Quick Transmigration: Targeted by the Boss - Ch. 14

When Su Qiao woke up again, she was already in a hospital bed.

Her injuries had been treated, and beside the bed…

Looking at the man leaning on the bedside and holding her hand, Su Qiao was momentarily stunned.

Fair-skinned, handsome features, and wearing a simple white shirt that softened his demeanor — he looked like a gentle person at first glance.

Unfortunately, it was just a façade. Beneath the surface, he was ruthless and venomous.

The thought that this duplicitous man had caused her clone such unbearable suffering made Su Qiao’s eyes flash coldly. She itched to snap his neck with her hand.

[Host, don’t act recklessly. If you kill him outright, not only will you end up in prison, but it also won’t resolve your alternate self’s grievances. Her wish is to see these people face the consequences they deserve, to expose this man for the hypocrite he is and ruin his reputation.]

Su Qiao narrowed her eyes and relaxed her clenched fingers.

“Qiao Qiao?”

Qin Yu’s face carried a trace of exhaustion. Upon seeing Su Qiao awake, his eyes lit up with joy.

He gripped her hand tightly as she tried to pull it away.

“Qiao Qiao, are you awake? Are you okay? Does it hurt? You almost scared me to death, you know? When I got the call saying you’d been in a car accident, I was so terrified my heart almost stopped.”

Qin Yu held her hands in both of his, still looking shaken, his gentle eyes full of worry and fear, tinged with heartbreak.

What a pity it didn’t scare you to death.

That would save her from the trouble.

So dirty.

Frowning, Su Qiao exerted some force, trying to pull her hand back.

“Qiao Qiao, what’s wrong? Does it hurt a lot? Or are you scared?”

Qin Yu’s dark eyes dimmed slightly.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Su Qiao seemed unfamiliar to him.

In the past, whenever she saw him, her eyes always carried a trace of admiration and joy.

And she never rejected his touch.

Sensing Qin Yu’s suspicion, 444 quickly issued a warning.

[Host, stay in character! You can’t break your character! Even if you can’t imitate it perfectly, at least make it convincing. Think of it like acting.]

Acting?

Scenes from dramas flashed through Su Qiao’s mind.

Recalling how the original Su Qiao behaved toward Qin Yu.

She closed her eyes, suppressing the chill in her gaze.

She raised her head timidly, her clear eyes misting over with a thin layer of tears.

Even her voice carried a delicate tremble.

“Brother Yu…”

Damn, I want to vomit.

Su Qiao felt nauseated by her own voice.

Maybe I should just kill him after all!!!

444 shuddered, covered in goosebumps.

Its host… was she overacting?

Qin Yu studied her intently for a moment, and the hint of doubt in his heart disappeared.

He gently touched Su Qiao’s forehead, his voice soft with reassurance.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. My Qiao Qiao has nothing to fear now. Everything’s fine, and you’re safe. Thank goodness. You were so lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Qin Yu said, relief evident on his face.

Thankfully, she was okay.

Although he had his own motives, Qin Yu hadn’t wanted Su Qiao to come to harm.

Su Qiao was beautiful, came from a good family, and most importantly, she was an orphan — meek, easy to manipulate, and deeply in love with him.

She was the perfect candidate for the wife he needed.

“Mm.”

Su Qiao gave a weak nod.

She decided to stick to her true nature.

Acting like that earlier had nearly made her gag.

Anyway, the original clone was introverted and didn’t talk much.

Having just survived a car accident, some personality change should be excusable, right?

Qin Yu didn’t suspect anything further. Looking regretful and guilty, he said.

“It’s all my fault. I was too busy with meetings. I knew you were going to a classmate’s birthday party today but didn’t make the effort to personally pick you up and drop you off.”
