao Chen too. Previously, they had plotted against and poisoned Qiao Chen. Perhaps he was worried his enemies would harm Bai Zhen to take revenge on him, so he used Xu Wan as a shield to protect Bai Zhen.

Qiao Chen didn’t really want to marry her. After the scandal passed, Qiao Chen would divorce her and marry Bai Zhen.

“No, he doesn’t have me in his heart…” Xu Wan said woefully.

Judy stared at Xu Wan, not knowing how to comfort her.

After styling her hair, Xu Wan changed into a gown and looked as beautiful as a princess.

But her expression was bleak.

“Judy, why don’t you go out first? I want to be alone for a while.”

Xu Wan let Judy leave first. Then she sat on the bed alone, lost in thought.

She didn’t want to marry Qiao Chen, but Qiao Chen was too powerful and she couldn’t resist his orders.

What else could she do? Xu Wan sighed.

Right… Han Bing!

Han Bing’s face flashed across Xu Wan’s mind.

Perhaps Han Bing could help him!

Xu Wan took a deep breath and dialed Han Bing’s number.

Although she had blocked Han Bing, Xu Wan had a photographic memory, so she still remembered Han Bing’s number.

At that moment, Han Bing was drinking in a small bar he owned. One glass after another, he was almost drunk.

The phone rang. He didn’t really want to answer it.

That woman had blocked him, anyway.

Han Bing did not understand why she still did not have any feelings for him. He had already tried so hard and humbled himself to woo her.

He was clearly not that bad!

Han Bing took another drink, but the phone was still ringing.

He picked up the phone impatiently. “Hello!”

“Is… is that you…” Her gentle and timid voice was so tender that it could make one lose half of their soul.

Han Bing reacted for a second before standing up abruptly. “Xu Wan?!”

“Yes, it’s me…” Xu Wan sounded unnatural.” Where are you now…”

Never in his wildest dreams did Han Bing expect Xu Wan to contact him on her own accord. He hurriedly answered, “I was at the bar… um, I was just drinking. I didn’t do anything else. I’m serious, I don’t have any woman by my side!”

Afraid that Xu Wan would over-think, Han Bing frantically explained.

Xu Wan looked at her door and muttered, “I’m at the Qiao family now. Qiao Chen forced me to marry him. I want to leave this place. Do you have any idea how?”

“What? How did that happen? That guy is too shameless!” Han Bing cursed as he took his coat and left.

Xu Wan waited in the room for a while. Suddenly, she heard something knocking on the window.

She opened the window and saw Han Bing standing on a rock in the garden. He even bowed to her comically. “Your Highness, I’m late!”

Xu Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Then, she asked anxiously, “How can I leave this place?”

With Qiao Chen’s men guarding the door, she definitely couldn’t get out..
