Chapter 826 - 826 812 Get me out (1)

Chapter 826: 812, Get me out (1) Chapter 826: 812, Get me out (1) Quan Jingwu’s thin lips curved slightly, and he turned his head to kiss her cheek, “Why is my wife so adorable, hmm?”

Jian Qing glared at him coquettishly before turning around and burying herself in his embrace.

Zhou Qi and the others had hurt her mother, and so many years had passed, yet the old master of the An Family had let them off scot-free, living their lives in ease. How could she swallow this grievance?

Quan Jingwu raised his hand to stroke her smooth long hair, whispering close to her ear, “Do whatever you want, follow your own heart. Don’t let regret happen. With me by your side, what are you afraid of, hmm?”

Jian Qing’s lips lifted into a slight smile, rubbing against his chest, then looking up at him, her eyes twinkling with mischief, “Then can I look at pretty young guys?”

“Hmm?” Quan Jingwu expressed his puzzlement at the term “pretty young guys,” his refined eyes looking at her with confusion.

Jian Qing explained, “Pretty young guys are really handsome young men.”

Upon hearing this, Quan Jingwu’s handsome face darkened, and his violet eyes narrowed dangerously, “Baby, are you suggesting that I’ve gotten old?”

His magnetic voice, with a sexy allure, rose slightly at the end of the sentence.

Jian Qing chuckled lightly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, “What do you think?”

Her provocative gaze caused Quan Jingwu’s eyes to darken a shade, and his hand that was entwined around her waist tightened, leaving no space between them.

Looking at the handsome face so close to hers, Jian Qing laughed even more joyously, because she smelled an intense scent of jealousy—so strong it could make someone suffocate.

“Sweetheart, you’re asking for it.” His low and husky voice sounded in her ear, and Jian Qing sensed danger. Before she could flee, the world spun around her.

“Hey, Xiao Jing…”

She called out softly, and by the time she came back to her senses, they were both tumbling onto the sofa.

As she looked up inadvertently into the depths of the man’s unfathomable eyes, the dazzling crystal violet entranced her.

Seeing her gaze fixed on him as if mesmerized, Quan Jingwu’s lips curved up, and he leaned in, his cool lips precisely capturing that hint of red.

“Xiao Jing, our Seventeen and the others…”

Jian Qing wanted to say that their two little treasures were still around, but Mr. Quan cut her off directly, “They’re sleeping, and won’t wake up anytime soon.”

As he spoke, clothes slid to the floor, scattering over the pristine white carpet.

…

“Mrs. An, please this way.”

In the empty corridor, cells appeared on both sides every few steps. Despite the brightly lit space, a chill still hung in the air.

Zhao Xuan surveyed her surroundings with a look of disdain and impatience flashing in her eyes.

“Mrs. An, we don’t have much time. If you have something to say, please do so quickly,” the prison guard said.

Zhao Xuan nodded, waited for the guard to leave, and then approached An Man’s cell.

As soon as she came close, An Man noticed her arrival.

An Man, dropping the photo she had been holding, climbed off the bed and ran over, her gaunt hands grabbing the bars of the cell, her emotions somewhat agitated.

Her yellowed face displayed a mocking smile, “Sister-in-law, seeing you is truly harder than ascending to the heavens.”

She had asked her mother and Arong to relay to Zhao Xuan to come and see her several times. After such a long wait without seeing anyone, was Zhao Xuan coming now because she couldn’t wait any longer?

Zhao Xuan suppressed the disgust in her eyes and squeezed out a smile, “Aman, what are you talking about? I’ve been too busy with some matters recently, so I haven’t been able to find the time to visit you.”

“Oh, is that so?” An Man coldly chuckled, clearly not believing her words.

“I’ve asked mom and Arong to relay the message to you so many times. You couldn’t spare the time to visit even once in several months. Could it be that you are even busier than dad?”

The mocking tone irritated Zhao Xuan, but then she thought of Xiang Cheng, who was still under her control, and she felt her confidence bolster.

She gave a subtle, meaningful smile and said, “Aman, I’ve been busy, but not with something else. The reason I haven’t visited for so long is precisely because I’ve been busy with your affairs.”

Seeing the smile on her face, An Man suddenly had a bad premonition.

“What do you mean by that?”

“A few months ago, there were some issues with Xiang Cheng. Considering mom’s advanced age and that she can’t handle so much, I told her to let me take care of Xiang Cheng,” Zhao Xuan explained at a leisurely pace as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

An Man’s heart clenched as she glared at Zhao Xuan with a fierce look, “Zhao Xuan, what are you trying to do?”

She didn’t believe for a second that Zhao Xuan would kindly help look after Chengcheng. She must be plotting something against her.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but resent her mother for entrusting Xiang Cheng to Zhao Xuan’s care.

Zhao Xuan looked at her, feigning surprise, “You seem so astonished. Didn’t mom tell you about this?”

“Zhao Xuan, stop playing dumb with me,” An Man glared, seething with anger, “I’m telling you, if you dare harm a single hair on Chengcheng’s head, I will never let you off the hook.”

In response, Zhao Xuan laughed but was not angry, “This is quite funny. I’m taking care of your son for you, and now you are blaming me.”

An Man gripped the pole tightly, veins bulging on her hands, and after a moment, she scoffed with irony, “Zhao Xuan, I’m quite bored in this cell. Why don’t you come and keep me company in here?”

If she dared to threaten her using Xiang Cheng, then she could not blame An Man for being ruthless.

Zhao Xuan’s expression changed, and she locked eyes with her, “What are you trying to do?”

“Zhao Xuan, do you really think nobody knows about the ‘good deed’ you did back then?” Seeing Zhao Xuan’s face change, An Man smiled with satisfaction.

A flicker of panic crossed Zhao Xuan’s mind but was quickly suppressed. She probed, “What happened back then? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

An Man didn’t care about the act, stepping forward, she whispered in a voice only audible to them, “If big brother finds out that you were the main culprit in Jian Qing’s mother’s death, do you think you can still be the peaceful An Family’s second wife?”

Zhao Xuan’s eyes were filled with horror as An Man’s words exploded in her ears.

She did indeed know.

The thing she feared the most had happened.

“Zhao Xuan, don’t think you can control me just because you have Xiang Cheng in your hands. I’ve kept your secret for so many years; I’ve been fair enough,” An Man said coldly.

“I happened to glance at your new car that year. At the time of Jian Wei’s accident, I happened to see your car leaving. If I tell big brother about this, I suppose neither he nor Jian Qing will let you off, and it might even affect your son and daughter.”

Zhao Xuan clutched her purse tightly, her face looking awful.

After a while, her voice hoarse, she said, “Speak then, what’s your condition?”

A gleam of triumph flashed in An Man’s eyes, her tone softening a bit, “Sister-in-law, I don’t really want to oppose you. After all, we’ve always had a good relationship, and I don’t want to quarrel with you so unpleasantly.”

Zhao Xuan remained silent, her face stern.

“I want you to get me out,” An Man looked around and whispered.
