Quick Transmigration: After the Backup Love Awakens, He Sacrifices the Official Partner to the Heave

"Brother Xingyuan, don't be afraid. It's a fact that Jiang Zui likes you. Can't we even tell the truth?" Jiang Li chimed in when Zhao Xingyuan objected.

"Qi Chen, even though you are Jiang Zui's husband, you can't control whether Jiang Zui likes someone else. A poisonous husband like you should have died long ago."

"Xiao Li, don't say that." Zhao Xingyuan shouted at Jiang Li, looking disapproving, and apologized, "Qi... Jiang husband, I'm sorry, Xiao Li is used to speaking without thinking. If anything has upset you, please forgive him for my sake."

"Your face?"

Qi Chen spoke calmly, but Zhao Xingyuan's face immediately fell. She whispered, "Brother Jiang Zui."

Although it was only three words, Zhao Xingyuan spoke them with a variety of twists and turns.

If it were anyone else, their heart would probably melt into a puddle of water upon hearing this touching address.

Jiang Zui scratched his ear impatiently. They both had the same tone, so why did Qi Chen sound so nice when he called out "husband," but Zhao Xingyuan sounded like she was disgusting him?

"Alright, stop calling me Brother Jiang Zui. We're not brothers."

Jiang Zui's words broke Zhao Xingyuan's defenses. Her eyes welled up with tears, her nose turned red, and she looked pitiful as she said aggrievedly:

"Brother Jiang Zui, why...why did you do this to me? You abandoned me first, and you chose your future while giving up on me."

You promised me that even if we couldn't be together, you would protect me for the rest of your life.

Now that you have a husband, are you just going to pretend that everything from before never happened?

Zhao Xingyuan couldn't believe that Jiang Zui had become like this. Just yesterday, he had been so caring and attentive to her, but today he was cold and indifferent to her, as if all their past interactions were meaningless and nonexistent.

"Enough, Zhao Xingyuan. I was wrong before. I never liked you at all." Jiang Zui was speechless and thought to himself: Damn it, it's all the original owner's fault. He couldn't explain it to his wife.

In Jiang Zui's view, the original owner of this body probably didn't know what liking or loving was.

Because the original owner was punished by Liu Yu to kneel when he was a child, Zhao Xingyuan happened to see it and chatted with him for a while. From then on, the original owner had a level 10 filter for Zhao Xingyuan.

Believing that the other person had saved them, they wanted to protect them in return.

Zhao Xingyuan was a male servant, and in order to protect the other party's identity, he became her husband.

Subsequently, the original owner of this body worked hard to obtain the identity of the other party's husband.

In fact, even if the two got married, their marriage wouldn't last long.

Zhao Xingyuan enjoys being in the limelight and craving envious glances from others. A thrilling and dramatic life is what she longs for.

The original owner, however, was completely different. Having been under Liu Yu's supervision since childhood, the original owner was afraid of standing out and of others' apprehensive gazes. Caution and mediocrity were what the original owner desired.

Based on the fact that the original owner was an illegitimate son, Zhao Xingyuan would not choose the original owner.

Upon hearing Jiang Zui's words, Zhao Xingyuan appeared heartbroken. Her previously upright posture swayed for a moment, and she said sorrowfully:

"Brother Jiang Zui, is this really how you treat me? Even if there's no longer any affection, what about all those years of friendship between us? Where do you put that?"

Never liked him? Never liked him? Jiang Zui, do you dare swear to God?

"Of course." Jiang Zui raised his hand without hesitation. Because of the shackles around his neck, his hands were bound, so he could only swear in this strange way.

Jiang Zui showed no remorse and declared righteously, "I, Jiang Zui, swear to heaven that in this life, I will only love Qi Chen. If I break this oath, may I suffer all the bitterness in the world."

After making the vow, Jiang Zui looked at Zhao Xingyuan and explained, "Zhao Xingyuan, I mistook gratitude for love before, but..."

Jiang Zui looked at Qi Chen with deep affection, and then said, "But since I met A-Chen, I have come to understand what love is and what liking is."

I've always considered you like a younger brother, so please forgive me if I've ever caused any misunderstandings.

Exes, get out of here!

My wife is the only one in my heart right now!

"Fine! Fine! Fine! Jiang Zui, you'll regret this!" Zhao Xingyuan said, then turned and left.

Seeing Zhao Xingyuan leave, Jiang Li, who was left behind, instinctively chased after her without thinking, completely forgetting the purpose of her visit.

After the two left, Qi Chen stood with his arms crossed, his eyes scrutinizing, and his tone angry as he said:

"Brother Jiang Zui? That's a really nice nickname."

Brother?

Jiang Zui, tell me the truth, what exactly happened with Zhao Xingyuan? And... how did I force you to marry me?

"Ah Chen, let me explain..."

Subsequently, Jiang Zui told Qi Chen about Liu Yuwei forcing him.

"I see, then... it seems our marriage was orchestrated." Qi Chen suddenly realized, then paused and said, "Wait, then you and Zhao Xingyuan are...?"

Before Qi Chen could finish speaking, Jiang Zui interrupted, "Zhao Xingyuan and I really have nothing going on. I assure you, my body and my heart belong to your future husband. Don't worry, I'm still clean."

"Haha, host, look at yourself, acting like a lovesick fool. Are you afraid Qi Chen won't believe you?" the system teased.

"Don't show your face in front of me until I've appeased my wife, otherwise..."

Jiang Zui didn't finish his sentence, but the threatening tone in his voice terrified the system, which pleaded softly, "Alright, I won't disturb you two anymore, I'll leave now."

Damn it, even when trying to appease a wife, someone... no, someone else is messing things up!

This is so damn frustrating!

Seeing Jiang Zui's nervous appearance, Qi Chen naturally knew that the other party was not lying to him.

After all, not just anyone would dare to make such a solemn oath.

But he was still furious and wanted to teach Jiang Zui a lesson, so no matter how Jiang Zui explained, he didn't reply.

They arrived at the first post station after dark.

Upon arrival at the post station, all the men were freed from their shackles, leaving only their leg irons. After being given food, they were allowed to find their own lodgings near the post station.

The post station was built in a desolate place and was very small. Looking around, it was pitch black and surrounded by dense trees. If you listened carefully, you could hear the howling of tigers and wolves.

Therefore, everyone just wanted to get as close to the post station as possible, and had no intention of running away.

After the meal, Qi Chen finally spoke to Jiang Zui, saying, "Come closer, I'm hot."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zui hurriedly walked up to Qi Chen, her eyes filled with laughter, and said, "Ah Chen, you've forgiven me?"

Although Jiangsu felt inwardly that it wasn't his fault at all, that the wrong had a culprit and the debtor was responsible, and that everything was done by the original owner.

"Hmph, I forgive you." Qi Chen, holding Jiang Zui's arm, scoffed. "Where are we going to find a place to stay?"

Qi Chen glanced at the pitch-black outside, feeling terrified, and clung tightly to Jiang Zui's arm.
