Chapter 42: Chapter 42 True FaceSu Qingqing rubbed her forehead, sighed, and then walked straight ahead without saying another word.

    In her opinion, Ye Huan was beyond help, to the point where he could even say something as ridiculous as the president being his wife. It was unimaginable how far his delusions had progressed.

    "Hey!" Ye Huan caught up, "Minister Su, do you still not believe me?"

    Su Qingqing stopped and said, "Ye Huan, I suggest you get your head checked at a psychiatric hospital and, by the way, ask how to treat daydreams!"

    "Why don’t you believe me? My wife is really the president!"

    "Who would believe that? The president is a dream girl for so many men. Who could win her over? You’re just dreaming!" Su Qingqing glared angrily at Ye Huan and continued walking.

    Ye Huan shrugged helplessly.

    These days, why does no one believe the truth?

    Soon, they arrived at the bottom of an apartment building.

    Watching the woman running toward him, Ye Huan’s eyes gradually narrowed into slits.

    "Qingqing, you’re finally back, are you hurt?" Huang Qiqing asked excitedly, hugging Su Qingqing.

    "I’m fine, I’m fine." Su Qingqing laughed, "What are you doing here?"

    "I was waiting for you." Huang Qiqing breathed a sigh of relief, "When I was coming back from the restroom, I saw a group of big men rush into a box, so I didn’t dare go in. I couldn’t reach you on the phone, so I waited here under the apartment building."

    Su Qingqing took out her phone and, sure enough, saw a series of missed calls. She apologized, "I didn’t notice my phone, sorry about that."

    "As long as you’re fine, everything else doesn’t matter." Huang Qiqing asked with a ’concerned’ look, "What were those people up to? What happened at the Royal Court?"

    "Those people..."

    Su Qingqing was about to recount what happened, but saying it would surely unsettle Huang Qiqing.

    She shook her head, smiled, and said, "Nothing much, those people just went into the wrong box and left later."

    "That’s good, but..."

    Huang Qiqing smirked mischievously, "Qingqing, I didn’t expect you to be so close with Ye Huan, cohabiting and all. Am I disturbing you two by coming here?"

    "We’re not cohabiting!" Su Qingqing’s face was full of shame and anger, "He’s just a tag-along with nothing to do and followed me. I’ll send him away now."

    With that, she turned to Ye Huan, "You should leave now, I’m home!"

    "I’ve walked you all the way home, aren’t you going to let me up for a cup of tea?" Ye Huan protested.

    "No way!"

    "That’s biased!" Ye Huan said, "I’m just as tired as Huang, so why can she stay and I can’t?"

    Su Qingqing put her hands on her hips and said, "Because she’s my best friend, and you’re nothing."

    Just as tired?

    Ye Huan’s words made Huang Qiqing’s eyes flicker wildly and she felt guilty.

    She stopped her rapid breathing, forcing it to become much more even.

    She was a bit flustered inside, could it be that her odd behavior had been discovered?

    In fact, she had watched everything that happened at the Royal Court through surveillance at the Emperor KTV, then ran over to arrive at the apartment building before Su Qingqing.

    "Huang, why is your face so red?" Ye Huan asked with a hint of implication.

    "I...I’m a bit hot, it’s Indian summer right now." Huang Qiqing smiled, her face red from the run, her forehead covered with beads of sweat.

    "Go quickly, Huang this and Huang that, as if you’re very familiar." Su Qingqing hurried.

    "Then I’ll go, don’t miss me too much."

    "Miss you? Get lost!" Su Qingqing said through gritted teeth, waving him off like a fly.

    Ye Huan laughed and turned away.

    Seeing Ye Huan disappear from view, Huang Qiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Qingqing, it’s so late, can I stay the night?" Huang Qiqing smiled.

    "Of course, we haven’t seen each other for so long. Let’s share a bed tonight." Su Qingqing said happily, pulling Huang Qiqing upstairs.

    Huang Qiqing let herself be pulled along, but a sinister grin formed on her lips, and a flash of malice crossed her eyes...

    ...

    "Qingqing, I never thought we could reconcile."

