When I carried the prepared sweet soup into the bedroom, Qiao Ruyi was no longer on the bed.

The door from the bedroom to the balcony was open. Walking in, he saw the slender figure standing on the balcony with her back to him. As a breeze blew by, the loose home clothes on her body swayed loosely, and one could imagine how thin the figure underneath the clothes was.

I didn't have much meat to begin with, and I've lost a lot more weight in the past few days.

Qiao Ruyi stood on the balcony, gazing calmly at the night in the distance.

Suddenly, a warm body came up from behind, his arms around her waist and his chin resting on top of her head.

In an instant, the familiar smell lingered around me.

"What are you doing up?" Ling Che asked with concern, a pleasant voice sounded above her head. "Song Xilan said you wanted something sweet. Would you like to try something I made?"

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes. She didn't have much of an appetite, but because Xilan kept asking her if she wanted to eat, she casually said she wanted to eat something sweet.

In fact, she doesn't want to eat anything sweet or bitter now.

She maintained her original posture and asked him, "What's going on?"

Ling Che knew what she wanted to ask, and lowered his head to kiss her hair. "It's okay now, it's all over."

Even now, he still refuses to tell her and wants to keep her in the dark.

Qiao Ruyi pulled away the hand around her waist and turned to look at him. "You knew someone was going to harm you, so you deliberately faked your death to make them think you were in an accident and died in the fire. I know this was your plan, and you fooled everyone, but are you going to fool me too?"

The moment she learned that he was dead, she almost broke down.

My mother passed away, and Aunt Chen also left.

Ling Che was the last person she loved deeply in this world. If even this man died, then she really had no desire for this damn world anymore.

Her world has been shattered, and she cannot afford the cost of such separation from life and death.

Now seeing him standing in front of her unharmed, she was glad that he was alive, but it also made her realize clearly that she had no right to know about all of this man's plans.

Her eyes were cold, which could well hide her hurt at the moment.

Ling Che met her gaze and explained gently, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't want you to worry."

Some people always do things that make you worry under the guise of doing good for you.

Qiao Ruyi was tired of hearing such words. She demanded, "How much have you been hiding from me? What are you doing? Why would someone want to harm you? Why would they want to kill you? What are you planning?"

"The previous assassination, including the head that was delivered to my door..." The bloody scene still vividly appeared before her eyes at the mention of it, making her shudder. She looked into the man's deep eyes and said, "You told me it was a business competition tactic. Is this accident also a business competition tactic?"

"Or, are you doing something that I can't know about? Even if you really die in danger one day, I can only know about your death through others?"

At this point, her voice couldn't help but choke, and her eyes reddened again, "If today's accident is true, I won't even be able to see you for the last time, right? Or do I have no right to know about your affairs?"

She spoke excitedly, asking all the questions that had been holding in her mind since she woke up.

She hoped Ling Che could give her an answer that could convince her.

The man in front of her looked at her deeply, and in his deep eyes were emotions that she could not understand.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time passes silently like this.

The man remained calm.

"never mind."

Qiao Ruyi smiled gently. Since he didn't want to say anything, she stopped asking.

But somewhere in my heart, it sank little by little, and felt a little cold.

She stopped looking at him and walked around him to the bedroom.

Suddenly, her wrist felt hot, and the hot palm suddenly grasped her slender wrist.

Qiao Ruyi paused but did not look back.

Then she heard the other party's low and slightly hoarse voice.

"I'm seeking revenge."

The four words were spoken quietly and as light as water, but they made Qiao Ruyi's back stiffen suddenly.

"There are many people who want to kill me, and there are many people I want to get rid of."

He turned around and looked at Qiao Ruyi's back. "It's not that I meant to hide it from you, I just didn't want to involve you."

He knew Qiao Ruyi's character too well. Once she knew the truth, she would definitely not stand idly by.

Once she is caught up in this dangerous abyss, she will be in potential danger all the time.

He couldn't afford to gamble.

Rather than putting her in danger, it is better for her to know nothing and just be herself.

But now he knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he would push her further away.

The person in front of him turned around, and those cold eyes finally showed some warmth when they looked at him.

"Revenge?" Qiao Ruyi frowned and stared at him in surprise. "Whose revenge? Uncle Ling's?"

But she remembered that Uncle Ling died unexpectedly, and there was no suspicious information reported.

She was suddenly startled and suddenly realized.

The biggest doubt is the accident without any doubt.

Seeing her eyes, Ling Che knew that she had reacted.

He held her hands, sighed softly, bent down and looked directly into her eyes, "Qiao Ruyi, everyone says my father died in an accident, but I don't believe it, so I want to investigate this matter thoroughly."

But he is in the open and the other party is in the dark.

The other party may have clearly seen his every move.

"So Qiao Ruyi." He looked at her, raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "Just pretend you know nothing and stay by my side obediently, okay?"

Qiao Ruyi asked, "So the person who wants to harm you today is the murderer of Uncle Ling?"

"Yeah." Ling Che nodded and pinched her cheek with a smile, "He has admitted it. I have handed him over to Director Song."

From his deep eyes, Qiao Ruyi could see her own complicated expression at this moment.

She didn't expect that Ling Che had so many things on his mind.

It turns out that all he did was revenge.

She never expected that Uncle Ling's accidental death was not an accident.

Qiao Ruyi vaguely remembered six years ago, when she had just gone to study in Country F for less than a year, but unexpectedly received a call from Ling Zhengqing.

He was already on his deathbed at this time, and he didn't expect that the phone call was actually his last words.

On the phone, Ling Zhengqing made two requests to her.

The first point is that he hopes that she will complete her engagement with Ling Che after returning to China after completing her studies, and become a good young lady of the Ling family, helping his son, whom he is worried about, to manage the group.

The second point is that he hopes she and Ling Che can have a child as soon as possible, have a complete family, and make up for the love he has lacked since childhood.

She may have done well on the first point, but as for the second point, she seems to have not yet fulfilled it.

"Why are you dazed?"

Seeing the person in front of him staring at him without saying a word, Ling Che pulled her into the house with amusement, "Did the wind blow you silly?"

"Ling Che."

Qiao Ruyi looked at him and smiled gently, "Let's have a child."
