Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

When Qiao Ruyi thought about what happened last night, her face flushed.

This...how did we get from serious business to this matter again?

How come he always has the ability to make up lies?

"Let's put it this way." Qiao Ruyi pointed at the contract on the table. "I didn't want this in the first place. I just took it back from Qiao He and gave it back to you."

"If you don't want it, that's your business, but if I give it to you, you have to accept it." Ling Che pushed the contract to her, "I said, I won't ask you about your work, but I will help you if you need me. Even if there is no contract, I will invest in Qiao Group as long as you ask."

"Qiao Ruyi." Ling Che stared at her with deep eyes and smiled, "Now you know why I ignored you, right? You don't even know how to comfort someone?"

"Okay." Qiao Ruyi walked over to him, sat on the desk in front of him, and put her arms around his neck. "I just want to handle this matter impartially. I don't want you to be accused of using your position for personal gain by other shareholders."

"So what?" Ling Che raised his eyebrows and smiled, placing his big hand on her waist and pinching it, "Do I care?"

"I care." Qiao Ruyi smiled, "I don't want them to say anything about you."

"Then be nice to me." Ling Che looked up at her and smiled, then pulled her to sit on his lap. "I don't care what others say about me, just be kind to me."

Qiao Ruyi stared into his deep and gentle eyes and hugged him, "Ling Che, will you always believe in me and never change your feelings for me?"

"The fact that you still have such doubts proves that I haven't done my job well enough." Ling Che thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "I've been quite honest lately. Is there anything you can misunderstand?"

"That's not it." Qiao Ruyi said in a muffled voice, "You're already fine."

Ling Che's big hand caressed her back and asked, "I can buy Qiao's shares in your name."

Qiao Ruyi immediately shook her head, "No, I don't want it."

Qiao Ruyi's eyes dimmed. She thought of Qiao Group as a gift from her to him.

Ling Che held the back of her neck with his hand, stroking it gently with his fingertips. "Then what do you want?"

Qiao Ruyi was slightly startled, and her nose felt a little sore.

Her thoughts were too simple. She just wanted to be with Ling Che for the rest of her life, peaceful and simple.

I don't ask for anything else.

"I'll tell you later."

Qiao Ruyi suddenly thought of something, released his hands and straightened up, "After the Zhuang Ce incident was over, did you find out anything else?"

Ling Che shook his head, "There aren't many clues, but there must be a lot of things behind this that I can't imagine."

Qiao Ruyi was slightly stunned. That meant that he wouldn't be able to find Qiao He for a while.

Then she could steal more time to be with him.

"I've been wondering what exactly Zhuang Ce wanted from me." Ling Che frowned slightly, his eyes dimmed, and his fingers gently stroked Qiao Ruyi's hair.

Qiao Ruyi also thought of Zhuang Ce's behavior at that time. "He also asked me at that time whether Uncle Ling and Aunt Zhuang left anything for me, or for you."

Ling Che frowned and thought for a moment. When Ling Zhengqing died, he didn't even leave him a single word, let alone anything important.

The phone suddenly rang, bringing them back to their thoughts.

Qiao Ruyi quickly got up from Ling Che's lap and picked up her cell phone.

Feeling the other person's gaze, she quickly handed the caller ID of her phone to Ling Che to see, "It's Xilan."

Ling Che raised his eyebrows slightly, "I didn't say it was someone else."

"Don't be too obvious about your little thoughts." Qiao Ruyi smiled, not knowing who was jealous.

Thinking of this, she said, "I and Yimu——"

Before she could finish, Ling Che pointed at the phone in her hand and said, "Answer the call."

There were some things she didn't need to explain, he already knew them.

Qiao Ruyi answered the phone, responded briefly and hung up.

Turning back to Ling Che, he said, "Xilan is organizing a dinner party tonight and wants Fang Ran and I to go have dinner together. I can't accompany you."

Ling Che shrugged, looking nonchalant. "What a coincidence! I also have a dinner party tonight."

Qiao Ruyi frowned when she heard this. She stepped forward and lifted his chin, "Tell me the truth, who was it that confessed to you that night?"

"I thought you didn't care." Ling Che smiled.

"Say it!"

"A..." Ling Che rolled his eyes and said deliberately, "a man."

Qiao Ruyi's eyes suddenly widened and she gasped, "He he he he he likes you? A man likes you?"

Ling Che looked at her innocently, "If you say that, it might ruin Song Yanzhi's luck in love."

Qiao Ruyi immediately realized, "So you did it on purpose!"

"He did it on purpose." Ling Che quickly shifted the blame, "I had no idea he would do this."

Qiao Ruyi leaned closer, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Want to see if I'm jealous?"

Ling Che grabbed the back of her head with his backhand and pushed her down a little, "Are you jealous?"

His deep pupils reflected Qiao Ruyi's appearance. Qiao Ruyi lowered her head and bit the corner of his lip, "I'm jealous! I'm almost as jealous as a pickle."

After saying that, he bit down again, feeling unsatisfied.

Ling Che was very satisfied with her answer. He held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

......

"Oh no, Mr. Qiao!"

In the Qiao Mansion, Qiao He had just taken antihypertensive medicine. He closed his eyes and took a short nap because he was too mentally exhausted. Qiu Gui's hurried voice woke him up again.

Qiu Gui hurried over. "The PR department has already issued a statement refuting the rumors, as the young lady requested. The public opinion has cooled down a bit, and some netizens believe this is an AI-generated photo, but...but..."

Qiu Gui had a worried look on his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qiao He's face grew darker and darker, "But what?"

"But then several popular accounts with tens of millions of followers revealed the inside story, saying that this photo wasn't a composite, but a genuine photo! Not only that, they even listed every detail of the photo's real-life shoot, even revealing the time and location it was taken!"

When Qiao He heard this, he collapsed on the sofa and said, "Time... Place..."

"Mr. Qiao!" Qiu Gui hurried to help him. "People online are saying that someone deliberately leaked this photo. Who do you think did it?"

This sentence was like a blow to Qiao He.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

The only person who can take this photo is the person involved.

Besides him, that is...

Just then, the phone in Qiao Mansion rang.

Qiu Gui quickly picked up the phone, and the next second, he looked at Qiao He in shock.

"Looking for Madam Li... saying... to thank her for the tip."
