After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

After discovering the truth, Ji Fei felt deeply depressed.

Ji Fei couldn't initiate a divorce herself; only Qin Xian could propose it. But given his responsible nature, even without love, he wouldn't suggest it.

The only hope was to wait for Qin Xian and Yu Zhi to reconcile, which would give her back her freedom.

She had thought that Yu Zhi's return would mark the beginning of a new chapter in her life, but things weren't turning out that way at all.

Yu Zhi wasn't a good person.

Ji Fei certainly couldn't matchmake someone like that with Qin Xian. After all, Qin Xian and his family had treated her very well, and she couldn't do something so heartless.

She could only swallow her frustration.

So when everyone was shocked by Zhu Lingling's words, Qin Xian was still brooding in his own world, while Ji Fei's gaze toward Yu Zhi grew increasingly resentful.

Yu Zhi was secretly amused, knowing that once this reason was revealed, Ji Fei, the illegitimate Mrs. Qin, would tremble in fear.

Yu Zhi kept her head down, her expression awkward and embarrassed, as if indicating she had never intended to gain sympathy and didn't want others to know about her past hardships.

"What exactly happened?"

"Illness? What illness?"

"Have you been recovering all these years? No wonder we hadn't heard from you."

"How are you now? Have you recovered?"

"Why didn't you explain clearly back then?"

These were old friends after all. When Yu Zhi left years ago, her distressed manner had convinced everyone she must have had her reasons. But she wouldn't tell anyone, leaving them only to worry, and eventually watch her leave and lose contact. Now, hearing the truth suddenly, even Xuan Yi was surprised.

Perhaps because no one expected someone from a wealthy family like Yu Zhi to tell such a lie, everyone immediately believed it without question.

Ji Fei almost laughed in anger.

[If only you really had been seriously ill! Going to the nursing home was just to help care for that family's elders, trying to gain their favor. Zhu Lingling is such a fool, believing everything you say and even defending you. Oh, I get it, you're putting on a show for Qin Xian, wanting him to regret and feel sorry for you? Keep acting, no one can outact you!]

[When you left back then, you put on that act in front of everyone just to leave yourself a way back. And that nursing home exclusively serves the nobility, so they would never leak anyone's information. Your lies will never be exposed. How brilliantly calculated!]

If this drama hadn't destroyed Ji Fei's hopes, she would have enjoyed it thoroughly and applauded. But now she just wanted to criticize harshly!

Ji Fei looked at everyone's reactions, completely fooled, and felt exasperated.

Suddenly she froze, stealing a glance at Qin Xian, seeing him eating with a stern face, showing no intention of joining the group chat, his thoughts unknown.

[Ex-girlfriend forced to break up and leave because of illness, not wanting to burden boyfriend with worry, now returns healthy only to find him married, leaving them both speechless... hmm... if he didn't know the truth, Qin Xian would definitely be fooled!]

Qin Xian paused his eating, his eyes brightening. Finally, she was showing concern for him!

Perhaps Ji Fei would do something for him, to prevent him from being deceived.

Just thinking about this possibility made Qin Xian's heart race.

[Then because I'm soft-hearted, I'd want to warn Qin Xian that Yu Zhi isn't a good person, but since all the information comes from the system, I can't explain it clearly. In the end, I'd be suspected of trying to drive them apart. After all, Yu Zhi has already established her role as the sympathetic female lead. They'll end up with a happy ending together, while I'll be left as collateral damage, probably won't even get breakup compensation, despised by everyone. Damn, this is too cliché...]

Qin Xian: ???? How could you possibly think this way!!!!

[Sorry, better you than me. At most, I won't help evil prevail. If you make the mistake of loving wrongly, it's your own fault, showing it's your destined tribulation. I can't save you; I'm just here to watch the drama unfold.]

Qin Xian: You are my biggest tribulation!

Ji Fei felt she had finally worked through this mental loop, and could only wait to see how things developed to protect herself.

But Qin Xian was nearly losing his composure from her wild imagination. If he wasn't uncertain whether publicly revealing his mind-reading ability would cause Ji Fei harm beyond human control, he really wanted to straighten out her confused thoughts directly.

Perhaps sensing the change in atmosphere, everyone fell silent, as if a chilling aura was emanating from Qin Xian's direction.

This was truly strange.

After all, having known him for years, Qin Xian's emotions had always been relatively stable. His slow-to-warm emotional nature meant he rarely got angry at people or events. Yet tonight, even they could see his emotional fluctuations...

It must be because he learned the truth about why Yu Zhi broke up with him that his emotions were so volatile.

Several people cast sympathetic glances at Ji Fei. If Yu Zhi had truly been forced to leave back then, and Qin Xian could still be so affected by her, could their marriage even continue?

Just as they were thinking this, they saw Qin Xian suddenly turn to look at Ji Fei with a somewhat dejected expression.

Does she really not care about me?

While in others' eyes: It's over, just as they predicted. Qin Xian must be feeling sorry for Ji Fei now. Is he planning to give up on Ji Fei? Making such a quick decision?

Yu Zhi thought the same, so she felt excited inside.

Ji Fei also noticed Qin Xian looking at her and turned to meet his gaze, encountering a pair of dark eyes that seemed like black whirlpools, as if they would draw in all her attention, making her heart skip a beat.

Ji Fei inexplicably felt guilty under his gaze.

"What... what is it?"

Qin Xian wasn't a weak person, so he quickly composed himself. "There's something on your mouth corner."

As he spoke, he took a napkin and wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth. The gesture was intimate, his attention completely focused. It was as if they were in a different space from everyone else, just the two of them interacting.

Ji Fei was stunned.

Not just Ji Fei, everyone at the table was confused by Qin Xian's action.

Previously, if Qin Xian had done this, everyone would have guessed he was deliberately doing it for Yu Zhi to see.

But at this moment, it made no sense at all.

So... was he genuinely taking care of his wife?

But that wasn't right either. Even strangers would show some concern after hearing such news, let alone an ex-girlfriend!

How could the person involved react this way!

[What is he doing? After hearing such important information, even if he's not filled with regret, shouldn't he at least feel sad? At the very least, be suspicious! Why is he concerned about my mouth! I really don't understand!]

Qin Xian's eyes flickered, hoping Ji Fei would peek into his mind while trying to understand.

Since she didn't believe what he said.

The best solution was for Ji Fei to see his heart.

Ji Fei usually didn't peek into the minds of familiar people around her, only observing surface drama.

But this time she was truly too curious and wanted to investigate.

[Could it be... he was lost in thought and didn't hear? Let me see... Huh?]
