Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

"Are you nervous?"

The thin lips slowly left her lips, and the man's low voice fell into her ears.

When she did bad things behind his back, her heartbeat would always betray her first.

Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes and saw the man taking off his mask. His three-dimensional and delicate face was reflected in her eyes. She was surprised and happy.

"You didn't just drive away just now because you were afraid they would get suspicious?"

Qiao Ruyi looked at his thin lips which were still stained with water and thought for a moment, could it be that he left them there because he suddenly wanted to kiss her?

Ling Che's deep eyes swept over her slightly serious expression, as if he guessed the doubt in her heart, and raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, "No, I just want to kiss you."

"......" Qiao Ruyi blinked and looked at him.

Before he could say anything, she pushed him into the passenger seat, then he turned around and sat in the driver's seat, and the sports car whooshed away.

......

A light purple sports car was driving on the road. The man in the driver's seat was holding the steering wheel. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man in the passenger seat skillfully changing out of his black work clothes, then tearing off the property management logos pinned on his clothes and hat and throwing them out of the window.

After everything was sorted out, he finally sat back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The logo was glued on, and the clothes were prepared in advance." Ling Che silently curled his lips, "It seems you did a lot of homework."

There was a hint of laughter in his words, but Qiao Ruyi could hear a hint of anger and coldness in them.

She turned her head to look at the man's handsome profile, knowing that she could no longer tell any lies in front of him.

"Where did you get that business card?" he asked.

Qiao Ruyi confessed honestly, "When I was talking to the property management, I..."

Ling Che glanced at her, "Did you just touch it?"

"I didn't touch it," Qiao Ruyi defended. "I just picked one up."

Ling Che chuckled and turned to look at her, "Qiao Ruyi, you're just lucky. If the person who opened the door for you today had been smarter, you would have been caught long ago."

Qiao Ruyi asked in confusion, "Why?"

Ling Che looked at her and said word by word, "Tang Hong, the head of the maintenance department, resigned a month ago."

Qiao Ruyi looked at him in surprise. So, the property department forgot to change their business card?

It was really almost there.

"How come you know everything?"

"Or else?" Ling Che asked with a smile, "Just rush in like you did, waiting to be caught by Ling Xiu De?"

After saying this, he chuckled softly, "You even know how to use a conductive pen to crack fingerprints. It seems you've been learning a lot lately without telling me."

Qiao Ruyi looked up at him. It turned out that he had seen everything she did since she entered the door today.

"You said you had something to deal with, and you came to Ling Xiu De's house?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Ling Che asked back, "You said you'd be back late at the Qiao Residence. When did Ling Xiude's house become the Qiao Residence?"

Well...Qiao Ruyi was speechless again.

They both kept it a secret from each other and neither of them told anyone else.

"Did you learn that mediocre counterattack from Song Xilan?"

Ling Che steered the car with a faint smile on his lips.

He was slightly surprised when she turned around and stabbed him with the conductive pen. Judging from her movements, she must have learned a few self-defense techniques, but she was not very good at them, or she did not have enough time to learn them.

Qi Jin and Qi Shui would not teach her without his instructions. Among the people around her, only Song Xilan knew a few self-defense techniques.

His eyes glanced at her legs. No wonder she had been wearing long pants every day since some time ago.

When they were making love that night, he noticed that there were purple bruises on both of her knees, not only on her knees, but also on her calves and arms. However, she was unwilling to tell him what she was doing at that time, so he did not ask.

So that night, in order to protect her knees, he almost never let her lie down.

It turned out that the kitten had started to practice its claws.

At this moment, Qiao Ruyi was like a piece of white paper that he had spread out, and every horizontal and vertical line on it was clearly visible to Ling Che.

She twisted her fingers, unable to think of any excuses. After a long while, she managed to utter, "You knew it was me a long time ago, and you still pointed a gun at me!"

Ling Che laughed. She knew she had no more tricks and started to change her tactics.

The sports car just drove into the Yujingwan garage. The car was turned off and Ling Che unbuckled his seat belt. "When did I point a gun at you?"

"Don't deny it." Qiao Ruyi pretended to be angry, "You knew it was me but you tried to scare me on purpose."

"Are you talking about this?" Ling Che leaned closer to her and put his big hand on her back.

Then Qiao Ruyi's back stiffened, and she clearly felt the hard muzzle of the gun sliding down her back. She suddenly grabbed Ling Che's right hand and picked it up -

There was nothing there except his clean, slender fingertips.

Qiao Ruyi frowned, "Fingers?"

Ling Che curled his lips and smiled softly, "Where did you get the gun?"

Qiao Ruyi became even angrier. It turned out that it was his fingers that frightened her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

He was teasing her on purpose!

Returning to the living room, Ling Che took off his clothes and hat and threw them aside. He walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice water, and drank half of it.

Qiao Ruyi looked at his handsome face beneath his messy hair and smiled, "Ling Che, I'm curious how you recognized me."

Ling Che poured another cup of warm water and handed it to her, "What about you?"

Qiao Ruyi held the water cup in her hand, the perfect temperature transmitting through it to her palm. She raised her eyes and looked at Ling Che with a smile, "Heartbeat."

Ling Che raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Heartbeat?"

Qiao Ruyi pointed at the clothes he had thrown aside and said, "You don't have a familiar smell on you today. I really didn't know it was you at first, but when you pushed me against the wall and got close to me, my heartbeat recognized you before I did."

She placed her hand on her heart and looked up at Ling Che's light brown pupils, her eyes full of smiles, "So I wasn't afraid at all at that time."

The corners of Ling Che's lips were beautifully curved, and his narrow eyes were filled with a smile.

He supported his hands on her sides, leaned over and looked her in the eyes, his voice gentle, "Are you not afraid of falling and becoming stupid?"

Qiao Ruyi shook her head. "I'm not afraid. Besides, you said I won't get hurt as long as you're around. I feel safe around you."

"So," Ling Che narrowed his eyes at her, "Qiao Ruyi, you've been investigating Ling Xiu De without telling me? To be more precise, you're investigating his relationship with Zhuang Ce, helping me find clues to the murderer of my father?"

Qiao Ruyi's hand holding the water cup trembled slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth faded. "You also suspect that there is something wrong with Ling Xiu De, right?"

"That's not what you should be thinking about." Ling Che stared at her seriously, "Qiao Ruyi, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get yourself involved."

Qiao Ruyi's grip on the water cup tightened, "I can help you."

She quickly pulled out the phone she had taken the photo on, "Look, I cracked the fingerprint and took this. These numbers might hold some clues."

Ling Che snatched her phone away and threw it on the bar. "Qiao Ruyi, the real way to help me isn't to risk your life, but to stay by my side. If you have to do this kind of thing, then am I really that useless?"
