The man at the door walked in and closed the door without saying a word, all in one go.

He put the things in his hands on the dining table, took off his coat, and looked at Qiao Ruyi expressionlessly, "Let me use the sink for you."

Qiao Ruyi was still wondering when he became so polite when she saw him striding towards the bathroom.

Then turn on the tap and start washing your hands.

Qiao Ruyi stood at the bathroom door and suddenly understood. He was carefully washing the finger that had been hooked by the pine nuts.

I was so disgusted that I felt like rubbing the skin off my fingers.

"You're so disgusted now, but I didn't see you hiding just now."

As soon as Qiao Ruyi said this, she realized that she seemed a little sarcastic.

Ling Che didn't say anything and looked very unhappy.

I didn't come out of the bathroom until I washed my hands several times.

Glancing at her bare feet, he walked back into the room, picked up a pair of shoes and threw them at her feet, "Put them on and have breakfast."

The tone was cold.

Angry.

Qiao Ruyi understood it at a glance.

She watched him stride to the dining table and only then noticed that what he had just brought in his hand was a packed breakfast.

In other words, he stayed here last night, and then left at some point. He went back and changed his clothes and bought breakfast to bring over.

After opening the breakfast, Qiao Ruyi was shocked for a few seconds.

What is placed in front of you is an authentic Chinese breakfast.

There are no authentic Chinese restaurants in Bristol, let alone breakfasts that require effort.

Qiao Ruyi watched Ling Che's slender fingers open the boxes one by one, then handed her the chopsticks, "Eat while it's hot."

"Where did you buy it?" asked Qiao Ruyi.

Ling Che originally wanted to say it casually because it was not an important matter.

He thought for a moment before finally telling the whole story, "When I first went abroad, I couldn't get used to the food here, so where I live, a Chinese chef takes care of my three meals a day."

Before Qiao Ruyi could continue asking, he answered her question first, "I'm staying in London, and breakfast was delivered by helicopter this morning."

Qiao Ruyi gasped and almost dropped the soup dumpling in her hand.

Taking a helicopter from London to Bristol for just one breakfast is too much.

Ling Che noticed her surprise and smiled faintly, "Actually, the distance between the two cities is less than 200 kilometers. It would take less than an hour to get there by helicopter, so we can have a hot meal."

Qiao Ruyi looked at the breakfast in her hand, pondered for a moment, then looked up at him, "Ling Che, I——"

"Did you sleep well last night?" Ling Che interrupted her.

He knew that Qiao Ruyi didn't listen to what he said last night, otherwise she wouldn't have changed him from "ex-husband" to "a Chinese person she met by chance" in front of strangers.

So no matter what she said now, it was definitely not what he wanted to hear.

Qiao Ruyi didn't know whether Ling Che asked this casually or on purpose.

Didn’t he hear the sound yesterday that was so loud that it was like someone hitting the wall?

Qiao Ruyi nodded and said, "I slept well."

Ling Che looked at the dark circles under her eyes, with a meaningful smile in his eyes.

Qiao Ruyi quickly lowered her head and took a bite of the bun.

Seeing her puffy cheeks, Ling Che smiled gently.

After breakfast, Qiao Ruyi changed her clothes and came out. The man had not left yet and was making a phone call in the living room.

It seemed that the person on the other end of the conversation was Special Assistant Shen, and the two were discussing company matters.

Qiao Ruyi can follow up on LS Group’s design projects online without delaying the progress.

But Ling Che is different. He is the one in charge of the company and he can't stay here forever.

and......

Qiao Ruyi lowered his eyes. There was no need for him to continue wasting time with her.

The man hung up the phone and turned around to see her standing at the bedroom door looking at him.

He raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"

"Ling Che." Qiao Ruyi sighed softly, "You should go back."

Her expression was one of relief.

"Look, we can all sit down and eat together now, which proves that I don't hate you anymore."

She curled her lips slightly, "If I don't hate you anymore, it also means I don't love you anymore, so there's really no need for you to keep wasting time with me."

Does not hating mean not loving anymore?

What is the logic?

Ling Che frowned, "What are you talking about?"

Qiao Ruyi took a step forward and met the man's deep gaze.

She raised her hand and gently touched the man's frown, trying to smooth it out.

Her fingertips felt slightly cold, and the man's pupils shrank.

"We really can't go back. Let's get a divorce." Qiao Ruyi said softly, looking at him with a faint smile, "Let's go back to three years ago, when we didn't know each other."

"Okay?"

She asked softly, without the previous decisiveness and indifference, as if she was discussing it with him.

Discuss whether he can set her free.

Her rare gentleness made the man stunned for a moment.

She smiled gently and asked him to agree to a divorce.

The man's chest heaved and his eyes gradually turned red.

After a few seconds, he opened his thin lips and said, "Okay."

He agreed to a divorce.

When Qiao Ruyi heard the man's word "good", her fingers suddenly trembled and her nose felt sore.

My eyes gradually became moist.

It’s hard to describe how she felt. She seemed relieved, but not very happy either.

She nodded, her voice choking as she spoke, "Then you...you go back first, and when I return in a few days...we'll complete the paperwork."

After Qiao Ruyi finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at his face again.

She was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.

She turned to leave, but someone grabbed her wrist.

The man walked up to her, trying his best to suppress his emotions, his voice hoarse, "Qiao Ruyi, we must be fair. I promised you that I would agree to a divorce, but you also have to promise me one thing."

Yes, we should be fair.

Since he has agreed to divorce, there is nothing she cannot agree to.

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes and nodded, "You say."

"Give me a chance to tell you everything."

Ling Che held her wrist tightly and met her surprised gaze. "If you still choose to leave me after listening to this, I will let you go."

......

Ling Che pulled Qiao Ruyi out of the apartment, and as soon as they went downstairs, they saw an inappropriate figure.

"elder sister!"

Qin Chao stood downstairs, his eyes bright with smile, "Finally I've waited for you. I thought you had gone out early this morning."

Qiao Ruyi glanced at Ling Che, whose face was clearly not looking good, and asked Qin Chao, "Why are you waiting for me?"

"I'm taking you out for a walk." Qin Chao's eyes fell on Ling Che holding her hand, revealing a look of disdain. "Sister, he's your ex-husband, why are you still letting him hold your hand?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Ruyi clearly felt the hand on her wrist gripping tighter.

Suddenly seeing the bruise on the corner of Qin Chao's mouth, she asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

Why does it feel like I was beaten?

"Here." Qin Chao touched the corner of his mouth nonchalantly, glanced at Ling Che calmly, and looked at Qiao Ruyi with a smile, "I accidentally fell yesterday. Is this because you care about me, sister?"

Ling Che's patience had reached its limit. He glanced at him and said, "Get lost."

Qin Chao seemed not to hear him and asked Qiao Ruyi, "Where are you going to play? Can I go with you?"

Before Qiao Ruyi could say anything, she saw the man next to her kick Qin Chao.

"Ah!" Qiao Ruyi exclaimed.

Ling Che's kick landed on Qin Chao's abdomen, sending the latter huddled on the ground.

Qin Chao curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.

He didn't use any harsh force when he beat him yesterday, but today he showed Ling Che's true temper.

Qiao Ruyi widened her eyes and was about to go up to see Qin Chao when she was dragged away forcefully.
