Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

In the entire huge restaurant, there was only one person sitting by the window.

He was wearing black and a white shirt, leaning loosely on the back of the bench seat, his arms casually resting on the dining table. The cigarette at his fingertips burned to the end, but he forgot to put it out until he felt a burning sensation, then he put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

Looking in the direction of Qiao Ruyi, "Here it comes."

His tone was gentle, without any blame.

Qiao Ruyi walked over step by step. She didn't expect that Ling Che would wait here forever given his temper.

She originally thought that if she broke the appointment on purpose, he would be impatient, angry, or even have a fight with her.

She was also prepared to argue with him.

But that's not the case.

There was no trace of impatience or irritation on his face.

Qiao Ruyi clenched her palms, met his deep gaze, frowned and asked, "Why are you still here? I already told you I'm meeting a client and can't come over, what are you still waiting for?"

"Which client?"

Ling Che smiled and asked softly, "Which client of the company needs you to meet?"

"Why, are you doubting me?" Qiao Ruyi smiled softly. "Ling Che, you're controlling my whereabouts and interfering with my work. Can you give me some freedom?"

Ling Che stood up, walked to the window and looked down.

After a few seconds, he turned around and stared at her impatient expression with his eyes lowered. "Qiao Ruyi, can you tell me what exactly makes you unhappy?"

"You deliberately broke the appointment because you wanted me to experience what it's like to wait for someone, right?"

He stepped forward and held Qiao Ruyi's arms, his voice softening. "Ruyi, you waited for me like this on your birthday last year, right?"

"I know it's not pleasant to wait from dusk till midnight."

His tall body enveloped her as he whispered, "I was wrong that time. I wasn't good enough. I understand how you felt back then. So could you please forgive me for that time and stop fighting with me?"

Qiao Ruyi's tears were almost falling.

He raised his eyes after a few seconds, impatience still visible in them.

"Ling Che, you're overthinking it. I just had a meal with a client and forgot the time."

She looked at him with a faint smile, "It's getting late, let's go home."

She turned around and tried to leave, but someone pulled her back.

Ling Che stepped forward and stood in front of her, looking down into her eyes. "Are you hiding something from me? Your attitude towards me is very different today. You haven't given me a good look the entire day since I came back. Tell me honestly, did anything happen while I was away?"

"What could I possibly be hiding from you? You know everything about my whereabouts, how could I possibly hide it from you?"

Qiao Ruyi pinched her palms, her eyes filled with deep helplessness, "Ling Che, can you please stop being so suspicious? I'm tired after a day and don't want to argue with you."

"go home."

"Qiao Ruyi."

As she turned around, Ling Che's cold voice sounded behind her.

She didn't look back, but she could feel the chill emanating from him behind her.

"Am I being suspicious, or are you lying to me?"

Qiao Ruyi froze, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Ling Che stared at her back with a deep gaze, "You broke my date and had dinner with Cheng Yimu. What on earth do you want to do?"

Qiao Ruyi turned around in surprise, "How did you know?"

"So surprised?" Ling Che sneered and threw his open phone on the table.

There was a photo in the phone, a photo of her and Cheng Yimu having dinner in a restaurant.

Clearly.

He really didn't know at first, but unfortunately the restaurant they went to happened to be owned by him.

The hotel manager even knows his boss and his wife.

So this photo came to him.

"You were afraid I'd see your location, so you didn't even drive, just to go see Cheng Yimu?" He tapped the table with his slender fingers a few times, "Explain why."

Qiao Ruyi turned around. At this moment, his handsome face was tense and his thin lips were pursed into a line.

It was his usual expression of controlling his temper.

"What's there to explain?" Qiao Ruyi said nonchalantly, "I just wanted to treat him to a meal and forgot the time we agreed on."

Facing Ling Che's increasingly cold eyes, Qiao Ruyi smiled softly, "There's nothing between us. We're just having a meal. Is there any need to be so angry?"

Every word and tone of her voice played on his minefield, igniting the fuse that was about to explode.

Ling Che's deep eyes were fixed on her face with a faint smile.

After a while, he smiled lightly, "Okay, you said you were just having a meal, I don't mind."

"You said you forgot your promise to me. I won't mind. I'll make it up to you another day."

He picked up the exquisite black gift box that had been on the table, strode forward, took her hand, and said, "Go home."

Qiao Ruyi's hand was firmly wrapped in his big palm, and when she tried to struggle, he held her hand even tighter.

Ling Che pulled her out without saying anything. Qiao Ruyi stared at his tall back, her nose feeling sore.

She knew how aggrieved Ling Che felt at the moment, but he swallowed it all.

Even though she was being unreasonable, he never said a harsh word to her.

The more he compromised, the more painful it was for her.

After going downstairs, he stuffed Qiao Ruyi into the sports car.

The man sat in the driver's seat and started the car without saying a word.

The sports car was speeding on the road late at night. The atmosphere in the car dropped to freezing point and no one spoke first.

She glanced at the person in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror with deep eyes, and then she turned her head to look out the window.

"Where's the necklace?" he asked.

As soon as they met today, Ling Che discovered that she was not wearing the amulet he gave her.

"Uh..." Qiao Ruyi raised her hand and touched the collar. "I took it off when I took a shower yesterday and I don't know where I put it. I can't find it today."

Ling Che laughed angrily, "Okay, I'll ask for one for you another day."

"No thanks." Qiao Ruyi refused without a second thought, "That necklace doesn't go with my clothes, and I don't wear it very often."

Ling Che didn't respond, but stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and drove back to Yujingwan.

As soon as she entered the door and before she could turn on the light, Qiao Ruyi was grabbed by the wrist by a big hand and pushed against the wall.

Ling Che showered her with kisses, leaving her breathless.

His low and aggrieved voice pierced her ears, "Qiao Ruyi, I've really missed you these past two days. I've been thinking about it all day and still can't figure out what I did wrong to make you so cold to me."

The tip of his tall nose touched hers, and their lips were almost touching. "Let's talk it out, okay? What am I not doing well enough for? What are you dissatisfied with me about? Tell me."

In the darkness, Qiao Ruyi couldn't see his expression, she could only feel his hot breath spreading across her nose.

His deep and powerful heartbeat was extremely clear in the dark night, and every beat hit Qiao Ruyi's heart and made it hurt.

Trying hard to steady her breath, she opened her mouth, but her throat felt like it was filled with lead, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a sound.

"Ling Che, I don't seem to like you that much anymore."
