Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

He agreed quite readily.

Ling Che sneered. Fortunately, he had acted quickly back then. Otherwise, according to Qiao Ruyi's idea, she would have agreed to a marriage of convenience.

Having said that, Qiao Ruyi lowered her eyes, chuckled and sighed.

"Actually, at that time, I didn't care about the marriage arrangement. It didn't matter who I married."

She curled her lips and said, "As the daughter of the Qiao Group, I knew very well that my marriage would only be based on the interests of the group as a bargaining chip. And my mother passed away. Unlike Qiao Ruyuan, I couldn't bargain with Qiao He. At that time, I couldn't wait to escape from the Qiao family."

The force on her waist tightened, and Ling Che saw the gloom in her eyes.

Qiao Ruyi looked at Ling Che and smiled teasingly, "Besides, at that time, I thought all men were equally evil, so it didn't matter who I married. If the other person's character was okay, I'd consider it good luck. If not, I'd deal with it. If we really couldn't live together anymore, I'd divorce."

Hearing the last sentence, Ling Che frowned again.

He now hates the word "divorce".

"But..." Qiao Ruyi held his face and rubbed it lovingly, "I'm really lucky. I picked up a big treasure."

Ling Che was very pleased with what he said. The corners of his eyes raised, and a smile appeared in his narrow eyes.

"So when did you meet him?"

"Before leaving the country."

Qiao Ruyi said, "After graduating from high school, I planned to study abroad in Country F. Uncle Ling asked me to meet him formally, saying he wanted to meet his future daughter-in-law."

"Really?" Ling Che smiled.

Qiao Ruyi nodded repeatedly. "That was the first time I met him. I thought he was very handsome, gentlemanly, and elegant. He also spoke well and praised me non-stop. Especially when he mentioned your name, his face was filled with pride."

Ling Che raised his lips calmly. He had never seen what Qiao Ruyi said in Ling Zhengqing before.

The Ling Zhengqing he saw never smiled at him, spoke unpleasantly, or praised him.

I never said anything like I was proud of him.

He even wondered if Qiao Ruyi was coaxing him.

"It's true." Qiao Ruyi seemed to have guessed his thoughts, her eyes sincere, "The Uncle Ling I met is really such a shining and outstanding person, and even more so a good father."

"What happened next?" Ling Che asked again.

"Later..." Qiao Ruyi's eyes dimmed, "I received a call from him while I was abroad. That was his last call."

At this point, Ling Che's back stiffened and his eyes turned cold.

"I didn't expect that the call was from Uncle Ling, who was telling me his last words." Qiao Ruyi's voice became a little unsteady when she said this. "He said he had two requests of me."

Ling Che knew about these two requests, as they were brought up during countless arguments during the first two years of their marriage.

"One is to marry me, and the other is to have children?"

"Yeah." Qiao Ruyi nodded.

Ling Zhengqing said that she was smart, sensible and knew the big picture, and hoped that she would marry Ling Che after returning to China, be a good young lady of the Ling family, help Ling Che manage the group, and stabilize the turmoil in the Ling family.

"But he also said something." Qiao Ruyi said.

"what?"

Qiao Ruyi looked at Ling Che and said seriously, "He said that in this life, he has lived up to the Ling ancestors and the Ling Group. The only people he feels sorry for are you and Mom."

Qiao Ruyi looked at Ling Che, her eyes flickering for a moment, her voice choking with sobs. "He said that after he's gone, you'll be all alone and helpless. He owes you too much in this life and hasn't given you a single bit of warmth. So, he hopes that after I marry you, we can have a child, a happy family of three, and make up for the love you once lacked."

However, she could not bear a child for Ling Che and could not fulfill Uncle Ling's last wish.

She was the one who let Uncle Ling down, let Ling Che down...

These words seemed to break down the stubborn defense in Ling Che's heart.

He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were red, and mist formed in his eyes.

The arms around her waist slowly tightened, and Qiao Ruyi pressed his face against hers.

Suddenly I felt the suppressed trembling of his shoulders and the low whimpering... just like a wounded wolf cub.

She gently stroked Ling Che's back until the clothes around her waist were soaked with tears.

Cry, just cry.

I've been holding on for so long and I'm quite tired.

No wonder Ling Che never went to the cemetery to burn incense for Ling Zhengqing, never celebrated his memorial day, and never visited him once over the years.

Because there was a knot in his heart, twisted into a ball, and his longing for his father was also twisted into it.

Until this unity was opened, it was covered in blood and full of guilt.

......

The moonlight at night poured in through the window and fell on the bulging figure under the thin quilt on the bed.

Qiao Ruyi leaned on Ling Che's shoulder, listening to his strong heartbeat.

After venting his emotions, his heartbeat became much calmer.

Qiao Ruyi played with his slender fingers, quietly and gently.

Ling Che lowered his eyes to look at her. Her fair and tender face was beautiful and charming. When he lowered his eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered like two soft little brushes, as if passing through the tip of Ling Che's heart, making him feel itchy.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to feel it. As soon as his fingertips landed in front of her beautiful eyes, those eyes looked up and looked at him brightly.

"Don't move." She grabbed his fingers, not yet satisfied with the fun.

Ling Che smiled softly, and his fingertips finally landed on her soft lips and tapped them lightly.

"Qiao Ruyi."

"Ok?"

Ling Che opened his mouth and told her what happened today, "I have been on guard against Ling Xiu De for a long time. It was me who pushed him to this point today. Otherwise, I would not have heard the truth I wanted to hear. So what happened today was within my expectations."

Ling Che looked at the gauze wrapped around her slender white wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "But I didn't expect you to appear there."

Qiao Ruyi paused and looked up at him, "Do you know he will go and catch Mom to threaten you?"

"Yes." Ling Che said, "If he wants to save his son, he must exchange an equal price with me. To me, the only person of this value is my mother."

Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes and looked at him.

Ling Che met her gaze and smiled softly, "Needless to say, he can't get his hands on you."

He had his plans, and Qiao Ruyi didn't need to ask any more questions.

Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, she grabbed his hand and said, "Ling Che, although that was your plan, what I said was true."

She raised her eyes, her eyes extremely serious, "If there is a next time, you must save mom."

Ling Che looked at her for a long moment, then curled his lips slightly, "Qiao Ruyi, do you think I'll let you die?"

He pulled her closer to him and held her tighter. "I told you, you won't die as long as I'm here."
