Strategy to Capture Men

man.
Qiao Wenxing felt dazed and powerless.

Fortunately, he had to go to the hospital to visit his mother, and Father Qiao didn't insist on the three of them having dinner together.

When they emerged from the study, all Qiao Wenxing wanted was to get out quickly.
Qiao Chengyu stopped him.
“Elder Brother.”

Catching up in two steps, he said, “Yanyan has been very worried about you.
Once Auntie gets better, bring sister-in-law home, and four of us can go out to eat something simple together.”

Qiao Wenxing thought of Han Yanyan, his former fiancee, and Bai Yue, his current wife.
A little embarrassed, he nodded in agreement.
He has been wandering in the world for over a year, and his former pride was now worn away.
Before his aggressive half-brother, he was now firmly suppressed.

On the way to the hospital, he finally remembered Bai Yue.
A night and a day and passed and he hadn't come home, yet Bai Yue hadn't even called? It felt odd.
He pulled up her phone number on his screen, then hesitated, and finally turned off the phone.
Just for a little bit…
he wanted some peace and quiet.

Mother and son didn't hold grudges.
Though Mother Qiao was disappointed and angry with Qiao Wenxing, upon seeing his depressed appearance, her heart felt distressed for him.
Crying bitterly, she forgave him.
All she could do was blame Bai Yue, that little fox, for having stolen away her excellent son and made him lose his qualifications to be heir.

As he listened to her curse Bai Yue non-stop, Qiao Wenxing did not dare tell her that not only had he had married Bai Yue, but she was pregnant with a child.
He thought that he would wait for a while, and when his mother calmed down, then he would tell her.

Since he had gone missing for a full day, Assistant Feng called.
But now that Qiao Wenxing had gone home, he no longer cared about his small, barely-surviving company.
He decided that he would close it down.

He asked her casually how Bai Yue was doing.
Assistant Feng said that Bai Yue hadn't called the company to find him.
Though there was unease in his heart, Qiao Wenxing  didn't want to face her, not when he had suddenly run away.
He convinced himself not to call.

It was only three days after Bai Yue lost her child and almost bled to death when he found out what happened.
The person who called him in the end was his brother-in-law, who asked him angrily where he had gone.
Where was he fooling around while Brother Bai's sister was lying in the hospital?

At this time, Qiao Wenxing had just picked up his mother and taken her home.
He was shocked to hear the news.

He told his mother that he had to go back to M City to take care of something, but noticing something off, Mother Qiao forced the entire sordid story of his marriage to Bai Yue, her pregnancy, and miscarriage out of him.
Mother Qiao turned pale with anger.
But her son had already been seduced, and by the anxious look on his face she didn't think she could stop him.
Throwing up her hands and letting him go in the wrong direction he had chosen, Mother Qiao simply turned away from Qiao Wenxing, furious.

However, he was still her son.
As Qiao Wenxing was about to leave, his mother called to him, “Take some people with you.”

Qiao Wenxing returned to M City no longer as the owner of a small, struggling business, but as the young master of the Qiao Family.
Even if he was no longer heir, such an identity was unattainable for an ordinary person.

When he saw Bai Yue again, though she was out of physical danger, her face was white and bloodless, her eyes blank and distant, and as weak as though she had lost her soul.
She lay there dully as he approached.
It took a little while for her to understand that he was there, then tears rolled down from her eyes.

He had left her selfishly just when something like this happened.
Guilty and distressed, Qiao Wenxing took her in his arms and repeatedly apologized.
“I'm sorry, I'm sorry!”

Bai Yue was out of breath from crying, but she kept shaking her head.

“What happened?”

She looked down and said through her tears, “I slipped and fell.”

Qiao Wenxing frowned, looked up, and saw the Bai parents standing to the side looking strange, their eyes flashing.
