Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Ling Che let go of her and pulled her into the back seat of the luxury car.

Blocked out from the morning breeze outside, the warmth in the car dispelled the coolness from Qiao Ruyi's body.

She didn't know whether she was really cold or scared, but she didn't even notice that her body was shaking involuntarily.

Sitting in the back seat, Ling Che took off his coat and wrapped it around her.

The warm breath instantly enveloped her, and Qiao Ruyi's eyes reddened, feeling both aggrieved and happy.

"Qiao He is Qiao He, and you are you." Ling Che pulled the coat around her tightly. "I won't take my anger out on you just because of what Qiao He did. I haven't gotten to that point yet."

"Besides," Ling Che stared at Qiao Ruyi with deep eyes, "he can't become a barrier between us."

What the hell is this hurdle in the heart? It’s all bullshit!

Qiao Ruyi looked at him in surprise, "Then you were angry last night because..."

"Don't you know why I'm angry?" Ling Che asked with a frown.

Qiao Ruyi frowned and thought for two seconds, and roughly guessed something.

"I'm angry that you, Qiao Ruyi, didn't need me from the beginning to the end!"

Ling Che raised his hand and lifted her chin, saying seriously, "Forget the right to make a decision. With you, I don't even have the most basic right to know. You can say yes or no at the same time. You would rather listen to the old man's nonsense than tell me the truth. You make me feel that this relationship is worthless. I cherish the relationship with you, but you despise it."

"not like this......"

Hearing him question their relationship, tears immediately welled up in Qiao Ruyi's eyes. She quickly threw herself into Ling Che's arms and hugged him tightly with both hands.

"I care about you too much, I'm afraid you won't want me anymore..."

She sobbed and cried in his arms, "That's why I used that stupid method..."

The person in his arms was crying and shaking. Ling Che's hand fell on her back, patting her gently.

"So, when are you coming home?"

Qiao Ruyi stopped crying and sobbed softly, thinking she had heard wrongly.

The back of my neck was gently pinched, "I'm asking you a question."

Qiao Ruyi reacted, stepped back a bit, and answered honestly, "I'll go back as soon as Xile recovers. The doctor said his mental state isn't very good, so he might need several days."

She looked well-behaved. Ling Che raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, his lips curled up, "I'll give you time. I hope you'll keep your promise."

Qiao Ruyi nodded repeatedly.

"Qiao Ruyi." Ling Che looked at her deeply. "This kind of thing only happens once in this lifetime."

He could only bear it that once.

That time, her annoyed expression and cold tone were enough to torture him to death.

Qiao Ruyi sat down, raised four fingers and said quickly, "I promise, I will never do such a stupid thing again."

Ling Che was amused by her earnest assurance, "You're quite self-aware."

I know I did a stupid thing.

Qiao Ruyi saw that he smiled, so she moved closer to him, raised her head and asked, "Are you not angry with me anymore?"

Ling Che raised his eyebrows, "You're so proud of me being so easy to please."

Qiao Ruyi kissed him on the cheek, "Ling Che, apart from this matter, I, Qiao Ruyi, really haven't hidden anything from you."

She spoke seriously, her thick eyelashes were wet with tears from crying.

"Not a single one?" Ling Che asked with a smile.

"No!" Qiao Ruyi shook her head firmly.

Ling Che stared at her delicate face, smiled and said nothing.

Qiao Ruyi played with his fingers. His fingers were white and slender, with round and clean fingertips trimmed. Each finger had distinct joints and his wrist bones were delicate, just like a carefully crafted work of art.

only......

Qiao Ruyi's fingertips felt the thin calluses on his palms. She had asked him before why he had calluses on his hands. At that time, he laughed and said that it was because he beat people too many times.

She had thought he was joking.

Now that I think about it, this statement is half true and half false.

The calluses on his palms are the medals of his hard work over the years.

He has endured hardships that ordinary people have never experienced, and has escaped death many times.

Everyone around him wanted to harm him, including his uncle and cousin.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Uncle Ling had ulterior motives when he left him in Country Y.

"Ling Che." Qiao Ruyi interlocked her fingers with his and looked up at him. "I remember you told me that you almost died in a car accident the year we got married."

When she suddenly mentioned this, Ling Che's pupils shrank and his fingertips couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Feeling his abnormality, Qiao Ruyi thought that he was feeling palpitations because the incident was still fresh in his mind, so she covered his slightly cool fingertips with her other hand.

She raised her head, her eyes beautiful, "You said that it was Bai Yiyi who saved you, so you owe her a life."

Bai Yiyi's name seemed to have been missing for a long time. When it was mentioned again, Qiao Ruyi felt familiar yet unfamiliar.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm quite grateful to her."

Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes and smiled with relief, "If it weren't for her, you might have had an accident at that time, and I wouldn't have had the chance to marry you, let alone fall in love with you."

She held his hand tighter, raised her head again, and smiled. "Although she did many things that were too extreme, I forgive her because she saved your life."

Noticing Ling Che's furrowed brows and deep eyes, he fixed his gaze on hers.

Qiao Ruyi met his probing eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling Che frowned, and spoke in a low voice, "The mastermind behind the car accident—"

"Who is it?" Qiao Ruyi interrupted him and asked quickly, "Have you found out?"

Her tone was urgent, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on Ling Che's hand. "To be able to deliberately plan this car accident and leave you no way to investigate, the person behind this must be very meticulous. If it's Zhuang Ce, he's already dead and not a big deal. If it's Ling Xiu De, you must be more careful. I'm afraid he could do the same thing a second time."

She frowned and analyzed, but Ling Che's eyes were fixed on her, with emotions surging in his eyes.

"Why aren't you talking?" Qiao Ruyi looked at Ling Che and saw that his frown suddenly relaxed and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but he did not answer her question.

"It's okay." Ling Che smiled and clasped her hand tightly, pinching her fair face with his other hand. "I already know who it is."

Her eyes could not lie, and he already knew the answer from her eyes.

"Who is it?" Qiao Ruyi asked hurriedly, "Zhuang Ce, Ling Xiude, or Qiao He?"

Ling Che smiled softly, "I've already dealt with it."

Qiao Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Qiao Ruyi." Ling Che suddenly called her name.

"Hmm?" Qiao Ruyi looked up, her beautiful big eyes reflecting his smile.

Ling Che met her clear eyes. She was right. She was no longer hiding anything from him.
