Chapter 6

Ji Fei had transmigrated three days ago.The cause was that her soul had been mistakenly taken by a Messenger from the Underworld. Having no parents, her body was quickly disposed of, making resurrection impossible.

To make up for this work error, she was gifted a transmigration package.

And so, Ji Fei arrived. She inherited the original body's memories and assumed its identity.

The original Ji Fei was a delicate young lady with no means to support herself. When her parents died in an accident, worried that their orphaned daughter would be bullied by relatives, they entrusted her to their close friends, the Qin Family.

The Qin Family pitied her and raised her as their own daughter.

However, the original Ji Fei, having experienced misfortune, became complicated and sensitive. She never opened up to the Qin Family, remaining gloomy and peculiar. She did, however, fall in love with Qin Xian at first sight. Worried that she would have no reason to stay with the Qin Family after graduating from university, she made a move on Qin Xian.

She got him drunk, slept with him, and they were caught. Qin Xian despised her but had to take responsibility when she threatened suicide. They were forced to get married.

Feeling wronged by this incident, she shut herself in her room for days, eventually dying suddenly from heart failure.

This is how Ji Fei came to transmigrate.

Her face and name were instantly replaced in this world.

Ji Fei had no desire to become a resentful wife locked away. Although Qin Xian was handsome and wealthy, she could look but not touch. What was the point of that? Ji Fei didn't want to live as a married single.

In her past life, she had never even held hands with a man. In this life, she was determined to make up for it.

It was perfect that he didn't like her. She thought about divorcing such a rich man, making a big score, and never having to worry about money again.

However, the Messenger from the Underworld told her that unless Qin Xian initiated the divorce, Ji Fei couldn't divorce on behalf of the original body. This was what they called fate. The original Ji Fei would never have divorced Qin Xian, even in death.

Ji Fei protested.

So the Messenger from the Underworld gave her an additional compensation gift: the Gossip System.

The Gossip System was a cheat code that could dig up secrets people had been hiding since birth. It perfectly satisfied Ji Fei's gossip cravings.

Later, she thought that given the Qin Family's character, as long as she didn't mess things up, life wouldn't be bad. Rich, leisurely, with a husband who never came home - it could be considered a good life. If she really couldn't stand it anymore and cheated on Qin Xian, well, that would be his fault for not fulfilling his husbandly duties.

But she didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

This framing incident had turned into grounds for divorce.

What a coincidence! She could divorce right away!

But now...

It was already night when they left the police station. Qin Xian took Ji Fei into the car, intending to go home first.

The car was terrifyingly quiet.

Ji Fei leaned dejectedly against the window.

She blamed herself for not acting hysterical enough to disgust him. She had missed out on two billion yuan, an amount she wouldn't have dared to dream of winning in the lottery in her past life!

Qin Xian couldn't hear anything else, only "Two billion!" "Two billion!" ...constantly cycling in Ji Fei's mind.

Was she really that short on money?

Qin Xian picked up his phone, and soon after, Ji Fei's phone buzzed with a notification.

Ji Fei listlessly opened it.

Three million yuan deposited!

Ji Fei's breath suddenly quickened, her eyes widened in shock, and she mechanically turned to look at Qin Xian.

[Could it be... he transferred it to the wrong person!]

Qin Xian was looking at her. Seeing her turn towards him, his long, thick eyelashes lowered slightly, casting a shadow under his phoenix eyes, making him appear somewhat sincere.

He spoke solemnly, "I'm sorry for wrongly accusing you earlier. I apologize, and this is compensation."

Qin Xian was truly sorry, but he didn't know how else to make amends. He didn't really know Ji Fei well, as they had spent so little time together. He had no idea what she liked, but hearing her constantly muttering about money, he decided to just transfer money directly.

"Oh," Ji Fei replied, outwardly calm as if her heart had been hurt and she no longer cared about anything.

However, in reality:

[Holy crap! Three million! Kill me now! Is it even legal to transfer three million to a phone account?!]

[Stay calm! For the princess who just missed out on two billion, three million is nothing, haha!]

[Being wrongly accused once and getting three million in compensation, Qin Xian, you're actually quite nice!] Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴ0velFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

[Feel free to accuse me a few more times, I don't mind at all!]

The corner of Qin Xian's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected Ji Fei's inner thoughts to be like this. She was so two-faced. Indeed, one shouldn't judge people by appearances; only today did he truly get to know Ji Fei as a person.

Qin Xian glanced at her again. He saw her desperately trying to suppress a smile, her eyes big and round, sparkling with light, adding a lively charm to her already beautiful features.

With her jade-like nose and cherry lips, her hair like clouds framing her face, the flowing neon lights from outside the window danced on her porcelain-white skin, making her look like a sprite melding into the bustling night.

