At the phoenix district's entrance, Shu Shu was walking. Opposite her was a royal blue Mercedes-Benz sports car that was honking its horn. She turned her head to look. It was Ling Qiao's car again. This person was simply a haunting spirit.
Shu Shu ignored him and hastened her footsteps.
The Mercedes-Benz soon arrived at her side. Ling Qiao rolled down the window, stuck his head out and said, "If you don't mind, you can take me home."
Shu Shu stood firmly as she turned her head to glare at him, "You dare!"
Ling Qiao purposefully revealed his red and swollen face for her to see as he threatened: "See if I dare!" He looked around cautiously and said, "If you don't want to get on the front page tomorrow, you'd better get in the car right now."
After saying that, Ling Qiao opened the passenger door.
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him as she helplessly got into the car.
"Where's Liu Shu?" Ling Qiao did not waste any words with her and directly said, "T University's News Department only has one class. Since you are all fresh graduates, there's no reason why you should not know each other."
Shu Shu looked ahead, not saying a word.
"I guess you two are classmates who have good relationships with each other, so she will tell you anything. "Then help me tell her, if someone outside finds out that she left home, then she'll be annoyed. I'm not afraid of trouble, anyway I go to the newspapers every day, I'm thinking for her sake."
Shu Shu coldly said, "You must be doing this for the reputation of the Lingbai Corporation …"
Ling Qiao had been exposed by her words, but he did not deny it.
Shushu asked, "Ignoring this child marriage, you have a girlfriend, right?"
Ling Qiao was stunned. So it turned out that she knew this much. Even the child's relatives were aware of this. He replied straightforwardly, "I don't have a girlfriend."
Shu Shu despised him even more, asking, "That woman called Osha, she's not your girlfriend?"
Ling Qiao was speechless. He was drunk to bring Osha home, and that was only an accident. He explained: "She was just my … "Female friends."
"Heh, female friend, this is the first time I've seen a man rolling around with a so-called female friend."
As Ling Qiao was driving, he angrily slapped the steering wheel and cursed, "Damned Liu Shu, you long-tongued woman!"
Shu Shu sneered, "Hehe, don't you feel ashamed? Ling Qiao, I originally thought that you were arrogant just because you had money, but who would have thought that you were a scum from start to finish! Since you have a girlfriend, why don't you admit it? Why did he still agree to this marriage? Since you agreed to marry, why did you still have to keep in touch with Osha? He even brought her to the new house? Do you know how much it hurts me? "
Ling Qiao could vaguely hear what he said, and the more he heard, the more he felt that something was wrong. He stepped on the emergency brake to stop the sports car at the side of the road, and turned his head to stare at Shu Shu, "You …" What are you talking about? " He seemed to have sensed something, a very strange thought, a very wonderful feeling.
Shu Shu did not know what had happened. The scene of Ling Qiao hugging Osha was lingering in her mind. She told herself that she did not care about Ling Qiao. She only felt that it was unfair. As a husband, no matter how low he was, he couldn't be that low.
Shu Shu nonchalantly shook her head. "Forget about it. For a person like you, telling you all this is just a waste of time." She reached out and opened the door, trying to get out.
Ling Qiao quickly pressed the button to lock all the doors.
Shu Shu pulled the door to the car. Two, useless, still closed.
Ling Qiao looked at her unblinkingly. His petite body was the same as Liu Shu's. An angry expression on his face should not be just because he felt sorry for his friend.
Ling Qiao suddenly leaned forward, surrounding Shu Shu in the corner. Shu Shu instinctively crossed her hands in front of her chest, warning, "Don't come near me, I will call you indecent."
Ling Qiao leaned close to her and took a sniff. Both of them had a fragrant scent. She … Ling Qiao seemed to have confirmed his guess, and he did not reject it. He leaned even closer to Shu Shu and gave an evil smile, "molesting? You better scream and call the police, I'm still wondering if I should sue you for the murder of my husband! "
Since Shu Shu had said that, she had expected Ling Qiao to guess it as well. Looking at Ling Qiao's face at such a close distance, she saw the scar on his forehead that was covered by his hair, as well as the obvious five finger marks on his left cheek. It could not be said that she blamed herself, but Shu Shu still felt a bit guilty. She turned his face away, not wanting to continue arguing with Ling Qiao.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Ling Qiao leaned even closer towards her and even pulled off the mask on her face.
"You …" Shu Shu wanted to snatch it, but Ling Qiao's face that was too close to her made her unable to move. It was as if a slight movement would cause her heart to beat faster.
Perhaps it was due to the allergy, but ShuShu's little face seemed to be blushing. The more Ling Qiao thought about it, the more he found it interesting. It was exactly like he had said: unless it's an enemy, we will not meet up! He smiled and said, "Stinky thing, you still said I was playing with you. It was clearly you who was playing with me …" He raised an eyebrow and approached his, "Hmm …"
Shu Shu was constantly retreating, her heart was beating faster because of her anger. She covered her chest with her hands, and she could clearly feel her heart pounding. Jumping. She turned her face anxiously to the window. "What do you want?"
