C3 You Think You Deserve to Cheat Me of My Family Property?!

Ding Li's heart began to quiver as he called Qiao Lijing a playboy.

He had a gut feeling that Qiao Lijing shared some unspeakable secret with this lady somewhere out of his knowledge.

Bo Junhuan's smile was particularly stunning, her canines sharp and prominent. When Qiao Lijing first saw her smile, he thought it had a special healing power, but now it was painfully irritating.

"Get the car ready!"

Qiao Lijing's voice was low and tense, barely containing his anger.

Ding Li remained motionless. In frustration, he hurled his phone onto the table, shattering the screen into countless fragments. It was the first time the usually composed and mature Qiao Lijing had ever lost his cool.

"Didn't you hear me? I said get the car ready!"

Perfect, just perfect.

Qiao Lijing was utterly baffled by Bo Junhuan's thoughts.

She was the one who had clung to him relentlessly, and now she seemed to revel in their divorce. She had held onto him that night as if she never wanted to let go, yet now she couldn't wait to leave Jiang City and keep Xiaobai by her side!

Qiao Lijing had to restrain himself for a long time to avoid swearing.

Indeed, he had to admit, he had never really understood the woman he had married.

On their wedding day, he saw Bo Junhuan step out of a luxury car in a lace dress, her face swollen and bruised. Despite it being their first meeting, she had no qualms about rushing up to cling to his arm and affectionately calling him "Brother Lijing."

But of course, that wasn't the main issue.

The crux of the matter was his belief that any self-respecting man would feel utterly humiliated when forced to choose money over dignity.

He had deliberately tried to forget about this incident and erase her from his memory, only to be unexpectedly outmaneuvered by her in the end.

What was this feeling?

Qiao Lijing's heart clenched with discomfort.

Bo Junhuan was blissfully unaware of the looming danger. Upon seeing the live broadcast hit a million viewers, she mused about the abundance of wealth around her. Imagining her future solitude, with only money for company and the ability to find a man more handsome and accomplished than Qiao Lijing, she felt a twisted sense of happiness.

She had escaped the clutches of the playboy and even came out with money in her pocket.

"Seriously, could there be anything more agonizing in the world?" she mused.

The irony of the situation brought a laugh from her, and she bit into her apple with renewed vigor.

While the wealthy placed their bids, those without the means took to the comments section. Speculation arose about whether the hostess was swindling someone out of their estate, a suggestion that did not sit well with Bo Junhuan.

"Swindle his estate? As if he's worth that!"

"I genuinely liked him, truly. No matter what he did before, I was smitten. But he's found his true love now, so why should I hold him back? I'd rather not disclose his identity, but let's just say he's not exactly rolling in dough..."

"And if I were after his estate, would I be offering you all these deals? The villa is going for a steal at 1.5 million. First to bid gets it!"

"Okay, let's hear it from Ranking No.1 first."

"Bo Junhuan!"

Her name, bellowed in anger, caught Bo Junhuan off guard. She looked up, astonished, to find the man she'd longed for standing unexpectedly before her.

"Have you had enough of this charade?"

Qiao Lijing was struggling to contain his fury, while Bo Junhuan, silent, suddenly found her apple tasteless and her smile vanished.

"You're nothing but a liar!"

Qiao Lijing enunciated each word through clenched teeth.

Feeling unjustly accused, Bo Junhuan's temper flared. "What have I lied to you about? The property? They're just a few rundown houses. If it bothers you that much, I'll give them back! Why the hostility? I must have been blind!"

In a swift motion, Qiao Lijing hoisted her up from the couch. The live stream only showed his profile, dark and stormy enough to wring water from. Bo Junhuan's female fans were stirred into a frenzy.

Wow, the playboy is so attractive! Marry me, deceive me!

Qiao Lijing, confronted with her defiant demeanor, hadn't anticipated that their first post-marital encounter would unfold like this.