Although Qin Xian didn't like her, he had to admit that Ji Fei possessed a stunning beauty that could captivate anyone. He hadn't noticed before, probably because her expression was always gloomy, as if everyone owed her something. Now she seemed naturally spirited, as if her entire being had suddenly brightened up.

Why would a person change so drastically all of a sudden?

Qin Xian couldn't help but think of strange possibilities.

She seemed to know the ins and outs of many things, even those she shouldn't have access to.

Perhaps it was due to the sudden appearance of this peculiar ability. Knowing too much made everything seem clear, so she started living more freely and casually.

For now, this was the only explanation Qin Xian could come up with.

But thinking back to this incident, Qin Xian couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you defend yourself more after it happened..."

Ji Fei thought for a moment, then had an idea and tried to provoke him, "You've wanted to divorce me for a long time anyway. This was just an excuse. Whether it's true or false doesn't matter."

Qin Xian frowned, displeased, "Truth and falsehood are very important! And... I've never planned to find an excuse to divorce you."

Although their marriage had started in a mess, he hadn't intended to keep things in a stalemate forever.

Ji Fei was a bit surprised, but in her heart, she responded: [Ex-husband bro, you're a good person!]

Qin Xian's face turned green.

They weren't even divorced yet! How could she call him "ex-husband bro"!

Or did she think they would definitely get divorced?

Before Qin Xian could think further, Ji Fei's inner voice provided the answer.

[But forced love isn't sweet, why waste time? After all, your true love will be returning to the country soon! Isn't it better if I clear out in advance?]

[Secretary Jin already said that she had her reasons for breaking up with you, that there was a misunderstanding between you two. This looks like the setup for a reunion, and I don't want to stay and be the third wheel.]

[I don't want to end up in a melodrama, becoming the victim of adultery. That would be so ugly. I'm doing this for your own good.]

Qin Xian's breath caught.

He and that person were long over. He had moved on, so how could he possibly maintain a relationship with an ex while having a wife? He wasn't that kind of person.

That's why he hadn't even thought about asking Secretary Jin for the truth.

If he could reveal that he could hear her thoughts without seeming rash, Qin Xian really wanted to argue with her.

Perhaps feeling a bit resentful, without waiting for Ji Fei's outward response, Qin Xian said directly, "Don't overthink things. As long as you live your life properly, we won't get divorced!" In the future, Qin Xian would definitely prove to her that he wasn't the kind of person she thought he was!

Ji Fei glanced at Qin Xian and replied perfunctorily, "Oh."

But in her heart, she strongly disagreed.

[When you're caught in an ambiguous push-and-pull with your true love, I'll throw these words right back in your face!]

Qin Xian took a sharp breath. Why wouldn't she believe his words?

[Ah, no, that's not right.]

Qin Xian: Did she believe him?

[It's better if ex-husband bro is more determined now. If I behave well for a while, when ex-husband bro comes to me for an amicable divorce for the sake of his true love, he might feel guilty and give me a bigger divorce settlement.]

Qin Xian's face darkened.

[These days, it's like I'm investing money with ex-husband bro. Just thinking about it makes me giddy. I'm such a financial whiz! Once we divorce, it'll all become my seed money for independent living! Then I can get a house, a little puppy... hehe.]

Qin Xian felt short of breath.

You just can't forget about that little puppy, can you? Or do you already have candidates lined up? Is that why you're so quick to accept the idea of divorcing me?

Calm down, calm down. This time it was my fault. I shouldn't think of Ji Fei like this.

[A young wolf wouldn't be bad either... as long as he has six-pack abs!]

Qin Xian: ...I have... eight-pack abs...

[I'm just waiting for Qin Xian to bring up the divorce.]

Qin Xian clenched his fists out of sight.

He couldn't tell if Ji Fei truly wanted a divorce or if she was just hurt by this incident and had given up on herself.

After all, if Ji Fei really wanted a divorce, she could have proposed it herself.

The fact that she didn't take the initiative probably meant she still didn't want to divorce him.

It definitely wasn't because she wanted to accumulate more alimony!!!

The car slowly drove into the estate.

Other people's cars were parked in the square; there were visitors.

As soon as the two of them stepped through the main entrance, they heard voices coming from the living room.

"Mom, Dad, this is the child Qin Yan and I are planning to adopt. His name is Li Ziqiao."

Qin Xian immediately understood that his older sister and brother-in-law had arrived.

Before he could even process the news about adopting a child, he felt the woman beside him, who had been leisurely strolling, suddenly quicken her pace.

[Oh my, there's more drama to feast on! The upper-class circle really is full of drama. This makes me a tiny bit reluctant to get divorced.]

[Divorcing is like leaving a melon patch full of juicy gossip!]

Watching Ji Fei take two steps at a time, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

Qin Xian: ...This definitely isn't the reason she's not initiating the divorce!

Also, what new drama is unfolding now?

Wait for me!
