Chapter 36: Pleading for Mercy, Don't Make Things Diffi

get me into trouble!" Qiao Ba'er tugged at his arm, complaining like she was making a complaint.A surprised expression flashed across Junzhi's face, and he glanced down. She had wrapped her arms aroun..."What are you doing here!"

When Qiao Bao'er pushed open the ward door, the man inside spoke first with a cold, questioning tone.

Joe Bao'er subconsciously looked at the woman on the hospital bed, paused for a second, and then spoke, "I, I just..."

"Miss Qiao, I'm not feeling well. Zhi Mu has been with me the whole time. We haven't done anything else! Please don't be angry."

However, Liu Yiy's expression on the hospital bed was timid, as if she had been startled by Qiao Baor's sudden appearance. She quickly spoke up, her voice weak and nervously explaining.

"Jo Bao'er, go back immediately!" Jun Zhi Mu's voice was three points colder.

Junzhi Mu turned his eyes to look at Liu Yiy, who was pale and frightened on the bed. She looked like a delicate beauty on the sickbed who had come to be bullied by Qiao Bao'er.

Qiao Baoer felt a little wronged and angry at being shouted at.

"It was grandpa who made me come here! On New Year's Day, Jun Zhimu, you don't go home, just roll wherever you want to go, I'm too lazy to care about you!!"

Jun Zhi's face turned dark.

Jo Baoer turned her face, walked away at a brisk pace without even wanting to look at him.

He almost instinctively went after her, but his right hand was grasped by the woman in the hospital bed.

"Zhimù, please don't make things difficult for her." Liuyīyī said softly.

"Haoran told me before that you got married to her because she was pregnant, so you listened to your grandfather and registered your marriage. She's carrying your child after all, don't be so harsh to her..."

And the floor was really quiet, so quiet that even Qiao Bao'er, who had already walked out the door, could hear the last thing Liu Yiy said.

That woman, using her soft voice, actually pleaded with Jun Zhimu on her behalf. But these words, when Qiao Bao'er heard them, were truly bitter to the heart.

Jo Bao'er didn't hesitate, taking a step and quickly walking toward the elevator. Her steps seemed hurried, as if she was afraid to stay here any longer.

Suddenly she felt like a third wheel between the two of them.

qiao Bao'er raised her lips into a shallow smile, one that seemed both strained and servile.

She knew she had no right to interfere in Junzhi Mu's private affairs, but...

Why was he so cold the moment he spoke It's as if he wouldn't let her off if she had truly hurt Liu Yiy.

Qiao Ba'er was in a bad mood and returned to the Jun family.

"Where is everyone Didn't Junzhi Mu come back with you" Master Jun sat in the main hall, seeing her return, he asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know."

"He's with that actress surnamed Liu!" Lord Jun cursed, his face as dark as thunder.

"Immediately, he looked at Qiao Baier with disdain. "How useless you are! I told you to bring the person back, didn't I On New Year's Day, you don't even keep an eye on your own husband!"

Qiao Bao'er had just been scolded by Jun Zhi Mu in the hospital, and now she was being lectured by this old man again. These two really are unreasonable...

She couldn't bear it any longer and angrily retorted, "If you want Jun Zhimu back, call him yourself. I won't go looking for him!"

After that, Qiao Ba'er didn't bother with the usual reverence she had for elders. She was furious and turned around to go back to her bedroom.

"Stop! I still have something to ask you. How did your talk with that scoundrel at the Qiao family go last time..." Old Master Jun shouted at her back.

Jo Baoer heard the words " Qiao Family," and her steps quickened.

Master Jun was incredulous, watching her storm off in anger. She actually dared to ignore me!!

"Master, I think Madam Young is..." The steward gently tried to persuade him.

"Alright, alright, so now the whole world isn't afraid of me anymore is it! You all act like I'm dead, daring to ignore me!!" Old Master Jun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The butler wore a wry smile. "Sir, the Qiao family just called. They said Young Master personally informed them to cancel the wedding..."

Master Jun was lecturing Qiao Baoer for being disobedient, when he suddenly stiffened. He raised his head, and this time, true anger flashed in his eyes. "What did you just say—"

"The Jun's debt to that woman because of the willow-surnamed woman saying she wants to cancel the wedding! He dares!!" The old man gritted his teeth angrily.

The steward sighed softly, murmuring, "It was indeed the young master who ordered the wedding to be canceled..."

He guessed maybe Qiao Baier was unhappy because the wedding was canceled.

Mr. Jun's chest heaved with anger as he shouted, "That woman, Liu Yiy, has been missing for so many years, and she just appears now! What is her intention! Jun Zhimu, that idiot, has lost his mind and can't tell right from wrong. What's so good about that worthless thing to be coveted—"

"Actually, Qiao Ba'er…" The butler thought of a few things.

Old Master Jun's anger surged, he snorted coldly, "Don't mention that Qiao Bao'er to me, how could she be so foolish! I even agreed to let her marry into the Jun family, and she didn't take the opportunity to please me by getting rid of that debt. Now that the man surnamed Liu is back, she acts as if nothing happened, truly lacking ambition!!"

The housekeeper couldn't help but chuckle, "Sir, Qiao Baoer's pregnancy back then was just an accidental misunderstanding. She didn't have any feelings for our young master..." So it's normal for the former love to be indifferent to his return.

"What do you mean!" Old Master Jun's eyebrows shot up, "Are you saying Qiao Baoer looks down on Jun Zhimu!"

At least the shepherd is someone he personally raised, yet he was actually rejected by a woman. After all, the old man still favors his own grandson.

The housekeeper smiled helplessly.

But deep down, she couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the masters of the Jun family were all peculiar characters. It wouldn't be easy for Qiao Bao'er to deal with these two solemn figures.

"Today is New Year's Day, aren't you really going back to your hometown for dinner"

Lu Qinan received a call from Jun Zhumu and drove over to pick him up. He was idly waiting for the traffic light to change when he couldn't help but ask, "Zhi Mu, I heard you issued a notice cancelling the wedding"

Jun Zhimu leaned against the back of the car, feeling a bit tired and half-closing his eyes as if napping. He didn't want to be bothered by his grandfather, so he asked Lu Qinian to drive him over.

Now that Lu Qinian mentioned the cancellation of the wedding, he thought of Qiao Bao'er again. His eyes sank, as if lost in some thoughts.

Lu Qinan gripped the steering wheel and, seeing that he wasn't paying much attention to her, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

"Zhi Mu, you wouldn't really cancel the wedding that was already booked because Liu Yiyi is back, out of fear that she would be heartbroken, would you Anyway, Qiao Bao'er is legally your wife. This sudden cancellation of the wedding would be very... unfair to Qiao Bao'er, right"

Lu Qinian didn't get to finish his words because Jun Zhimu suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!"

Lu Qinan was puzzled, but his movements were nimble. The car stopped steadily on the side of the road.

"What's wrong"

He noticed that Jun Zhi牧's face was dark and he was staring out the left side of the car window. Following his gaze, Lu Qinan's expression froze.

How could she be wandering around this city area alone in the middle of the night

"Qiao Bao'er—" A familiar and excited shout came.

Qiao Bao'er was feeling particularly down today because Jun Zhi Mu hadn't come back tonight. Lord Jun had a sour expression and inexplicably scolded her again, so she couldn't take it anymore and ran out for a walk to catch her breath.tiful and her outfit tonight was a little strange, every diner at the stalls would cast her many curious glances as she walked by."Hey, pretty girl, are you interested in trying this charcoal-grilled...
