Chapter 14
Her Lover Is a Powerful Man 2
The only problem was, there was no way he would stand by her side to help her up.
Shen Rui pushed Qin Se’s hand away. “Okay, fine. I admit you’re good. However, don’t think you’ve won just yet. We’ll see about that.”
Shen Rui turned on his heels angrily and left Qin Se standing alone at the spot they had been arguing in.
Qin Se shouted at his back. “Honey, take your time. Don’t rush. We have plenty of time to …”
The smile on Qin Se’s face disappeared gradually. She knew Shen Rui would come up with something later when he got back. After all, it wasn’t that simple to get a divorce.
She stuffed the photos back into her bag as she rubbed her bruised arm, which had been gripped mercilessly by Shen Rui, and prepared to leave.
Just as she was about to walk off, she realized that she had been standing right opposite a security camera.
Qin Se figured that it must have recorded everything that had happened between her and Shen Rui.
Thus, she tidied up her clothes and flipped her long and straight hair behind, even letting out a pretty smile to the camera before leaving gracefully.

Upstairs.
Gu Jingyuan looked up at his assistant who was standing aside and waiting for his orders.
The assistant nodded at once. “Understood, sir.”
Once the assistant had left, Gu Jingyuan turned his gaze back at the computer in front of him again.
The screen was fixed on Qin Se’s last smile. It was a sweet and warm smile, which also let out the feeling of purity and beauty.

When Qin Se returned to the banquet hall, she saw Zhao Boyuan and Shen Rui acting as if nothing had happened. They surrounded Wang Qiuxia and showered her with flattering words, making her very happy.
As soon as Qin Se had sat down on her seat, Shen Rui picked up a glass of juice and looked at her with deep affection. He said, “Sweetheart, you have worked hard and suffered a lot over the last two years. Now that you are pregnant and can’t drink, I’ve gotten you this glass of juice. I want to make a toast to you. I hope that in the future, our child will be born safely. You can rest assured that I will be a good father.”
Qin Se’s eyes became red, and in the eyes of the crowd, she looked touched. “Honey, it was so touching for me to hear you say these words. I feel so happy! Well, I also believe that you will make an excellent father.”
After saying that, Qin Se took the juice. However, instead of drinking it, she turned to Wang Qiuxia and said, “Mom, now that I’m pregnant, my stomach still feels uncomfortable even after a trip to the restroom. This juice is a little chilly, but Shen Rui’s feelings shouldn’t be wasted. I want to present the Buddha with borrowed flowers. Here, this is my toast for you. I hope that you can live a long life and enjoy good health. When your little grandson is born, he will be treated as filial.”
Shen Rui and Zhao Boyuan’s faces changed immediately, and they exchanged a look.
Wang Qiuxia was in an excellent mood. Qin Se was more pleasing to her eyes than ever before. “Good, good! You have been good to me! Take good care of the baby. I won’t spare you if you hurt my grandson in any way!”
Qin Se nodded obediently. “Oh, don’t you worry. I promise to give birth to your grandson safely. This is the eldest grandson of the Shen family! I will be very cautious.”
Green smoke was coming out from Shen Rui’s head. That little b*stard wasn’t Shen’s family grandson!
As Wang Qiuxia took the juice, Shen Rui became anxious and tried to stop her, but Qin Se prevented him from doing so by pulling his arm. “Husband, do you think our baby will look like you?”
Zhao Boyuan, on the other hand, was feeling very troubled on the other side, his forehead dense with sweat.
The juice had been drugged. It wouldn’t kill anyone, but whoever consumed it would suffer from diarrhea for days, and it could cause even the strongest man to be dehydrated upon consumption.
He had plotted this with Shen Rui. Given that the baby was just one month old, it wasn’t that stable yet. If they made Qin Se experience diarrhea for a few days, the baby would surely have to be aborted.
Who would have known that she would be so cunning as to pass the drugged juice over to Wang Qiuxia.
