BXBX NOVEL Chapter 63 - 63: Discord
Dusk.
Lu Lingche returned home from work early, but didn’t see Qiao Yin. Instead, he came across Lan Yuyi.
“Yuyi, why are you here?”
Lan Yuyi replied softly, “I’m here to take care of Miss Qiao.”
“You need someone to take care of you, why would you come to look after her? Go home, it’s getting late.”
Lan Yuyi closed her mouth abruptly.
“Is there anything else?”
“Did you make breakfast for Miss Qiao?”
Lu Lingche nodded, “I did, why?”
“Don’t be upset when I tell you this!”
Lu Lingche remained unmoved, “Why would I be upset.”
“Miss Qiao seems to dislike what you made, she didn’t take a bite before she left. But, it might not necessarily be because she dislikes it, maybe she just didn’t have the appetite. At least, I’ve always thought your cooking is delicious.”
Lu Lingche glanced at the dining table. It was exactly the way he left it in the morning.
Qiao Yin didn’t touch it a bit.
How dare she waste the food he had prepared!
When had he ever wasted the food she cooked?
She’s truly ungrateful!
She deserved to be hungry!
His face grew cold, “She already left?”
Lan Yuyi nodded, “She left early in the morning, I tried to get her to rest some more, but she ignored me. Lingche, did I cause trouble again? I’m sorry, I just heard she got hurt, so I was worried and came to check on her.”
Lu Lingche stared at her, then suddenly asked, “When have you eaten my cooking?”
Lan Yuyi waved her hands frantically, “No, I haven’t, but I heard your eldest brother mentioning it. He praised your culinary skills and complimented you so many times, I remembered that.”
Upon hearing her mention his eldest brother, Lu Lingche’s indifference faded a lot, “I cooked for my brother, did he really praise me?”
“Really! He had high praise for you!”
Lu Lingche fell silent.
His kindly elder brother who treated him so well was now dead.
Lan Yuyi added, “Lingche, it seems you also prepared new clothes for Miss Qiao, but she didn’t wear them. Instead, she picked up her old clothes from the rubbish bin and put them on.”
Lu Lingche frowned, “She left wearing that blood-stained clothing?”
“Yes, I tried to dissuade her, she didn’t listen.”
Lu Lingche nodded wearily, “I see, it doesn’t matter.”
Qiao Yin was already displeased with Lan Yuyi, Lan Yuyi’s persuasion might have only added fuel to the fire, she wouldn’t wear them.
Seeing his fatigue, Lan Yuyi softly asked him, “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat, I can make it for you in the kitchen.”
Lu Lingche suddenly remembered, in the past when he came home from work, Qiao Yin had already prepared the food. All he needed to do was to eat, there was no need for him to wait.
“No need, I’ll do it myself. You’re pregnant now, you shouldn’t be doing such things.”
On Lan Yuyi’s face, expectations showed, “Can I eat with you then? I haven’t eaten your cooking before!”
Lu Lingche didn’t want to stay with her any longer, because each additional second he spent with her reminded him of his terrible mistake that resulted in his elder brother’s woman getting pregnant. He felt more and more that he owed his brother.
“Yuanshan, escort Yuyi home, drive slowly.”
Lan Yuyi quickly responded, “Lingche, can you stop driving me away all the time?”
Lu Lingche replied indifferently, “Next time, don’t run to my mother to pass on messages casually.”
Lan Yuyi was taken aback, “What?”
“Seeing isn’t always believing, I wasn’t being intimate with Qiao Yin, she was just helping me apply medicine. There’s no need for you to report such trifles to my mother.”
“No, Lingche, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t say anything!”
“Then who did? My assistant, Yuanshan?”
The assistant got frightened, “President Lu, how could I dare to do such a thing as stirring up quarrels? It wouldn’t benefit me at all!”
Yes, it wouldn’t benefit the assistant at all.
As for who stands to benefit, it’s quite clear now..