    "Yes, we should have been good friends back in college, instead of wasting four years!"

    Su Qingqing and Huang Qiqing each held a bottle of canned ice cola, clinking them together.

    They had just finished bathing and were sitting on the bed, wrapped in bathrobes, a fragrant scent emanating from them.

    "By the way, Qiqing, how are things with Wang Gang?" Su Qingqing asked with a smile.

    Huang Qiqing shrugged helplessly and said, "We got married afterward, but we couldn’t return to the state of when we first fell in love, so we divorced when it became unbearable."

    "I see." Su Qingqing looked regretful, then asked urgently, "Qiqing, please believe me, there was nothing between Wang Gang and me..."

    "Qingqing, stop talking about it, it’s all in the past!"

    Huang Qiqing hurriedly covered Su Qingqing’s mouth.

    But inside, she was seething with anger.

    Wang Gang and she were childhood sweethearts, growing up together with deep feelings, starting their relationship in junior high.

    They were passionately in love until high school senior year, but due to the immense study pressure, Wang Gang often argued with Huang Qiqing, and the flames of their relationship seemed to be dying...

    Desperately trying to save it, Huang Qiqing ultimately chose to forgo the opportunity to study at Cambridge and went to the same college as Wang Gang.

    But as soon as college started, she found Wang Gang captivated by Su Qingqing, this ’enchantress.’

    Wang Gang frequently expressed his liking for Su Qingqing in front of her, and even invited Su Qingqing out many times.

    Although Su Qingqing refused all invitations, after this incident, the whole class knew that Huang Qiqing’s childhood sweetheart confessed to Su Qingqing.

    Since then, Huang Qiqing and Su Qingqing were completely at odds. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The entire heart of Huang Qiqing was full of jealousy.

    If Su Qingqing wasn’t so pretty, didn’t act so pure, how could Wang Gang have been infatuated with her? How could he?

    What really made Huang Qiqing bear a grudge against Su Qingqing actually was a secret incident.

    Once, she bought several sets of unique outfits to surprise Wang Gang and win him back.

    The effect was indeed good, Wang Gang was very pleased!

    Huang Qiqing was thrilled, believing Wang Gang would return. But at night, as they slept, Wang Gang shouted Su Qingqing’s name in his sleep!

    Recalling this, Huang Qiqing was filled with rage, trembling uncontrollably.

    "By the way, Qingqing." Huang Qiqing’s eyes were filled with malice as she said, "Over the years, I started a small company, but due to poor management, it suffered losses, and I owe a lot of high-interest loans. The payments are due soon."

    "Ah?"

    Su Qingqing exclaimed, "Why didn’t you tell me? I still have some savings; you can use them to tide over this emergency?"

    Inside, Huang Qiqing’s resentment grew even stronger.

    Pretending to be a good person, you’ll have your moment soon!

    "It’s not about the money; I’ll be paying off the debts soon. But I need your help with another thing..."

    "No problem, I’ll do anything to help you!" Su Qingqing said resolutely, patting her chest with determination.

    Huang Qiqing displayed a meaningful expression and said, "You’ll know then, you’ll definitely be able to help me!"

    "Okay." Su Qingqing smiled and nodded.

    The two clinked their bottles again, and Su Qingqing finished her cola in one go, letting out a satisfied belch, "So refreshing!"

    Huang Qiqing’s lips curled into a cold smile.

    Refreshing?

    Just wait, you’ll feel refreshed soon enough!

    Three minutes later, Su Qingqing’s face was flushed, and she kept exhaling heat.

    She picked up the air conditioner remote, puzzled, "The temperature is set to the lowest, so why is it still so hot?"

    "Is it acting so fast?" Huang Qiqing was surprised for a moment, then coldly laughed, "But that’s good, it’s almost time."

    She clapped her hands.

    "Qiqing, what...what are you saying?"

    Su Qingqing’s eyes became dazed, and she asked in confusion.

    In the next moment, the door was kicked open.

    Su Qingqing shivered, her senses suddenly much clearer.

    Seeing the person who came in, her face turned panic-stricken.

    "Xie...Xie Feng?"
