<h4>Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Caught Cheating on the Spot</h4><h4></h4>


    In the face of tremendous anger, Xia Guoxiong had already forgotten to deal with the matters concerning Huangpu Group. He grabbed his car keys and went straight out, leaving behind only the words, "Old Ji, you stay at thepany. Call me if something happens."


    Jiangshan Ruhua is an upscale residential area, only a twenty-minute drive from the Xia Family’s vi. Xia Guoxiong had chosen to rent an apartment here for Qin Nuan precisely because of its proximity.


    It’s just that Xia Guoxiong had yed with countless women over the years, but he was a stingy man. He could give tens of thousands in living expenses every month, but it was impossible for him to buy a house for a woman.


    Qin Nuan had been with him for half a year, the longest-serving secretary by his side, yet the most expensive gift Xia Guoxiong had bought for Qin Nuan during this half year was a BMW Mini.


    The apartment in Jiangshan Ruhua was rented by Xia Guoxiong. He used to visit every now and then, so naturally, he remembered its location clearly. Even the keychain he carried had the keys to this ce.


    Xia Guoxiong parked his car downstairs and then directly took the elevator up.


    ...


    Inside the apartment Qin Nuan was renting.


    She had been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Being young and with the pregnancy not too far along, she recovered quickly after the abortion surgery. Now, Qin Nuan looked no different from before.


    The spacious room was filled with ample air conditioning. Inside, Qin Nuan was wearing a camisole dress, and outside, a knitted cardigan. Her waist-length hair was casually clipped behind her head, with strands gently falling from both sides of her face, giving her an even more gentle and graceful appearance.


    She rummaged through the liquor cab, took out half a bottle of red wine, and poured two sses. She handed one to Yi Lixing, who was looking at his phone in front of the sofa, and held the other herself.


    "Looking at stocks again?" Qin Nuan nced at Yi Lixing’s phone, sat down beside him, resting her chin on Yi Lixing’s shoulder, her entire bodyx like it had no bones, leaning on Yi Lixing.


    "Just casually looking." Yi Lixing immediately put away his phone, shook the red wine in his hand, downing it in one go, while his other hand rested on Qin Nuan’s waist.


    Qin Nuan giggled, bringing the red wine in her hand to her lips, but before she could take a sip, Yi Lixing suddenly took away her wine ss, "You just had surgery, don’t drink."


    "Then will you drink for me?" Qin Nuan slowly rose, opting to kneel on the sofa, her body slightly tilted as she reached over Yi Lixing to grab the ss on the coffee table, seemingly unintentionally brushing Yi Lixing’s arm.


    The wine ss was brought to Yi Lixing’s lips, and after a nce at her, he drank the red wine, finishing it off with help from her hand.


    "You bad person, you drank it all." Qin Nuan pouted at Yi Lixing, but the next second she suddenlyughed, quickly pecked Yi Lixing on the lips, "Then give me a drink like that."


    "Just a kiss and run?" Yi Lixing wrapped his arms around Qin Nuan, and kisses fell like raindrops. The two of them rolled into a tangle on the sofa, their clothes thrown carelessly on the floor.


    Xia Guoxiong listened at the door for a moment, provoked by the indecent sounds inside. Without caring about anything else, he clicked the door open.


    Even though he was prepared, the scene inside the room still took Xia Guoxiong by surprise. Two bare bodies were entangled on the sofa, ringly obscene.


    "What... what are you doing?"


    The two on the sofa, deep in their passion, hadn’t noticed Xia Guoxiong’s entrance until they heard his words. Startled, especially Yi Lixing, who practically sprang up. While trying to dress, he babbled his exnation, "President Xia, listen to me, it was Qin Nuan who seduced me; it has nothing to do with me."


    Xia Guoxiong was in no mood to listen to such talk, or rather, he never intended to hear Yi Lixing out. He only looked distantly at the naked Qin Nuan, "Qin Nuan, I believe I have treated you fairly well. Why would you do this to me?"


    Qin Nuan’s gaze shifted back and forth between Xia Guoxiong and Yi Lixing. At Yi Lixing’s words, thest glimmer of light in her eyes had already faded away.


    Compared to Yi Lixing’s panic, she was clearly much calmer. Simply, she calmly pulled over a nket to wrap around her body, then gracefully stood up, positioning herself not far from Xia Guoxiong to face him.


    "President Xia, you have only ever regarded me as a ything. Had I not contacted Xia Cheng or Yi Lixing, you would have discarded me long ago. So why pretend to be so affectionate now?"


    Xia Guoxiong trembled with rage, his face turning the color of a liver. He pointed at Qin Nuan’s nose and scolded, "You whore, I treated you so well for nothing. This is my rented house, get the hell out."


    "Fine, but don’t regret it," Qin Nuan sneered and, pointing at her stomach, said, "I’ll go out right now and call for a press conference, and tell them how you and your bastard son yed with me so much that I don’t even know who the father of the child in my belly is."


    Xia Guoxiong hadn’t expected Qin Nuan to make such a statement. He could imagine that once the rtionship between him, his son, and Qin Nuan was exposed, many things would not be simply exined away as mere scandals.


    By now, Yi Lixing had nearly finished dressing, buttoning his shirt while acting as a peacemaker, "President Xia, let’s talk this over calmly, please. Right now, we are grasshoppers tied to the same string; falling out does no one any good."


    His words effectively reminded Xia Guoxiong and finally brought to mind the issue of Yi Lixing’s deception.


    Xia Guoxiong’s rage shifted from Qin Nuan to Yi Lixing, "Weren’t you telling me that there was no problem with the cooperation between Xia Group and Huangpu Group? What’s the situation now?"


    Several days had passed since the coboration between the two groups had ceased, and Yi Lixing had no intention of informing Xia Guoxiong. Hearing Xia Guoxiong’s words, he awkwardly coughed twice, "President Xia, I intentionally didn’t tell you because I was still figuring out a solution. If I managed to solve it, there was no need to upset you, right?"


    "So have you solved it yet?" The rage in Xia Guoxiong’s heart lessened considerably, hope flickering within.


    Yi Lixing appeared troubled, "I haven’t got it sorted yet. The day before yesterday, I approached the finance department wanting to disburse a sum of money to smooth over rtions, but Mr. Ji didn’t agree, so..."


    He spread his hands in a helpless gesture, his demeanor far from that of a man caught cheating; rather, he seemed as if Xia Guoxiong owed him money.


    "Mr. Ji has his reasons for his actions," Xia Guoxiong’s brow furrowed again. His gaze circled between Qin Nuan and Yi Lixing before settling on Yi Lixing, "Hurry up and get your things together. Come to thepany with me; we need to discuss this matter further."


    Under Qin Nuan’s shocked and angry gaze, the two men, who should havee to blows, left her apartment just like that.
