Chapter 653: Chapter 653: She looks cute when she’s angry
However, the anticipated pain didn’t come. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.
Lu Lingche caught her, sounding somewhat helpless in his voice, “You can barely walk because of the alcohol and you still want to run? Given your tolerance, you’re no longer allowed to go to the bars with Lu Yanxi.”
Qiao Yin regretted immensely. She shouldn’t have been greedy with her drinks, she should have stopped after one round!
She didn’t expect the alcohol to hit her this hard!
She was brought back to bed by Lu Lingche. Then, she saw Lu Lingche starting to undress.
She widened her eyes in surprise, her voice filled with panic, “Lu Lingche, what are you doing?! I warn you, we are already divorced. I am not your wife. You can’t do anything!”
Lu Lingche glanced at her, took off his suit, unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, and said indifferently, “I’m just preparing to take a bath. Why are you so worked up? Or is it that you want me to do something?”
“I don’t! Don’t twist my words!”
Lu Lingche took off his shirt, grabbed her wrist, and pressed it down, “I was wrong.”
Qiao Yin didn’t know what he was playing at this time, “What?”
“I regret it.”
“Regret what?”
“Regret getting a divorce.”
Qiao Yin laughed bitterly, “Lu Lingche, you really are a thorough scoundrel. You were so resolute about the divorce, now you say you regret it? Are you messing with me? Do you think I will forgive you because I am drunk? I’m not drunk! Your regret is useless!”
Lu Lingche looked down at her, thinking she was adorable even when she was angry.
She was all puffed up in anger, her eyes seemed to have a layer of mist, very beautiful – much more lively than when she ignored him.
In fact, he had never seen her angry before. Before he proposed a divorce, she had always been gentle, obedient to him, and never cursed him nor raised her voice at him.
But he never realised how good she was, and he never saw her sacrifices, taking her for granted.
He didn’t know just how much grievance she had suffered because of him.
Feelings of guilt and heartache spread in his heart.
He sneaked a kiss on her when she wasn’t paying attention, “Actually, I wasn’t that firm about the divorce.”
Qiao Yin raised her eyebrows slightly: “Huh? What do you mean?”
“If I really wanted to divorce, there are many ways– legal ones, illegal ones, overt ones, covert ones. Among other things, I know that if the divorce settlement exceeded fifty million, you would sign. After all, when Qiao Haidong’s company went bankrupt and couldn’t repay a debt of forty million, you wanted to clear the debt for him.”
All the emotions faded from Qiao Yin’s face.
She stared blankly at Lu Lingche, “You deliberately gave me a smaller settlement?”
“Yes. I knew if I didn’t give you enough, you wouldn’t sign.”
“Why? Weren’t you eager to divorce me so you could marry Lan Yuyi?”
“I wasn’t eager. I knew I wronged you by asking for divorce so I wanted to give you compensation. However, subconsciously, I didn’t want you to get enough compensation so you wouldn’t sign so quickly.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
In truth, he began to regret wanting to divorce her later on, and he intentionally delayed the process numerous times.
If the miscarriage incident hadn’t occurred, which he wrongly assumed she induced in order to get money, he might not have gone through with the divorce.
Qiao Yin lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Lu Lingche anymore.
At this moment, he was showing deep affection, exuding a sense of guilt from head to toe. She was afraid she’d soften if she caught sight of his deep, intense eyes.
He had already taken off his shirt, revealing the robust, perfect muscle lines of his upper body.
The heat from his body was penetrating her thin cashmere sweater, making her hard to resist him.
In a daze, his kiss fell on her again.
Qiao Yin quickly turned her head to the side.
So his kiss landed on her cheek instead.
His lips were cold and soft, his unique chilly breath seeping into her skin.
