Chapter 617: Chapter 606: Zhan Qipei Witnesses the Scene

Wu Xirui immediately clutched his chest, feigning a look of unbearable pain on his face. The wine glass in his hand slipped and smashed onto the floor, emitting a crisp sound.

Shards of glass scattered everywhere, and the dark red wine spread along the glass fragments on the floor, blossoming into eerie blood-red flowers.

Qiao Jing hadn’t expected anything like this to happen. After freezing for a second, she quickly regained her composure and leaned towards Wu Xirui, placing her hands near several acupoints on his chest and gently pressing down.

"What’s the matter, did you smoke when you went in?"

This was clearly Wu Xirui’s usual reaction when his illness acted up, but having an attack here was inconvenient—there was nowhere to perform acupuncture, and the crowded, bustling environment was far from quiet.

Wu Xirui, pretending to be in distress, shook his head, and a cold sweat began to form on his forehead.

"Just one puff... only took one puff..."

He had just received the news while in the private room that Zhan Qipei had finished discussing a partnership and was heading out, so he immediately left that deal behind and rushed out.

He had timed everything so that just as Qiao Jing was pressing his acupoints, Zhan Qipei would arrive in the lobby and witness the scene of Qiao Jing giving him the massage.

By then, Zhan Qipei would surely suspect that something intimate happened between him and Qiao Jing, leading to a fierce argument.

No man could ever accept the betrayal of his woman, not even the slightest hint of flirting with another man, and Zhan Qipei was no different—in fact, even more so.

Upon learning that Wu Xirui had smoked, Qiao Jing’s brows tightly furrowed, and she said in a cold voice,

"Lie down."

She had to press a few acupoints on Wu Xirui first to alleviate his condition. Otherwise, it would certainly get worse.

The scene attracted the attention of passersby, who cast curious glances their way.

The waiter, seeing this, immediately came over to inquire.

"Hello, what happened here? Can I help you with anything? Do you need an ambulance?"
