Xu Wan was stunned—She even received such treatment?

Gosh, could Qiao Chen be more normal? Could he not act like he had ulterior motives regarding her?

Qiao Chen saw that Xu Wan was still in a daze and couldn’t resist his urge to reach out to rub Xu Wan’s head. “Are you still asleep? Lazy bum.”

Xu Wan glared at Qiao Chen annoyingly. “Today is my laboratory class. I sought permission from my teacher to take leave today so I will not go to class.”

“Do outstanding students skip classes too?” Qiao Chen shot Xu Wan a surprised glance. “Haven’t you always been a good girl?”

Xu Wan obviously couldn’t tell him she didn’t go to her laboratory class because she was pregnant and didn’t want to come into contact with chemicals.

“Didn’t you skip class before?” Xu Wan looked at Qiao Chen speechlessly. She didn’t believe that any university student would never skip classes.

Qiao Chen smiled when he heard Xu Wan’s words. “You’re right. I rarely attended my classes when I was in school.”

“…”

Nevertheless, Xu Wan had heard of Qiao Chen’s glorious deeds before.

He entered an elite university in the country’s TOP1. Then, he studied abroad for two years, receiving full marks for all his subjects while doing a double degree. He started a private investment fund while he was still at school and earned a net profit of five billion in just two years.

Earning five billion from scratch as a university student was undoubtedly a legendary story.

At that moment, that legend was standing in front of Xu Wan, flexing in a flippant tone that he hardly attended classes when he was in school.

Xu Wan felt this guy was bragging to her.

“If you are not going for your lesson, you can go look at the shops my dad left for you. It’s in the old district. Although that place isn’t worth much now, when the metro line is built to that place in the future, the value of those shops will increase by 50 times, or even more. My dad was probably afraid of leaving too much money for you lest you get targeted by thieves, so he specially left you a few low-key inheritances.” Qiao Chen sighed. “He beat me up quite a lot when I was young, but he treated you very well. It’s really sad.”

Xu Wan did not expect the Old Master to carefully choose those shops for her. She was touched.

She was also taken aback by Qiao Chen’s sharp foresight. He could actually predict the future developments of the city. No wonder he was the most famous investor in the country.

“That’s because you’ve never listened to him since you were young. Uncle Qiao actually cared a lot for you, and he’s also very concerned with news about you. Before you had invested in a project, even though he would mention nothing, he’d secretly suppress those who opposed you and clear the obstacles for you. You don’t know these, right?”

Xu Wan recalled that when Uncle Qiao was still alive, he was always at odds with Qiao Chen. She couldn’t help but feel a little regret. Truth to be told, Uncle Qiao loved Qiao Chen very much.

“I actually didn’t know about that. It seems like you’ve understood him much more than I do from spending all these years with him.” Qiao Chen sighed. “Tell me more next time. I had always thought that there was still a lot of time for me to spend with him, but I didn’t expect him to leave so quickly.”

A hint of sorrow flashed across Qiao Chen’s otherwise distant eyes.

Xu Wan was a little moved at the sight of that. Apparently, that man could show his emotions, too.

Qiao Chen went to work. After a while, Judy brought the Qiao family’s chefs over.

“Miss, I knew that Third Master still had you in his heart. Look, he brought you to his home!” Judy was thrilled for Xu Wan.

Xu Wan couldn’t tell her she and Qiao Chen were just in a business relationship.

“I want to go out later. Come with me,” said Xu Wan.

“Alright, I’ll pack up first.” Judy carried her luggage and said to Xu Wan, “Miss, wait for me!”

Xu Wan sat on the sofa and waited for Judy. Suddenly, she felt nauseous.

She instantly stood up, rushed into the bathroom, and started vomiting.

Pregnancy was not easy. Xu Wan vomited until her face turned pale.

“Hey, what are you doing!” someone chided sharply. Xu Wan turned around and saw a beautiful maid glaring at her.

“I…” Xu Wan was about to speak when the maid covered her nose. “Are you disgusting? You actually vomited in the bathroom. How uncivilized! You’re such a country bumpkin. Do you really think you can become noble just because you hooked up with Master Qiao? “

Xu Wan was a little speechless. Where else could she vomit other than in the bathroom? She would flush it away after vomiting and just needed to spray some air freshener. Why did the maid need to scold her like that?

“What’s wrong Jenny?” A few servants heard the commotion and walked over.

“Look at this woman. She doesn’t have any manners at all. She vomited so much in the bathroom. Isn’t she disgusting?” Jenny stood, arms akimbo. Her expression was nasty. She looked at Xu Wan as if she was a fly or a rat. Her face was filled with disgust.

“Aiya, why are you so unruly? Miss Bai Zhen wouldn’t be like this. Miss Bai Zhen loves cleanliness the most…”

“Who’s going to clean up? I’m not going anyway…”



The servants were discussing noisily while they glared at Xu Wan in disgust..
