My CEO Husband Can Hear My Inner Thoughts

Chapter 12

Qi Weiran fell silent for a moment.

"What else did she teach you?" Qi Xinian asked.

Qi Xinian pondered for a moment and decided not to mention the matter of the Lonely X yet. Instead, he said, "Nothing else."

After some thought, Qi Weiran suddenly asked, "What does she usually do?"

Without thinking too much about the question, Qi Xinian tightened his legs and spoke with a hint of fear in his voice, "Little uncle, you shouldn't provoke that woman."

"She's very frightening, she might... cut off Little Ji Ji!"

Although it was the first time he had heard that term, Qi Weiran understood from his body language which part he was referring to.

"... Did you see her... cut?" Qi Xinian's expression became complicated.

Qi Weiran nodded and then shook his head. At the time, he ran away, so he didn't witness the entire process.

Even Qi Weiran, who rarely felt uncomfortable in his body, rarely experienced a headache. He realized that apart from the superficial investigation before marriage, he knew almost nothing about this woman.

He had no idea that Yi Qingju, who had sold him out, was currently indulging herself in the living room outside, eating to her heart's content.

Bodyguard Zhang Wei shifted his gaze away from the sight of her devouring food like a starving ghost.

On the other hand, Wan Sui stood beside Yi Qingju and asked, "Madam, would you like me to explain the situation outside?"

Busy stuffing food into her mouth, Yi Qingju didn't seem very interested.

After all, when the soul of the Black Robe Road left that body, Little Ji Ji had already told her, excitedly mentioning that he had a surprise for her.

Seeing that Yi Qingju was too absorbed in eating to respond, Wan Sui took it as her agreement and began to speak, "Somehow, the intruders managed to infiltrate the hotel's security system and trapped everyone inside."

"After someone called the police, they quickly surrounded the entire hotel."

"When you called Mr. Qi, he was already on his way here."

Yi Qingju paused for a moment, realizing why Qi Weiran had arrived so quickly.

The rest of the story was straightforward. Qi Xinian led his private army like a hero, assisting the police in taking control of the situation and successfully capturing the mentally unstable criminals.

As for why the police couldn't solve the problem but Qi Xinian could, and why there was talk of private armies and such, well, just don't ask. The answer was that this was what a global tycoon who controlled the world's fate should be able to do.

Upon hearing the reminder from the system in her mind, Yi Qingju, who had originally intended to stuff the entire xiaolongbao into her mouth, closed it instantly.

So when Qi Xinian came out, all he saw was Yi Qingju lowering her head, studying the xiaolongbao in her plate.

Wan Sui, who had taken in all the changes in Yi Qingju, had a complicated look in her eyes.

Do you love him so much, Yi Qingju?

As if just realizing Qi Xinian's presence, Yi Qingju stood up and never glanced at the xiaolongbao again.

Her heart and eyes were filled only with the person in front of her.

[My Crown Princess~ You must wait for me to come back. I will never let you and our child down!]

Qi Xinian: "..."

Even if he knew that her words and actions didn't align, what could he do about it?

Words fail to express what he felt, and he wouldn't miss a single word.

"Sir..." Yi Qingju looked up at him with teary eyes.

Qi Xinian remained unmoved as he handed the little bun in his arms to her.

"Have Niu ZhanShi take off his mask."

Then he walked past her.

Holding the already asleep Qi Xinian in his arms, Yi Qingju stood in place, looking completely bewildered.

"What's a 'Cow Warrior'?"

[He's not young anymore, yet he still enjoys watching animated films. Isn't Qi Weiran embarrassed?]

Qi Weiran halted his steps.

Slowly turning around, his piercing amber eyes firmly locked onto the figure in a white dress, who had deviated from her usual style, wearing a loose hoodie but still maintaining her slender figure.

"From now on, Qi Xinian won't need a private tutor. You'll be the one to teach him."

As Yi Qingju turned her head, she looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

A barely noticeable curve formed at the corner of Qi Weiran's lips.

"If you can't teach him well, I'll find a new wife to inherit the family fortune."

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the room was shocked.

Only Wan Sui noticed the fleeting smirk at the corner of Qi Weiran's lips.

Since she had started following Qi Weiran, when had she ever seen him smile?

Especially with this... budding with affection, mischievous smile?

Once she accepted this scenario, Wan Sui's gaze towards her own CEO became increasingly strange.

Goosebumps covered her entire body.

After Qi Weiran left, Yi Qingju really wanted to put the child down and vent her frustration by throwing a series of punches in the air.

However, a group of well-trained men in suits, armed with guns, appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her.

These people didn't utter a word; they simply silently encircled Yi Qingju.

When she glanced at the emblem carved on their collars, depicting a strange bird with a human face, Yi Qingju averted her gaze.

Human-faced Kunpeng.

That was the Qi family's family emblem.

These people were sent by Qi Weiran to protect her and Qi Xinian.

Once she calmed down, Yi Qingju held the child firmly and walked outward without any disturbances.

She knew that Qi Weiran's threat was just empty words.

A lot of people had gathered outside the door, and if it weren't for the police's control, those journalists who had been squatting here for a long time would have likely rushed in.

The people sent by Qi Weiran kept her so well guarded that not even a glimpse of her head was seen. Under their protection, Yi Qingju calmly sat in the car, holding the child.

He was protecting Qi Xinian, otherwise she wouldn't have received such treatment.

Little Jiji wanted to ask why Qi Weiran didn't hold the child himself.

But in the end, she didn't say anything.

Without Qi Weiran in the car, Yi Qingju didn't need to maintain her public image.

She leaned her head against the window and absentmindedly gazed outside.

In fact, since the moment Qi Weiran threatened her, Yi Qingju didn't feel any panic in her heart. Instead, she felt a strange sense of relief.

For an ordinary person to marry a billionaire she didn't love, and then inherit his fortune after his death, who wouldn't crack a big smile and roll their eyes?

But since Yi Qingju discovered that Qi Weiran's body was becoming stronger day by day, her enthusiasm for being a wealthy widow gradually faded, until the day when Qi Weiran coughed, reminding her that she still had some dark assets.

She asked Little Jiji, and in the book, Yi Qingju died in her forties due to her long-standing melancholy, dying before Qi Weiran.

Knowing the ultimate outcome if she kept listening to the "Out of Character (OOC) Crimes Not Punishable by Death" system, Yi Qingju absolutely wouldn't allow herself to follow that old path.

Things couldn't go on like this anymore. Even if it meant planning for her future self, she had to find a way to make money.

Glancing at the driver, who was focused on driving, through the rearview mirror, Yi Qingju discreetly took out a small and delicate senior citizen's phone from her pocket, taking cover behind Qi Xinian in her embrace.

Being a wealthy wife wasn't all for nothing.

In various fields on the market, all under the leadership of the Qi family, they were gradually becoming saturated. However, there was one industry that Yi Qingju knew of that the Qi family didn't pay any attention to.

And coincidentally, it was also the field that Yi Qingju excelled in the most.
