CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 476: FLAUNTING AFFECTION WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD

"Thank you. Thank you."

After a round of pleasantries, the newlyweds left, and Qin Miaomiao watched Wang Zhi’s figure as he walked away, her thoughts seemingly far away.

Lu Qing asked in a low voice:

"What’s the matter?"

She hinted meaningfully:

"That Wang Zhi isn’t the type to behave himself."

Lu Qing scoffed lightly: "He’s nothing more than a hedonistic playboy. The Wang Family’s patriarch only has this one grandson. But after he got remarried to a younger wife, she gave birth to another son, who’s about the same age as Wang Zhi."

"Earlier, that Lin Han’s aunt—she’s the patriarch’s young wife? So that’s why the Wang Family used to be so displeased with you?"

Lu Qing’s lips curled slightly: "The Lin Family has already been driven out of Yan Jing. As for that person from the Lin Family, with the patriarch shielding them, they remain untouched for now."

"So there’s such a tangled web of connections behind all this."

"Mm."

"And what about the child of that person from the Lin Family?"

Lu Qing glanced at the crowd and gestured to her: "That one."

She followed his gaze toward a refined-looking man who was talking to someone.

"And this person...?"

"Wang Ye is someone with ambition. He’ll become the future head of the Wang Family."

"Oh? Why?"

Lu Qing chuckled: "He’s ruthless. The nephew and uncle are locked in an intense rivalry. Wang Zhi deliberately planted a woman near him; Wang Ye accepted her without hesitation. That woman even became pregnant. Wang Zhi intended to use this to ruin him and brought the matter to the patriarch. But Wang Ye turned the tables—the child she’s carrying is Wang Zhi’s."

Qin Miaomiao listened to this soap opera-like tale, completely enthralled: "So dramatic? Isn’t Tang Yuanyuan very pitiful then? Does she know?"

"This matter has been tightly covered up. It’s the Wang Family’s secret."

"If it’s a secret, then how do you know?"

Lu Qing glanced at her, a trace of mischievousness flashing across his face: "Want to find out? Beg me."

Qin Miaomiao: "We’re in public; act proper!"

"What do you think the seven bodyguards usually do?"

Only then did Qin Miaomiao realize what he meant and gave him a thumbs up: "You’re really clever. Is this how you exploit Little sixth and Little seventh?"

"If you want to hear more gossip, I’ll slowly tell you in bed."

"Bedtime stories?"

"Stories... after bed."

Qin Miaomiao stared at him for a while and then muttered faintly:

"The reward after bed—calling it a ’post-bedtime story’?"

Lu Qing’s lips curled into a grin as he praised her: "Smart! My wife and I are truly in sync."

Qin Miaomiao: ...

Her husband’s ability to turn every moment into flirtation was truly wasted on flirting; he should’ve been a pilot instead.

Their voices were soft, and to outsiders, they seemed like a loving couple whispering sweet nothings.

Most of the women there cast subtle, longing glances at Lu Qing, a man embodying irresistible charm.

He was the dream man every woman wished to marry, but unfortunately, he was far too lofty and unattainable. In settings like this, seeing him was nearly impossible.

However, the fact that the Wang Family managed to invite him was already a great honor.

Yet, aside from some occasional half-hearted interactions, most of his time was spent glued to Qin Miaomiao.

At this rate, their public displays of affection were making everyone else want to break down! What’s so great about Qin Miaomiao?

Lu Qing doted on her completely, acting like the perfect husband!

But of course, someone wasn’t ready to give up and approached, intent on striking up a conversation.

A stylishly dressed, stunningly beautiful woman walked over gracefully and spoke in a sweet voice:

"Mr. Lu, hello, I’m Fang Meiling."
