His voice was almost doting, "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to come here alone? Do you need to do it yourself if you want to get rid of this?"

When Li Ling heard this, her face turned pale. "Ling Che, this Qiao Mansion is also Ruyi's home, and we are also Ruyi's elders. As the son-in-law of the Qiao family, you can't protect others like this..."

Ling Che interrupted her coldly, "I'm marrying Qiao Ruyi, not the entire Qiao family. If Ruyi cares about your feelings, then my Ling family will. If Ruyi doesn't, then the Qiao Mansion means nothing to me, Ling Che."

"Ruyi is my wife. Bullying her is like stepping on my head. Until now, no one has dared to step on my head."

His words were sharp and merciless.

With every word she spoke, Li Ling's face fell a little.

He looked at Li Ling, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, "Aunt Li, do you want to be the first one?"

Li Ling was immediately silenced by his words, not daring to make a sound.

She had heard of Ling Che's vicious style of doing things.

......

Qiao He stood with his back to the other person, his chest heaving violently, looking very angry.

Qiao Ruyi passed by him without even looking at him.

"You haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband, nor as a father, but I still called you 'Dad' all these years. Now you have shown no mercy at all and are even going so far as to remove my mother's last remaining tablet. I will never forgive you."

After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Li Ling, who was startled by her knife-like eyes.

"I'll give you three days. Within three days, return my mother's tablet and her photo to me intact."

"Otherwise, I don't know what I will do next time."

Her tone was cold, and when she finished speaking, Li Ling got goose bumps all over her body.

When he opened the car door and was about to get in, Qiao Ruyuan rushed to the door with disheveled hair, crying to Ling Che unwillingly with a red and swollen face.

"Brother Ling Che! Do you think Qiao Ruyi really wants to marry you? She just wants to use your power to bully me and my mother!"

"She's just a mercenary woman! Don't be fooled by her!"

"Enough!" Qiao He roared, "You still think the Qiao Mansion isn't embarrassing enough today, right?"

Ling Che chuckled barely perceptibly when he heard this, then got into the car and said, "Let's go back to Yujingwan."

......

The car was so quiet that you could hear breathing.

Qiao Ruyi leaned in the back seat with a pale face and closed her eyes.

Ling Che's eyes fell on her slightly trembling hand, and then he took her hand in his and held it in his palm.

Her fingers were cold and there was a hint of sweat on her palms.

Feeling the warmth on her hand, Qiao Ruyi didn't open her eyes. She tried to pull her hand away but was held tightly.

"It's been performed."

Her voice was still slightly hoarse when she spoke.

She understood that what happened at the Qiao family just now was just a show put on by Ling Che to save face.

Just like every time I went back to the Qiao family, they acted like a loving couple.

Ling Che glanced at her slightly closed eyes, her long and thick eyelashes hanging down like two small fans.

He asked, "Just now, did you really not want to live anymore?"

"Maybe." She replied calmly.

It’s not that I don’t want to live, but I want to drag them to death with me.

Ling Che held her hand tighter, smiling as he said, "If you die like this, our Ling Group's stock will plummet."

Are you still concerned about his stocks at this time?

He really has no conscience at all.

Qiao Ruyi slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, saying unhappily, "It's so hard to talk to you."

"Then don't say it."

There was a faint smile hidden in Ling Che's narrow eyes. He lowered his head and kissed Qiao Ruyi's pale lips.

Qiao Ruyi did not resist this time.

Since she had no strength to resist, she just let him do whatever he wanted.

Ling Che was not as overbearing as before, but he caressed her lips very gently until her pale lips became rosy from his kiss, and then he left her lips with satisfaction.

He lowered his eyes and smiled. It looked much better this way.

Leaning back in the back seat, he also closed his eyes slightly.

My thoughts suddenly went back to twenty years ago.

It was an autumn afternoon, and the ground was covered with yellow leaves.

In a corner of the campus, a little boy who looked as delicate as a porcelain doll sat on the steps beside the pond, with his schoolbag casually placed at his feet.

He lowered his head and stared at the ground motionlessly.

"What are you looking at?"

A childish voice sounded above his head.

The little boy looked up and saw a little girl about his age standing in front of him.

Wearing a lavender princess dress, her curly hair framed her little face to make her look as pretty as a doll.

The golden sunlight hit her, casting a halo on her.

Like an angel descending from heaven.

But he didn't like angels, he didn't like anything.

He just likes freedom.

The little girl saw his appearance clearly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and she tilted her head and said, "Your forehead and mouth corners are broken. Did you have a fight with anyone?"

"Why are not you talking?"

"Don't you feel any pain?"

"It's time to go home from school now. Didn't your parents come to pick you up?"

"Why are you ignoring me?"

"Why are you sitting by the pond? You're not planning on jumping into the river, are you?"

"Don't you want to live anymore, brother?"

So noisy...

The little boy raised his head expressionlessly. Why did she talk so much?

Her eyes swept over her college name card: Qiao, Ru, and Yi.

One grade younger than him.

No wonder it looks small, like a small dumpling.

Xiao Qiao Ruyi opened her big round eyes and said, "You are so beautiful, little brother."

The little boy ignored him and lowered his head again, looking at the ground.

The voice was childish but cold, "I'm watching ants moving."

He didn't want to jump into the river, nor did he want to die.

"Ants moving?"

Xiao Qiao Ruyi was very curious, so she sat down next to him without any hesitation, and looked down at the ground like him.

Sure enough, the army of little ants on the ground was numerous and long, forming a long black line.

"Then I'll watch it with you, okay?"

She supported her chin and almost leaned her whole body on him.

The little boy moved aside, and she moved closer to him, watching the ants moving very carefully.

The sun sets little by little.

The elderly man came over quickly and said, "Master, it's time to go home."

The little boy said "hmm", picked up his schoolbag from the ground and stood up.

Xiao Qiao Ruyi tugged at his schoolbag, tilted his head back, and blinked his big round eyes. "Brother, can we watch Ants Moving together tomorrow?"

The little boy didn't say anything and just walked away with his schoolbag.

She is so stupid. It’s not like ants move house every day.

Later he laughed at himself for being so stupid.

Because not every day there is someone to watch ants moving.

Qiao Ruyi is still the same Qiao Ruyi.

Still so noisy and talkative.

But the purity and innocence in her eyes were no longer there.

Qiao Ruyi is now covered in thorns and scars.

Perhaps, she had long forgotten that afternoon when they watched ants moving together.