Ling Qiao reached out and grabbed her chin, intentionally pinching it as he smiled mischievously: "You're planning to …" When are you coming home? "
"Why do you want me to go back? Live well with your female friends. She won't want me to cut in between you."
"Jealous?" Ling Qiao's eyes were fixed on her smooth and slender neck as he thought to himself, So Grandmother didn't lie to me. My bride is indeed pretty and delicate, and she's also pretty enough to eat, hehehe.
Shu Shu rolled her eyes. She fiddled around for a bit and pushed away Ling Qiao who was getting closer to her, "I'm not jealous. Other than that ridiculous engagement, there's nothing between us. We are nothing at all!"
Ling Qiao sneered disdainfully. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the tie at the collar of his shirt, he impatiently pulled open the tie.
"But we're already husband and wife …" He also had a helpless look on his face. "If you're found out to have run away from home, the reporters will write very badly. At that time, not only Ling Bai Group, but your dad's company will also be affected …" He paused for a moment and suddenly thought of something. "Oh right, didn't you live in the Liu family's mansion? Why are you living in the Phoenix District?"
Shu Shu's eyes flashed as she quickly explained, "Didn't my father and the rest of the Liu family find out that I left Chun Mu Courtyard?!"
Ling Qiao was still puzzled and asked, "But didn't you also live here before …?" Why do you love to run away from home? "
ShuShu rolled her eyes at him again and said, "Yes, the moment I knew I had to marry you, I ran away from home and rented a house here. After that, my father begged me to help him, so I chose to be filial and filial."
Ling Qiao nodded, with an expression as though he was seeing it as such, "Looks like we both have our own opinions about this marriage, but we can't refuse it … "So you should be able to understand my feelings on the day of our wedding …" Ling Qiao explained, "I was drunk that day and was unable to make sense of the situation, so I brought Osha back. Usually, I never bring her back to Chun Mu Courtyard."
Shu Shu's heart was filled with a burst of regret. "Roar! What are you saying? This way, you're usually out to settle your needs!"
Ling Qiao hurriedly denied it, "That's not what I meant, it's … "Yes …" He was speechless. He was actually explaining things to this girl, but was unable to make sense of the situation.
Shu Shu became even more disgusted with him and stopped him from speaking. "Alright, alright, you don't have to say anymore. You don't have to explain to me. I don't care about these things."
Ling Qiao raised an eyebrow and tactfully replied, "Good, very good. You don't care …"
They were both quiet, but the atmosphere in the car was tense and strange.
ShuShu looked outside at the darkening sky and said, "I have to go back. I will pretend that nothing happened today. As for the rest, I hope that I can maintain the status quo. I won't interfere with you, so please don't interfere with me either."
Ling Qiao's face was expressionless. Without saying a word, he turned the steering wheel, stepped on the throttle and drove back.
Shu Shu dragged her tired body back home. As soon as she entered the door, Shu Ning, who was waiting for her to return home, came over and greeted her. "Shu Shu, why didn't you ask your colleague to come up and take a seat? I was the one who sent you back yesterday. "
Shu Shu embarrassedly said, "Mom, he has nothing to do with me, so why did you call him up …"
Shu Ning looked at her flushed face and silently rejoiced in her heart. "Is he chasing you?"
"Mom, don't make wild guesses. It's nothing."
"Work is work. If you meet a good boy, you have to grasp the opportunity. Having not been in a relationship for so long, that's a bit unreasonable."
Shu put down her bag and said impatiently, "Who says I'm not in love? I just didn't tell you... "Mom, you said yesterday that you would think about it after clearly seeing the other party's character. How did you become so gossipy today?"
"That's not contradictory. If you're not sure, then bring it back for mom to see. Mom will help you look at it."
Shu Shu rolled her eyes. "Mom, I'm so hungry. I want to eat …"
"Good, good, good. Eat, eat!"
At night, Shu Shu lay in bed for a long time unable to fall asleep. The image of being kissed by Ling Qiao lingered in her mind.
On the other side, Ling Qiao was still working overtime at Ling Bai Group. During the day, he had piled up a thick stack of documents for him to sign on, so he could only stay up late and read.
After he finished reading, Ling Qiao let out a long breath. Looking at the time, it was already 11 PM. He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, pressing down hard.
Suddenly, Shu Shu's cold and disdainful look jumped into her mind. She said, "I will pretend that nothing happened today. As for the rest, I hope that I can maintain the status quo. I won't interfere with you, so please don't interfere with me either."
Ling Qiao tightly furrowed his brows. Recalling back then, he should not have remained silent. At that time, he should have replied, "Don't even think about it!"
Ling Qiao casually flipped through the phone. He had already called three or four times from his grandma who was urging them to go home for dinner. Every time, he would use the excuse that he was busy with his work to delay it, not knowing how many more times his grandma would tolerate.
He knew that his grandmother really liked this little girl.
At this moment, his gaze shifted from the screen to the ring finger on his left hand. He raised his hand and shone the light on it. The golden ring no longer looked that ugly.
Ling Qiao tried to pull it out again. Alas, he still could not pull it out. He silently thought to himself, I don't know how that stinky thing got me to wear it back then.
