My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 576 - : Qiao Yin, do you like me?
Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Qiao Yin, do you like me?
Lu Lingche found himself choked by her words. He wanted to lash out, but looking at her face, he suppressed his anger.
When truly in love, one tends to give way endlessly, it’s impossible to maintain an advantage in arguments. Although, Lu Lingche thought, he could never win arguments in the past either.
His voice was soft, “I just wanted to tell you, I haven’t been with anyone else. There’s only you, so don’t think about looking for another man.”
With a cold laugh, Qiao Yin replied, “President Lu, you’re prying too much. You’re married to someone else and still interfering with whether or not your ex-wife finds a man? Of course I will find a man. Not only will I find one, I will get married!”
Lu Lingche’s voice grew cold as well. He couldn’t tolerate Qiao Yin finding another man, “If you dare to, I will shut down your hospital! I mean what I say!”
“Lu Lingche, you’re shameless!”
“Lower your voice, if you yell like that, it will draw attention. Holding you like this, you wouldn’t be able to explain yourself easily.”
Livid, Qiao Yin tried to push him off but his strength overpowered hers and she could not budge him.
“Let me go! If you don’t, I will scream for help!”
“That’s fine, you can scream all you want. I don’t care about my reputation. At most, I’ll be shamed for being unfaithful. But it’s different for you, you will be labeled as a homewrecker, and people will find out where you work, your hospital will be implicated.”
Qiao Yin stared at him, her eyes slowly reddening, “Since you know everything, why are you still treating me like this? Are you trying to ruin me on purpose?”
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Lu Lingche’s heart ached. He hugged her tighter, softening his tone, “No, I don’t want to harm you. I was just trying to scare you, don’t cry.”
“I’m not crying!”
“Didn’t I wear a hat? And today, I even didn’t bring my assistant. There’s no way anyone could recognize me.”
As Lu Lingche was speaking, he lowered his head, attempting to kiss her.
However, Qiao Yin quickly dodged him.
Left kissing the air, Lu Lingche could only hold her head steady and plant a kiss on her forehead, “I was wrong, okay?”
His lips were warm, landing on the forehead of Qiao Yin, making her feel like she had been burned.
She involuntarily reached up to wipe her forehead to erase the burning sensation, and then pushed him again, “I have told you, I don’t want to see you. Please leave.”
“I won’t leave tonight.”
“Well then, I don’t care what you’re planning. Today, I’ll make it clear, the thing between you and Lan Yuyi, is always a hurdle in my heart that I can never cross. No matter whether or not you slept with her, the fact that you wanted a divorce for her, that fact, I cannot forgive!”
Qiao Yin was suddenly reminded of the rainy night when he proposed divorce.
It was strange. The event had transpired so long ago, but mentioning it felt like a heart-wrenching pain.
That cold rainy night marked the beginning of her love illusion shattering, and the start of her detachment from love.
Bearing the agony in her heart, she tried to speak in a calm voice, “Moreover, when facing a life-or-death situation, you chose to save her over me. I know I can’t compare to her. Therefore, I won’t ever trust you again, no matter what you say.”
Holding her in his arms, Lu Lingche didn’t say a word for a long time.
For some reason, at this moment, he could feel her suppressed pain.
She was in pain because of a divorce he initiated, and also because he chose to save Lan Yuyi instead of her.
He held her tightly, whispering, “Qiao Yin, you like me, don’t you?”
In the dimly lit corner, within his warm embrace, Qiao Yin truthfully answered his question for the first time, “Yes.”
Lu Lingche was a bit surprised, “I thought you would still deny it.”
Qiao Yin’s voice was faint, “I used to deny it, because I hadn’t truly let go of you. Now I dare to admit it because I don’t like you anymore.”
