Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Perhaps because she drank some champagne before the dinner, Qiao Ruyi went home, took a shower and went to bed.

I don’t know how long I slept. I woke up in a daze when I heard a noise in the house.

I turned on the desk lamp and it was only two o'clock in the morning.

She turned her head and looked beside her, it was empty.

Ling Che hasn't come back yet.

She stood up, smoothed her hair, and prepared to go downstairs to get a glass of water.

I turned on the light on the stairs, and just as I reached the first floor and walked through the living room, I was suddenly startled by the figure sitting on the sofa.

"Are you home? Why don't you turn on the lights?"

Qiao Ruyi touched her forehead and cold sweat broke out on her palms.

Ling Che's lazy voice came from the sofa, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Qiao Ruyi walked to the kitchen counter and poured a glass of water. "I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of people."

Sometimes people are scarier than ghosts.

Putting down the water cup, she noticed that Ling Che had changed into a suit at some point, which was different from the clothes he wore during the day.

He leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, shaking a red wine glass between his bony fingers.

Her profile is still perfect, but her face is a little pale, and her thin lips are sexy but lack a bit of red.

"When did you come back?"

"..."

"Why don't you change your clothes and take a shower when you come back?"

"..."

"Sitting here drinking in the middle of the night without turning on the lights, what's your habit?"

"..."

She suddenly remembered the faint smell of blood she smelled on him in the car during the day, and hoped she was mistaken.

She walked to his side, frowning slightly.

"Ling Che, are you feeling unwell?"

"..."

Ling Che remained silent, with a faint smile on his lips.

She clearly cares about him, can't he hear it?

He actually turned a deaf ear to her words.

Qiao Ruyi was angry and was about to slap him on the shoulder, but he quickly grabbed her wrist.

Ling Che narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, "You're so noisy."

Qiao Ruyi broke free from his hand and was so angry that she was about to turn around and leave.

The next second, a tall and warm body pressed tightly against her from behind.

Ling Che hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her fair shoulders.

You were complaining about her being noisy just now, why are you hugging her now?

Qiao Ruyi tried to struggle, but she was held tighter.

"do not move."

He held her slender waist with one hand and her shoulders with the other, resting his chin on her shoulder, his hot breath on her bare shoulders and ears.

"Let me hold you for a while."

His voice was deep and sounded particularly seductive.

Qiao Ruyi was stunned and actually listened to what he said and stopped struggling.

Ling Che just hugged him and did nothing.

He held her tightly like this for a long time.

So long that...Qiao Ruyi thought he was about to fall asleep.

"Hey......"

"Hmm?" he replied lazily.

"Nothing, I thought you were asleep."

Ling Che chuckled softly, "Do you think I can sleep while standing if I'm you?"

Qiao Ruyi argued, "When did I ever sleep standing up?"

"Well...you sleep on top of me most of the time."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Ruyi felt a heat in her ears and her face immediately turned red.

There are really few serious words that can be said from his mouth.

"Qiao Ruyi..."

Ling Che's voice was filled with weariness. "Don't go anywhere. Stay by my side."

After that, he asked again, "Is it good?"

Suddenly, Qiao Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

I don’t know if his tone was too gentle or if the words were too ambiguous.

Qiao Ruyi had never heard these words from Ling Che.

She asked, "Are you confessing to me?"

Ling Che sniffed her long hair, the familiar fragrance soothing him.

He slowly let go of her and raised his hand to ruffle her long hair. "Go to bed."

Not getting his answer, Qiao Ruyi turned around and met his deep eyes.

"Ling Che, do you like me or not?"

Ling Che gently lifted her chin and met her burning eyes. "So what if you like it? So what if you don't like it?"

Qiao Ruyi pursed her lips and thought, if you like me, I will continue to like you.

If you don't like me, then I won't like you.

As if he could guess what she was thinking, Ling Che gently stroked her fair cheek with his fingers, "Whether you like it or not, you have to stay by my side. Do you hear me?"

He also emphasized, "Don't ever say the word divorce again."

"Why?" Qiao Ruyi looked up and asked, "If you don't like me, can't you get a divorce?"

"No."

Ling Che said these two words straightforwardly.

He lowered his head and gently bit Qiao Ruyi's rosy lips, as if he was treating his captured prey.

"In my marriage, Ling Che, there is no such thing as divorce, only widowhood."

After he finished speaking, Qiao Ruyi's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously took a step back and looked at him in disbelief.

Then she pushed him away and went upstairs alone.

......

There were soft footsteps on the stairs.

The study door opened, and Li Ling came in with a glass of water. "Hubby, it's time to rest."

Qiao He looked at the documents in his hand with a sullen face, without even raising his head.

"Are you still angry?" Li Ling stood beside him and placed some water and a few pills next to him. "Being angry all the time is bad for your health. Honey, take your blood pressure medicine."

Qiao He took off his glasses and said, "Don't you know why I'm angry? It's because you can't control your mouth!"

"Yes, yes, I was in a hurry today and didn't pay attention to the occasion." Li Ling quickly gave in.

Qiao He slammed the table in anger, "This table is full of people from the Ling family. You're publicly exposing Ruyi's shortcomings and slapping our Qiao family in the face! Do you think the Ling family will stand by you and help you vent your anger if you tell them?"

"I was inconsiderate, husband." Li Ling looked embarrassed. "I was also mad at Ruyi. Look at how much she bullies others. She actually kicked Ruyuan into the pool in public. If she hadn't been pulled out early, your precious daughter would have met her end long ago!"

Qiao He's face turned pale. "She was indeed wrong in this matter, but you can't criticize her like that in public!"

Li Ling softened her tone and explained, "I said that because I was anxious."

"You! Can't you just keep your mouth shut?"

Li Ling quickly calmed him down, "Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will pay more attention next time."

Seeing that she admitted her mistake, Qiao He calmed down a little and took the medicine with water.

Li Ling walked up behind him and massaged his shoulders. "Hubby, Ruyuan is not young anymore. It's time for her to train herself. Then she can help you with the company's affairs. See if there is any suitable position for Ruyuan in the company. She's idle at home anyway, so it's always good for her to learn more from you."

Qiao He asked, "What can Ruyuan do? You've been pampering her all these years. She can't do anything except spend money. What can she do in the company?"

"Oh, husband!" Li Ling said tenderly, "We only have this one precious daughter. She suffered so much with me before she entered the Qiao family. Isn't it right to compensate her? Besides, you are old and will retire sooner or later. Xile is still young. Wouldn't it be great to teach Ruyuan more now?"

Qiao He pondered for a few seconds. "My Qiao Enterprise will eventually belong to the three siblings. Ruyi is smart and capable, so I'm not worried. Xile is still young, so Ruyuan really needs some training."

When Li Ling heard this, her expression changed immediately. "What? You still want to hand over the company to Ruyi?!"
