Chapter 109

Everyone burst out laughing.

"So, your marriage with Qin Xian is a happy one, huh?" Guo Yalan teased.

Ji Fei was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to respond. She glanced at Qin Xian, and instead of his usual dark, brooding eyes, she saw a pair that resembled a clear lake, shimmering with tiny specks of light under the moonlight. Upon closer inspection, those specks seemed to form her entire figure, incredibly captivating, making Ji Fei's heart race.

【It's... not bad so far.】

Qin Xian's heart swelled with emotion, and he couldn't help but reach out to hold Ji Fei's hand, intertwining their fingers. This made Ji Fei feel a bit embarrassed.

【Why are you suddenly holding my hand!】

Even though he heard her, Qin Xian didn't let go. Instead, he pretended to be calm and changed the subject casually.

“Mom and Dad, along with my eldest sister, are waiting for us. Let's hurry up.” With that, Qin Xian led Ji Fei quickly away from the “third wheels.”

Once they were sure the others wouldn't follow without any sense of propriety, Qin Xian slowed down, almost dragging his feet as he held his wife's hand, walking back to the car, where three more "third wheels" were waiting for them.

The three Qin family members: ...Why are they walking so slowly?

On the way home, everyone was discussing the juicy gossip about the Jing Family. The scandal was so explosive, spanning across multiple lifetimes of several individuals.

The Qin family looked at Ji Fei with even more admiration. Without their precious Ji Fei, some people's lives would have been ruined.

Yet, they couldn't talk about it openly, given the immense gratitude involved. They also couldn't help but look down on Qin Xian, since on the surface, it was Qin Xian who had exposed everything. The Jing Family would probably find a way to thank Qin Xian properly.

The Qin trio: Tsk~ A man living off his wife's fortune!

Once home, everyone naturally returned to their usual social circles.

Of course, the Jing Family's scandal about the switched child had already exploded in every social circle, even more sensational than past high-profile scandals. This wasn't just because the scandal itself was powerful, but also due to the Jing Family's deliberate efforts to fan the flames.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Madam Xie must have arranged for people to guide the narrative in various circles," Qin Xian said, stepping out of the bathroom after his shower, hearing Ji Fei's mumbling.

Qin Xian was now quite accomplished, basically living with Ji Fei, even moving all his toiletries and clothes to her place.

It was the result of his relentless efforts.

However, in the eyes of the other Qin family members, he was just too pathetic. After all this time, all he had achieved was sleeping in the same bed. Who would believe that?

Ji Fei, seeing Qin Xian come out, immediately complained, "You know, with tonight's scandal being so huge, why are so many netizens still focusing on me?"

Qin Xian leaned over to take a look. Ji Fei was surfing the web on his work computer. Besides the Jing Family's dramatic saga of love and revenge, Ji Fei's popularity was still quite high.

It was as if the saying was true: Even when she's not in the spotlight, the world is full of Ji Fei's legends.

"Fei Jie, how did you end up at the scene again!"

"Fei Jie's gossip field must have so many surprises I don't even know about!"

"Fei Jie's fans are enjoying the world first, Fei Jie's gossip field is even more dramatic than I imagined."

This is the kind of heat that other celebrities can't latch onto; only the Fei Gate Followers are in a frenzy.

"Fei Jie is the goddess of gossip in ancient Greece!"

...

Then, there were lists of various scandalous events where Ji Fei was present, making it clear that certain labels were impossible to shake off.

【At this rate, everyone will start avoiding me, and how will I get to enjoy the thrill of being at the scene for more gossip? Sure, eating gossip through the system is fine, but it's not as exciting as being there in person.】

Ji Fei was quite resentful.

Although Qin Xian had already contacted Sister Pei to manage the public opinion, the fans' admiration was still hard to diminish.

He could only pat Ji Fei's head and say, "Don't worry, I'll take you to any gossip scene you want to be at."

Using his CEO powers for this purpose, Qin Xian was definitely the first of his kind.

Ji Fei couldn't help but laugh.

The next day, the Jing Family trio came to their door, bringing heavy gifts to thank Qin Xian. Qin Xian immediately said it was all Ji Fei's merit, as she reminded him.

Jing Yan, though not fully recovered, still smiled and said, "Don't worry, your affection for your wife is already well-known in the circle, so the gifts we prepared were originally for Ji Fei."

Jing Yan was also very thoughtful, having seen Qin Xian prepare gifts for Ji Fei before, so this time, the gifts were carefully chosen to be collectible and with potential for appreciation.

Ji Fei was so happy when she counted them that night that her mouth couldn't stop smiling.

Later, Cen Ting also came to give thanks, as they had saved her.

A few days later, it was rumored that the Jing Family was determined to sue Madam Wan, who was sure to go to prison for a long time.

Several of Wan's important business deals had been secured through Jing Yan, so when Jing Yan expressed his stance, Wan's company almost immediately faced a broken capital chain, causing the tree to fall and the monkeys scatter. Wan's husband directly fled, leaving Madam Wan with nothing, his only conscience being taking the mentally and emotionally damaged Wan Ru abroad with him.

Madam Wan's family of origin also cut ties with her, stating they were unaware of her actions and would not intervene in the future.

So, no one would come to Madam Wan's rescue. It was said that Madam Wan was constantly going crazy and causing trouble, but the Jing Family was keeping a tight lid on it, ensuring she couldn't use a mental illness excuse to escape her punishment.

With Wan Ru's departure, the responsibility for the drug-induced framing fell solely on Jing Yu, who suffered some consequences. Eventually, he would be released, but the Jing Family had already decided, out of consideration for the eldest son's only heir, to send him abroad and keep him under control.

Soon after, the Jing Family held a grand ceremony to officially adopt a child, inviting guests to show that their family would remain stable and still a powerful force.

Ji Fei and Qin Xian also attended, but everything went smoothly, with no new gossip.

It was from Yu Yue that they heard a piece of gossip.

Although it was kept secret, Yu Yue didn't care about his father's embarrassment and shared it with his friends.

【Shocking, taking medication to boost his masculinity and ending up with problems—this Yu father is really going all out... Wait, isn't his new wife pregnant? Why would he need to take medication? Oh... He took medication for his wife before, but after stopping, the residual effects piled up and exploded, tsk tsk.】

Yu Yue complained, "Hmph, his body is ruined, and though he's not completely impotent, he'll never be a father again. His only descendants are me and the child that hasn't been born yet, meaning he'll always lose to his uncles. I wonder if it's karma."

"Don't say that," Bai Xiaoxi frowned slightly, sounding serious.

Yu Yue quickly comforted his wife.

The others didn't say much, just curious if the previous wedding could still happen since he was hospitalized.

Yu Yue shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

But soon, they received a notice: the wedding would be delayed by a week, the reason being that Ke Yun'er was unwell and needed to take care of her pregnancy.

But in reality...
