Chapter 379: Why aren’t you accompanying Lan Yuyi anymore?
“Then what do you want so you can sleep?”
“I can sleep well once you leave.”
“If I leave, all the ghosts outside will come in, and your life will be over.”
“When you were not around, I could sleep alone and live very well. If I were to rely on you for protection, I would have died a hundred times by now.”
After Qiao Yin finished speaking, both of them were reminded of the time when she was kidnapped.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Lu Lingche held her a little tighter, as if he wanted to press her into his heart.
She didn’t know that he dreamed every day of that gloomy and dark graveyard, dreaming that she was kidnapped and brutally killed there.
He woke up every day in severe heartache.
So when Qiao Yin provoked his heartache, he did not have a significant reaction.
He got used to it.
He bent down to kiss her, but she dodged.
A sense of nameless loss surged in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before.
He didn’t like this feeling and forcibly suppressed it.
Then, he grabbed Qiao Yin’s chin and forcefully kissed her once.
Tears fell from Qiao Yin’s eyes.
She was not crying because he kissed her, but because she found that she still couldn’t resist his kiss.
Forgetting him was already a difficult task, but he always came to provoke her again.
When he held her like this, kissed her, it made her feel like he liked her.
This thought made her heart beat wildly.
Lu Lingche felt her cold tears and again kissed her cheeks and eyes: “Qiao Yin.”
“Hmm.”
“I’m sorry.”
“What did you say? I didn’t hear it.”
“You heard it.”
Lu Lingche hugged her tightly: “Don’t cry, if your eyes get swollen and your grandmother sees it tomorrow, what will you do?”
“I’m not crying. It’s just that my eyes are watering.”
Qiao Yin rubbed her tears onto him and asked a question she had held back for a long time: “Why aren’t you accompanying Lan Yuyi?”
“Why should I accompany her?”
“When it’s raining and thundering, you will be with her, I know.”
Lu Lingche couldn’t help but frown: “How do you know?”
“The night you proposed divorce, Lan Yuyi called you. At that time, you were taking a bath, and I answered it for you. She said that you used to accompany her during thunderstorms.”
Lu Lingche had no idea about this.
No wonder she was so calm when he mentioned divorce. It turns out that she had already picked Lan Yuyi’s phone call and had a premonition.
“I won’t go in the future.”
“Why?”
“No reason.”
“Are you fickle?”
“I don’t have a heart, what can change?”
Qiao Yin could not help but nod. He indeed doesn’t have a heart for her.
But at least, he cares about Lan Yuyi, right?
She thought in a daze, fatigue coming over her. Without thinking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Lu Lingche was nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Yin did not know if he left through the door or the window. Anyway, she checked the anti-theft net of the window, and it had been repaired.
Today was a bright and sunny day. After Qiao Yin washed up, she first called Qiao Jiasen to ensure that he was still at home and not visiting the black market agency, then relaxed.
After breakfast, she applied light makeup and changed into a light blue suit dress.
After telling her grandmother, Qiao Yin drove to the Eastern Empire Corporation.
Today was the day she and Dongfang Mu agreed to meet for negotiations. They would decide the final plan in the morning meeting and go to the acquisition site in the afternoon to forcibly snatch the project from Shengling Group. However, when she arrived at Dongfang Mu’s office, she didn’t see him. Instead, she saw a woman.
The woman seemed surprised to see her, but she quickly smiled and extended her hand to her: “My surname is Cui, CuiShuqian. I’m a friend of Dongfang Mu. Who might you be?”
