Qiao Ruyi really did what he said.

For two days after returning to Yujingwan, she kept her distance from Ling Che.

For example, when Ling Che went to the study, she would take a detour to another room.

Ling Che was on the phone in the living room, so she went straight upstairs.

Ling Che went upstairs and she returned to the bedroom.

Ling Che was very annoyed by her avoiding him.

It was as if the two of them had returned to the time when they first got married, when they did not interfere with each other.

He didn't know how long Qiao Ruyi would be angry with him.

Two nights later, Ling Che's patience had reached its limit.

"Qiao Ruyi, come over and talk."

Ling Che sat on the sofa and glanced at someone who had just finished work and came downstairs.

Qiao Ruyi looked over. He was dressed in a white woolen home suit, looking less aggressive than usual. His chestnut brown hair had just been washed, making it fluffy and soft, making his sharp jawline look smoother and his skin appear even whiter.

These past two days, she locked the door as soon as she entered the bedroom. Aunt Zhang said that Ling Che slept in the guest room next to the master bedroom.

"I have work to do."

Qiao Ruyi withdrew her gaze, replied coldly, and went to the kitchen counter to pour water.

"It's almost ten o'clock. Have you done all the work in the Ye Qing Project Department by yourself?"

The man's tone was very impatient, and he frowned when he looked at her. "In that case, I'll make them all go away tomorrow."

“…” Qiao Ruyi felt speechless.

"This little tomcat is in my hands." Ling Che's words carried a naked threat. "I'm asking you again, are you coming or not?"

Qiao Ruyi looked over immediately and saw that Yuanyuan was indeed unaware of the danger and was lying on the man's legs, sleeping soundly.

The man put his hand on its furry body and looked at Qiao Ruyi with an attitude that said, "If you don't come, I'll crush it to death."

Qiao Ruyi walked up to him, snatched Yuanyuan back from his arms, and raised her eyelids, "Speak."

Tsk, so cold.

Ling Che grabbed her wrist and pulled her to sit next to him, looking at her with a smile, "I'm angry now, but you haven't calmed down yet?"

Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes and looked at him slowly, as if she was looking at a fool.

Is he completely calm?

All???

It's so funny, why is he angry?

She is not the one with the white moonlight, she is not the one who has an unclear relationship with others, and she is not the one who has a sweet past with others and denies it.

Why is he angry? What right does he have to be angry?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ling Che frowned. "Whatever you want to ask or know, I'll tell you."

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes and looked at the cat in her arms.

What do you want to know? What do you want to ask?

Even she herself didn't know what she wanted to ask.

Where should I start?

Why did he secretly go to the hospital to see Bai Yiyi without telling her since that day?

Or, he clearly said that his most determined choice was her, Qiao Ruyi, but turned around and saved Bai Yiyi. Although Aunt Zhuang was involved, she was just petty and she cared.

Or maybe he answered Bai Yiyi's call and left himself on the roadside.

Also, he didn't believe that there was nothing between her and Cheng Yimu.

More importantly, the sweet past between him and Bai Yiyi made her jealous, sad and helpless.

There were so many things she wanted to ask and say, but Qiao Ruyi knew that no matter what she asked or said, Ling Che would definitely have a better explanation waiting for her.

But she didn't know how much truth and how much falsehood there was in this explanation.

She seemed to have lost the ability to pursue and distinguish whether he was telling the truth or not.

Qiao Ruyi sighed and looked at him, "Ling Che, I've already told you everything I need to say."

"Don't choose me when you have to choose between two options. I won't be your backup option. Don't choose me when you have no choice. I won't be your forced choice."

She loved him wholeheartedly, and she could only make exceptions and preferences for him.

"What I want from Qiao Ruyi is just this simple. If you can't do it, then there's nothing to talk about between us."

She stood up and wanted to leave; she did have work to do.

She wanted to finish the project at hand quickly.

Ling Che held her hand and stopped her from leaving.

Qiao Ruyi looked down and met Ling Che's brown eyes when he looked up. His eyes were so deep and unfathomable that it was hard to tell.

"Qiao Ruyi."

Ling Che's tone softened, "Let's make peace."

Qiao Ruyi felt that she must have been hit on the head to see the pitiful look in Ling Che's eyes at this moment.

"It's not good to make peace." Qiao Ruyi pulled her hand back, "I hold a grudge."

She didn't look back at Ling Che, but quickly went upstairs with the little white cat in her arms.

Close the door and lock it, all in one smooth motion.

Hearing the sound of the door upstairs being locked, Ling Che leaned back on the sofa, took a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and took a few puffs irritably.

Qiao Ruyi is not going to take any action no matter what.

I hope you don’t really fall in love with that guy named Cheng.

The next day.

When Qiao Ruyi went downstairs, Ling Che was no longer in the villa.

Aunt Zhang said he went to the company early in the morning.

It was a rare occasion that he didn't bother her, so Qiao Ruyi had some peace and quiet, eating breakfast alone at the dining table.

"Young lady."

Aunt Zhang said as she tidied the sofa, "Young Master has been smoking a lot these past few nights. He must be worried about something."

Every morning when she cleaned the room, she would empty half the ashtrays in the guest room and living room.

Qiao Ruyi didn't even raise her head, "Beat him to death."

Aunt Zhang twitched her lips. The young lady was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. In fact, she must care about the young master.

She added earnestly, "Young Madam, your quarrel with the Young Master has been going on for quite a while this time... It's inevitable for a couple to live together. They quarrel at the beginning of the bed and make up at the end. Some things can be resolved by talking it out."

She felt that the young master doted on the young mistress, and the young mistress also had feelings for the young master. How could the two of them have been quarreling for so long and still not reconcile?

Qiao Ruyi didn't answer, but watched a text message pop up on her phone.

[Qiao Ruyi, I'm Ye Ke, can we chat? ]

She was cutting eggs and was slightly stunned. Ye Ke?

It's a really old name.

She almost forgot that this woman had once been around Ling Che.

......

A coffee shop on the corner.

When Qiao Ruyi saw Ye Ke again, she was really shocked and almost couldn't recognize her.

The long black hair that flowed when she sat on the back seat of Ling Che's motorcycle was gone, replaced by a head of uneven short hair that was shaved so tightly that the scalp was almost visible.

He was so thin that his body was emaciated, and the blue plaid cotton shirt he was wearing was so loose that it seemed like it would fly away with a breeze.

Her skin is not as white as before, but rough and dark yellow instead.

Qiao Ruyi never imagined that the girl who liked to wear black short skirts and ride motorcycles would become like this.

Ye Ke was not too surprised to see her. She was still as beautiful and charming as ever.

As proud and noble as ever.

"Qiao Ruyi." She looked at Qiao Ruyi with her lifeless eyes, "Long time no see."
