Chapter Sixteen: The Secret of the Body Seal

  "No, nothing at all!" Qiao Tai shook his head vigorously, his first reaction being denial, denial and more denial!

  Shang Jing squinted her eyes, not quite believing Qiao Yu's words, but she remembered another important thing. She took out a bright red invitation from her bag and handed it to Qiao Yu, leaning against the table: "Fang Wei is getting married, I'm going to attend, and he also sent me an invitation, are you going?"

  Fang Wei was just a close friend of Qiao Cai and Shang Jing during their university days, but after graduation, they went their separate ways and rarely contacted each other again.

  "Of course I'll go!" Qiao Tai agreed without hesitation, then took the invitation card handed over by Shang Jing, opened it and was stunned!

  The hotel where Fang Wei held his wedding ceremony is the largest five-star hotel in Beijing, Dongfang Dingyuan, which is also one of the hotels under the Yan Chu family's enterprise.

  The words are choked...

  Shang Jing saw Qiao Cui's pale face and knew she was still thinking of Yan Chu, so he said: "You'd better not go, anyway, it won't make a difference without you."

  "I'm going!" Qiao Tai clenched the invitation tightly and said loudly, "Even if it's a hotel opened by Yan Chu's family, I may not necessarily see Yan Chu even if I go. Besides, what's the big deal about seeing him? We don't have any relationship anymore, so it doesn't matter, Ah Jing, I want to go!"

  Her pale face was patted gently, and she was hugged like an older sister. "If you want to go, then go," she said with a heavy heart. "But no matter what happens, this time you're not allowed to hide again. You've been hiding for a year already, that's long enough."

  Tears flashed across her eyes, and Qiao Cai almost couldn't help but burst into tears. She knew that Shang Jing had been worried about her all along.

  That year, she hid herself away, completely sealing herself off, as if she had vanished.

  That year, no one knew what had happened to her, but from then on, she could never wear short-sleeved shirts again.

  Fang Wei's wedding is this Saturday, and the timing is a bit rushed. Qiao Tai didn't even have time to buy himself a decent outfit.

  Besides, her figure is probably hard to find good-looking clothes too.

  Opening the wardrobe in the room, Qiao Tai hoped to pick out a decent set of clothes from inside.

  Actually, there are still many flowing dresses and cute blouses in the closet, which were all worn by Qiao Xi during her university days, but most of them were bought by Yan Chu to give to her.

  Because they were all expensive name brands, Qiao Xi still couldn't bear to throw them away until now, but she could no longer wear them.

  Among them, a shoulder-baring little evening dress was Qiao Tai's favorite. She touched it again and again, and couldn't help but try it on. The figure and cut were perfectly suitable, setting off her fair skin, and the curves were also delicate and charming. At first glance, she didn't look like a newcomer to society at all, but rather more like a kind and sweet girl next door.

  Unfortunately, Qiao Xi's two arms were covered with scars from knife cuts, although they had already healed but still looked ugly. Her small wrist also had a frightening scar, as if she had attempted to cut her veins before.

  Completely destroyed the beauty of this little dress!

  Qiao Xi smiled wryly at her reflection in the mirror, took off the small dress and changed into a dark-colored long shirt and a long skirt before going out.
