Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

The street outside the restaurant was bustling with flower vendors.

Young people passing by were in pairs, each holding a large bouquet of brightly colored flowers.

Qiao Ruyi was walking alone on the road. Her beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament attracted the attention of many passers-by, and her rate of turning heads was very high.

In these extremely ambiguous days, she seemed even more lonely because she was alone.

A white car stopped at her feet, the window rolled down, revealing a familiar and handsome face.

"Alone?" Cheng Yimu asked.

Not expecting to run into him here, Qiao Ruyi forced a polite smile and said, "Alone."

Now that things have come to this, there is no need for her to find any lame excuses for her relationship with Ling Che.

"boarding."

Sitting in the car, Cheng Yimu didn't ask any other questions. After driving for a distance, he parked the car on the side of the road and then unbuckled his seat belt.

"wait for me a while."

He got out of the car and walked towards the crowd on the street.

Maybe the air conditioner in the car was turned on too high, Qiao Ruyi felt a little cold while sitting in the car.

What lingers in my mind is the voice of Miss Bai.

Ling Che should be with her at this time, right?

His beloved had been in a coma for three years and miraculously woke up. He should have stayed by her side all the time.

The car door opened and Cheng Yimu got in.

Only then did Qiao Ruyi notice that he had a bouquet of flowers and an exquisite little box in his hands.

He handed the flowers to Qiao Ruyi and said with a smile, "On such a grand day, how can I let you go home empty-handed?"

Qiao Ruyi was a little stunned. Did he just buy flowers for herself?

"I am a herder..."

"What others have, you should have too."

His tone was so gentle that it was impossible to refuse.

Qiao Ruyi took the bouquet and said with a faint smile, "Thank you."

Cheng Yimu smiled softly, then opened the small box in his hand, "Although your birthday has passed, it doesn't matter. You can still eat the cake."

Only then did Qiao Ruyi see that there was a small chocolate cake in the box.

The cake is not big, only the size of a palm, but it is very exquisite.

There was a candle on it, burning faintly.

Qiao Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the man with gentle eyes in disbelief.

It turned out that he had just gotten off the car to buy himself flowers and a cake.

"Make a wish." Cheng Yimu said.

Qiao Ruyi didn't expect that the sense of ceremony on her birthday was not made up by her husband, but by another man instead.

For a moment, my emotions were extremely complicated.

"I don't have any wishes."

After she finished speaking, she blew out the candle in one breath and looked up at Cheng Yimu, "But thank you very much, Yimu."

"It's too formal to always say thank you." Cheng Yimu said in a very gentle tone, "When we were classmates before, I never saw you being so polite to me."

At that time, she was carefree and often snatched his breakfast to eat. When she was in a good mood, she would say thank you, and when she was in a bad mood, she would just snatch it and eat it, as if it was her right as if she bought it herself.

Qiao Ruyi curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, scooped a piece of cake and put it into her mouth. The delicate sweetness was mixed with the slight bitterness of chocolate.

He actually still remembered that her favorite cake was chocolate when she was in high school.

......

"Hello, the number you dialed is turned off."

A mechanical female voice came from the phone over and over again.

After several calls were made but the phone was turned off, Ling Che put away his phone and walked downstairs.

A silver-gray sports car stopped downstairs of a high-end star-rated restaurant. The people in the car quickly got out and went straight to the elevator to the reserved private room.

The box was empty.

The restaurant manager came over and informed, "Boss Ling, Miss Qiao has left."

"When did you leave?"

"He left just after midnight."

Ling Che frowned, looking at the untouched tableware on the table, "Didn't she eat?"

The restaurant manager shook his head.

With his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, Ling Che left the restaurant and drove towards Yujingwan.

......

Maybe because I didn’t eat dinner on time, my weak stomach protested again.

Qiao Ruyi frowned slightly, her eyelashes trembled, and she subconsciously covered her stomach.

Seeing that she looked a little unwell, Cheng Yimu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is your gastroenteritis coming back again? Let's go to the hospital directly."

Cheng Yimu said this and was about to start the car.

Qiao Ruyi shook her head slightly, "I just feel a little uncomfortable, please take me home."

Twenty minutes later, the vehicle stopped at the foot of a high-end apartment building.

The elevator went up and stopped at the 22nd floor.

After entering the house and turning on the lights, I found that the apartment, which was not small, was decorated cleanly and simply. It was bright and comfortable, but it didn't seem to be occupied much.

Cheng Yimu looked around the huge apartment and found no men's belongings.

Qiao Ruyi sat on the sofa, and the discomfort in her stomach eased a little.

As if she could see his doubts, she said, "This house was left to me by my mother. No one knows about it."

Cheng Yimu turned around, "Ling Che, don't you know either?"

"He doesn't deserve to know." Qiao Ruyi didn't want to mention him.

Cheng Yimu stopped the topic and asked, "Is the kitchen usable?"

Qiao Ruyi nodded and watched Cheng Yimu take off his coat and go to the kitchen wearing a white shirt.

Cheng Yimu was very good in this regard. He knew what she didn't like and wouldn't ask any further questions.

He can always stop the topic at the right time and save the other party's dignity.

I turned on my long-turned-off phone, and a series of missed calls popped up, all from the same person.

——Ling Che.

......

In the villa of Yujingwan, except for the lights near the swimming pool on the first floor, the entire villa was shrouded in darkness.

Ling Che strode into the house and turned on the light. The first floor was empty.

I quickly went up to the second floor, but it was still empty.

It was already two o'clock in the morning.

Where would Qiao Ruyi go if she didn’t return to Yujingwan?

Standing in the empty room, he picked up his phone again and made a call.

This time the phone was not turned off and rang for a long time.

"Is there something wrong?" Qiao Ruyi's cold voice came from the other end.

Hearing that she was fine, Ling Che breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked, "Where are you?"

Qiao Ruyi didn't answer, so Ling Che asked again, "Qiao Ruyi, where are you? I'll pick you up."

Qiao Ruyi held the phone, feeling extremely sad.

He broke up with her to go spend time with his sweetheart, and now he's acting caring again?

Just as he was about to refuse, Cheng Yimu brought over a glass of warm water. "Ruyi, drink this water first. There's not much food in the refrigerator. I made some porridge for you. It will be ready soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Ruyi heard the sound of something being kicked over from the other end of the phone. The clanging sound hit her eardrums and scared her.

Then came Ling Che's extremely gloomy voice, "Are you with the guy surnamed Cheng?"
