Ling Che's voice was soft and hoarse, buried in Qiao Ruyi's heart. When he spoke, her heart was shaking.

"Qiao Ruyi, I regret it."

This sentence made Qiao Ruyi startled.

She placed her hands on his broad shoulders and looked down at his brown hair. "What do you regret?"

He placed his hands on either side of Qiao Ruyi, holding her in his arms. When he raised his head, his narrow eyes were bottomless.

What did he regret? Of course, he regretted not telling her earlier that he loved her.

If he had known that Qiao Ruyi would be so well-behaved and obedient after confessing her feelings, and so gentle and lovable that people couldn't let her go, he should have done so earlier.

There's no need to spend so much effort to keep him by your side and quarrel with him all day long.

Qiao Ruyi is really sweet when she doesn’t talk tough.

After thinking about it, I still blame her.

With a "pa" sound, a slap neither light nor heavy landed on Qiao Ruyi's buttocks.

Qiao Ruyi immediately frowned, looking very unhappy. Why did he hit her for no reason?

"It's all your fault."

Ling Che said this without any context.

Qiao Ruyi was even more confused. "Why do you blame me? You hit me and you blame me?"

Ling Che leaned over and bit her tender pink lips, "Who has been secretly in love with me for three years without telling me?"

If she had told him earlier, he would have known her feelings.

He didn't have to guess.

Qiao Ruyi opened her eyes in surprise, looking at the playful smile on his handsome face, and was a little angry. "If you had behaved like a good person and said a few human words in the past three years, would I have had to have a secret crush on you?"

Is she still blaming him now? He's the one who's constantly involved in scandals. If she were to admit to a playboy that she has a crush on him, wouldn't that be like admitting she's a bootlicker?

She doesn't want to be a bootlicker!

"Isn't it a bit late to start digging up old scores now?"

Ling Che raised his head and pressed against the tip of her upturned nose. "Three years, not much."

Three years isn't enough?

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes. She knew how painful it was for her to hide her feelings for more than a thousand days and nights, loving a man who had no heart for her.

She has liked him for three years, but he has probably liked her for less than three months, right?

He could actually say such nonsense as "three years is not too much". It turns out that the one who is loved is fearless.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ling Che suddenly stepped back a little, frowning, "You just returned to China three years ago, Qiao Ruyi, you were attracted by her beauty, right?"

Qiao Ruyi blinked as if someone had hit the nail on the head.

She really fell in love with Ling Che at first sight.

Seeing through her thoughts, Ling Che couldn't help but hear a childish voice suddenly in his mind -

"You're so beautiful, little brother."

"I like handsome little brothers."

He suddenly made a "tsk" sound and said, "If you dare to like another good-looking man again, you're dead."

Seeing him frown, Qiao Ruyi asked with a smile, "Who can be as good-looking as you?"

She really likes good-looking things. Ling Che was even more displeased, "Can good-looking things be eaten?"

Qiao Ruyi smiled and nodded, "Beauty is a feast for the eyes, you know."

Ling Che looked at her and suddenly smiled. As expected, she hadn't changed since she was a child.

I like handsome men too.

"Really?" He clasped Qiao Ruyi's neck with one hand and lowered his head to kiss her slender neck. "Then let me try it."

When his kiss fell, Qiao Ruyi shrank her neck as if she had been electrocuted, and her body leaned back involuntarily, but he held her tighter.

His thin lips kissed from her neck to her chin, cheek, eyes, and nose.

Finally it landed on her lips...

The phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Interrupt the charming atmosphere between the two.

Qiao Ruyi clearly sensed Ling Che's impatience. He took out his phone and was about to hang up, but when he saw who was calling, he frowned and picked up the phone.

"Shen Qian, you are so dedicated so late at night? Looks like I have to give you a bigger bonus."

Qiao Ruyi twitched the corner of her mouth. The man whose good thing was interrupted was now acting sarcastic.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Qian immediately heard his boss' unhappy tone. He said helplessly, "Boss Ling, if it wasn't urgent, I wouldn't call you so late."

Ling Che supported himself on the washbasin with one hand and answered the phone with the other, still holding Qiao Ruyi in his arms.

He frowned, "Speak."

Shen Qian knew that he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he briefly explained his purpose, "Xu Weibai is ill, and he is seriously ill. He wants to meet with you and discuss cooperation with you in person."

Xu Weibo is Xu Heng's father and also the chairman of Xu Technology.

Xu Technology has always been mainly engaged in the production of auto parts. This time, it signed a large cooperation contract to supply the LS Group's automobile factory in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. It originally thought that relying on the business with Ling's company would allow Xu's turnover to increase significantly this year. Since the LS Group unilaterally cancelled the cooperation, Xu's parts have been unable to be supplied. Not only that, other companies have also terminated their contracts with the Xu family due to Ling's withdrawal.

Everyone in the industry understands the principle that it is good to take shelter under a big tree, so everyone knows who can be offended and who cannot be offended between the Ling and Xu families.

The chain reaction caused by the termination of the contract resulted in a large backlog of goods at Xu's Technology Factory, leading to a shortage of capital chain.

In this short period of time, Xu's company has begun to lay off employees on a large scale and has even started to liquidate assets.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Xu family.

So during this period, President Shen Qian's office phone was bombarded with calls, and he rejected them one by one according to Ling Che's instructions.

Recently, he heard that Xu Weibo, the chairman of Xu Group, was seriously ill. He called again tonight and begged him to help arrange a meeting with Mr. Ling to discuss cooperation in person, hoping that there was still room for a turnaround.

That's why Shen Qian risked being scolded by his boss and made this call.

After hearing what he said, Ling Che said without thinking, "No."

He refused with just two words.

Shen Qian was about to speak when he heard Ling Che's cold voice, "Assistant Shen, if you say one more word, you'll lose 10,000 in bonus money. You'd better think about what you're going to say next."

"Boss Ling, you're busy!"

Then the call was hung up.

After the phone call, Qiao Ruyi had a general understanding of what was going on.

Xu Heng's matter involves the Xu family's business, and the worst result is that the Xu family is about to go bankrupt.

Whether it is LS Group or Qiao Group, Qiao Ruyi has never participated in any internal decision-making. She never likes to worry about business matters and only wants to do her own design well.

Through this incident, she realized that the bankruptcy of a small business only requires a word from someone in a high position.

What's more, Xu's enterprise is not small, but it is difficult to survive because of Ling Che's words.

"Ling Che."

She lowered her eyes and met Ling Che's deep gaze, "As for Xu's..."

Before he could finish his words, Ling Che tilted his head and asked in amusement, "Do you think I went too far?"

He sneered, "Xu Heng can't control his lower body and touched someone he shouldn't have. Is it too much to use his father's company to teach the Xu family a lesson?"

Qiao Ruyi was stunned and couldn't say anything to refute.

I only vaguely remembered that the outside world said that the Ling family's crown prince was ruthless in his business dealings. Turns out, it was true.

"gone."

Ling Che carried her down from the washstand, having lost his initial enthusiasm. "Go blow dry your hair."

......

Xu family villa.

Zhao Yaqin came out of her son's room with red eyes, and her face, which was about fifty years old, looked a little haggard.

Before she could recover from her son's situation, her husband fell ill due to company matters.

Zhao Yaqin was almost surrounded by various emotions such as pain, hopelessness and anger.

The housekeeper came hurriedly, "Madam, there's a phone call downstairs, looking for you."

Zhao Yaqin wiped her tears, walked downstairs and answered the phone.

"Which one?"

There was a young girl's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Aunt Zhao, I'm Ye Ke."
