Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Chapter 408: Taking a Cold Shower for Several Nights

She remembered what Zhuang Ce had said to her in prison - go and burn incense for Shu Hui on March 3rd, and she would get the answer she wanted.

Zhuang Ce said that she could only go alone and could not tell anyone.

This answer should be a clue about Zhuang Ce's complicity, which is very important to Ling Che.

As long as she finds out the people behind these things and finds out the cause and effect of Uncle Ling's death, she and Ling Che will have a peaceful life.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Che looked down at her long eyelashes when she lowered her eyes, and glanced at the calendar she was looking at. There was no important date on it.

"It suddenly occurred to me that I've been quite busy these past few days." Qiao Ruyi looked up at his smooth profile and wrinkled her nose. "I can't go with you."

"What are you busy with?"

Qiao Ruyi raised her hand and rubbed his chin with her palm. "I have a lot of work to do, and the sample factory has finished making samples. If I don't go back to the company, Ye Qing and the others will be very anxious."

Although no one in the company dared to hold her accountable, there was still a lot of gossip behind the scenes.

"Okay." Ling Che didn't force her. After all, this trip to Country Y wasn't for fun. Something might happen there. It would be safest for her to stay in the country.

Glancing at her work computer, Ling Che closed the computer as soon as she had finished her work.

"What?" She also wanted to watch some design videos.

Ling Che placed one hand on the back of the sofa behind her and supported his other hand on her side. His deep and seductive gaze fell on her snow-white neck.

She was wearing the same style but different color home clothes as him. The loose clothes were baggy on her small body, covering up her graceful curves.

"Forty-six days." He leaned close to her ear and kissed her white earlobe, his voice low and charming.

This sound was like a hook that made Qiao Ruyi's little heart itch.

She shrank her neck. "W-What forty-six days?"

As she stepped back, Ling Che moved closer. "What do you think?"

His pleasant fragrance and refreshing breath spread across Qiao Ruyi's nose.

It's not that she doesn't understand.

It has been forty-six days since the last time I was kidnapped and taken to the hospital.

He hadn't touched her in those forty-six days.

For more than a dozen nights, she woke up from her hospital bed and found the bathroom light on and the sound of running water.

When he crawled back into the quilt, he felt a cool touch on his skin.

He took cold showers for more than a dozen nights.

It was just because the doctor told her that she was in poor health and had a miscarriage, so it would be best not to have sex in the near future.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ruyi's face flushed and her fair skin turned pink.

"I've been eating vegetarian food for more than forty days."

Ling Che's voice was hoarse, and his big hand caressed her flat belly, "You should be almost well now."

His palms were so hot that they could burn Qiao Ruyi's skin even through the thin cloth.

The heating in the room was sufficient, and Qiao Ruyi immediately felt her body getting warmer.

She pursed her lips, looked into Ling Che's surging eyes, and smiled faintly, "...I think so."

"Then you can eat meat."

Ling Che's narrow eyes narrowed, and he kissed her on her rosy lips, then picked her up from the sofa and strode towards the bedroom.

"Go for it."

......

Xu Mansion.

"My dear daughter, why are you still not asleep so late?"

The phone on the table was on speakerphone, and the middle-aged woman's worried voice came from the phone, "It should be 11 o'clock in the evening in China now, it's time to get some beauty sleep."

"Mom, I can't sleep."

Xu Zhaozhao sat on the sofa, looking at the huge and empty villa, with a voice full of grievance.

"Hey, what's going on?" Luo Qinghan pricked up her ears when she heard her daughter's aggrieved voice on the other end of the phone. Then she heard the clinking of wine glasses. "Zhao Zhao, what happened? Why are you drinking in the middle of the night?"

Xu Zhaozhao shook the red wine glass in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

Luo Qinghan heard his daughter sobbing and quickly called out, "Lao Xu, come quickly, is our precious daughter crying?"

After that, she comforted him into the phone, "Don't cry, Zhaozhao. Did you suffer any injustice after returning to China? Come and tell your father and let him take care of it for you."

Xu Tiancheng's voice came from the other end of the phone, as if he was talking to Luo Qinghan, "What kind of grievance can she endure? Who in the country can still bully her?"

Luo Qinghan was displeased when she heard this. "When has our precious daughter ever felt so wronged? Is it because she recently joined Ling Che's company and is not happy working there?"

"With Ling Che and Old Master Ling protecting her in the company, how could those subordinates still give her a hard time?"

Xu Tiancheng's words came through the phone, and Xu Zhaozhao cried even harder.

"If it's not about work, could it be about love?"

Luo Qinghan was extremely anxious, and quickly put the phone into Xu Tiancheng's hand to comfort him.

Hearing his daughter's grievance, Xu Tiancheng's voice softened, "Zhao Zhao, what's wrong?"

Xu Zhaozhao raised his head and took a sip of red wine. "Dad, I'm fine. I just miss you and mom."

"You missed us and you still have to go back to China." Xu Tiancheng said helplessly, "We asked you to go back with us, but you insisted on running back alone."

Xu Tiancheng said calmly, "When I got back, I found out that Ling Che didn't have you in his heart at all. He had a stable relationship with his wife. I fell for him, and now I'm thinking about my parents again."

Xu Zhaozhao was stunned as she held the wine glass, and quickly wiped away her tears, "Dad, how did you know?"

"You're my daughter, don't I know what you're thinking?" Xu Tiancheng said, "You're going back just for Ling Che, right? You've always loved clinging to him since you were little. When our family's marriage to the Ling family fell through, you must have been thinking about it."

"When you heard that Ling Che and his wife weren't getting along in the first two years, you rushed back home. I warned you then that the woman he married wasn't simple. If their relationship really wasn't good, would they have managed to hold onto it for so many years without getting a divorce?"

Xu Zhaozhao didn't expect her father to see through her thoughts. She felt even more aggrieved and her voice lowered. "Ling Che has changed a lot. He's completely different from before. I don't know what he's thinking now. Whenever I want to get close to him, he coldly rejects me."

"If a man's heart is completely occupied by a woman, he won't have any room for anyone else." Xu Tiancheng raised his hand and picked up the teacup. "If you want to squeeze in, you have to make room for that woman."

Xu Zhaozhao quickly put down the wine glass in her hand when she heard it, "Then what should I do to make room for her?"

"Instead of wasting time on Ling Che, you should spend time on that woman. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to success." Xu Tiancheng looked at the tea in his hand. "As long as that woman retreats, it's your chance to squeeze in."
