My Wife, The Ice Queen President-Chapter 495: Bet (First Update)_1
Chapter 495: Bet (First Update)_1
After Ye Xiong left, the people around the table turned their gaze towards where he went, wondering what he wanted with Xia Qiqi alone.
“Cousin, do you think Brother-in-law would bring that woman back with him?” Tang Ning asked.
Yang Xinyi had this worry all along, and now that she mentioned it, she became even more concerned, but she still said, “Your Brother-in-law isn’t that type of person.”
“That’s hard to say, they slept in the same room for ten days, not to mention whether anything happened, just the relationship between them, I’m afraid, is extraordinary. I guess Brother-in-law will definitely bring her back,” Tang Ning said.
After Tang Ning finished speaking, she looked at the others, “What do you guys think, will he or won’t he?”
“I guess he will, the guy is a playboy to begin with, and that woman isn’t bad-looking either,” Vermilion Bird said.
“Brother Xiong is not like that, he’s very faithful to his wife,” Chen Xiao defended.
“You’re just a bootlicker,” Vermilion Bird insulted.
“Sister Ruyin, what about you? Do you think Brother-in-law will bring that woman back?” Tang Ning asked.
“I don’t know,” Murong Ruyin replied indifferently.
“Take a guess, just for fun.”
After thinking for a while, Murong Ruyin said, “No.” ”
“Did you hear that? Even Ruyin doesn’t believe it, now we have three votes to two,” Chen Xiao said proudly.
“The facts that come later will slap you hard in the face,” Tang Ning said.
…
Ye Xiong went over to the lobby and sat down, with Xia Qiqi walking over to his side, silent.
“Have a seat!”
“No need, just say what you want,” Xia Qiqi said.
Ye Xiong thought back to the past ten days, from meeting Xia Qiqi to living together, including the incident when he accidentally barged into the bathroom, seeing her naked, it felt like watching TV.
“I hope you can leave Macau,” Ye Xiong said.
Xia Qiqi’s face immediately turned red. What did his words imply? Did he want to take her back with him?
Didn’t he have a wife?
No, absolutely not. Although I, Xia Qiqi, may be poor, I am a woman with pride; I will definitely not become someone’s mistress.
“I won’t leave this place, don’t harbor any foolish fantasies about me,” Xia Qiqi said.
“I didn’t mean that,” Ye Xiong became a bit embarrassed as it seemed she had misunderstood him. “What I mean is, it’s dangerous for you to stay in Macau. I’ve incapacitated Wang Guo, and if he can’t get to me, I’m afraid he and his son will take it out on you, to harm you. After all, once I leave, I can’t protect you all the time.”
So that was what he meant, Xia Qiqi felt somewhat embarrassed.
“I’ve been living in Macau since I was young, if I leave here, where can I go?”
“I have a friend in the Capital City, once you get there, they will arrange a place for you to stay, and they will find you a stable job. Xia Qiqi, you can’t keep going like this, gambling is deadly, if you continue like this, your life will be ruined,” Ye Xiong said earnestly.

“Are you from the Capital City?” Xia Qiqi asked.
“Sort of, but I live in Jiangnan,” he replied.
Xia Qiqi’s face showed a look of disappointment. At first, she thought that him asking her to go to the Capital City meant she would be staying by his side, but now it seemed that he had no such intention.
In his eyes, she really had no place at all.
Women are complex creatures; if Ye Xiong had asked her to go to Jiangnan, she would have thought he had some ulterior motive.
Xia Qiqi wanted to refuse, but to refuse would make him think she wanted to go with him to Jiangnan. Moreover, she also felt the need to leave the place, otherwise, Wang Jiang and his son would definitely not let her and her brother off.
“I agree, I will go to the Capital City with my brother,” she said.
“That settles it, then.”
The two returned to the dining table and just sat down when Tang Ning asked, “Sister Qiqi, what are your plans?”
“Ye Xiong just discussed it with me. I’m planning to leave Macau with my brother…”
“Cousin-in-law, is this really fair to your cousin?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning’s face immediately turned sour, and she pouted. “Cousin cried so many tears during the time you went missing, so many sleepless nights, and here you are, not even missing for ten days, and you’ve already tricked another woman into going back with you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Ye Xiong’s face turned dark in an instant. What did this foolish cousin mean by that?
“Having messed up Wang Guo the way I did, knowing his personality, he won’t let Xia Qiqi and her brother off if we leave. That’s why they must leave Macau,” Ye Xiong explained.
“Where do they plan to go?”
“They’re going to Kyoto first. I’ve arranged for people over there to take care of them.”
Relieved to hear Ye Xiong say that, Tang Ning let out a breath, “So that’s it. I thought you were planning to add her to your harem!”
Ye Xiong picked up his chopsticks and knocked them hard on her head, “Take you, you imbecile. If you spout nonsense again, next time I’ll delay coming to rescue you. Let Wang Guo ‘circle’ and ‘cross’ you, then see if you dare to talk nonsense again.”
Tang Ning rubbed her head and complained to Yang Xinyi, “Cousin, Brother-in-law is bullying me.”
“You deserve it, spouting all that nonsense,” Yang Xinyi scolded.
Chen Xiao burst into hearty laughter and stretched out his hand, “Tang Ning, you have to honor the bet, one hundred bucks.”
“One hundred then, here you go.” Taking out a hundred-yuan bill, Tang Ning passed it over.
“What’s this all about?” Ye Xiong asked curiously.
“We were betting on whether you’d take Qiqi back to Jiangnan or not. She said you would, I said you wouldn’t,” explained Chen Xiao.
Ye Xiong’s face darkened once more, feeling the urge to leap over and give Tang Ning, this niece always pointing in the wrong direction, a serious knock on the head.
Even Chen Xiao believed in him, yet his own cousin doubted him.
What did she take him for?
Amidst laughter and conversation, the meal quickly passed by.
Afterward, Ye Xiong had Chen Xiao give Xia Qiqi and Xia Youcai a sum of money, telling them to pack their things before heading to the provincial city to catch a ride to the capital.
When leaving, Xia Qiqi seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
“Don’t worry. When you get there, people will be arranged to take care of you,” Ye Xiong comforted her.
Xia Qiqi nodded and then she left with Xia Youcai.
As she was leaving, Xia Qiqi felt her heart was more desolate than it had ever been before.
Once they were safely away, Ye Xiong and his group got on the vehicle back to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan City, rental apartment.
Yang Xiaoqiao was exhausted after a day’s work; once she returned to the rented room, she collapsed on the bed and didn’t want to move an inch.
For some reason, she felt particularly tired these past few days, often feeling dizzy and sleepy, with no enthusiasm for work at all.
Ten days had gone by, and that guy had not called once. His phone was even turned off. What was he up to?
Could it be that, like other lousy men, after taking her first time, he had just completely forgotten about her?
“Why so glum? Did you get your heart broken?” her roommate and colleague Zhang Xiaoyan asked.
