Shu pointed to the strawberries on the ground. "I want strawberries."
"Alright, I'll go wash up and deliver it immediately."
She smiled as she looked at Ling Qiao's busy back. After washing the strawberries, she began to organize the things they had bought. The snacks were placed under the tea table, and the vegetables were placed in the kitchen. There was only one.
Towards Ling Qiao's culinary skills, Shu Shu really lamented that he was inferior. She believed that after she left, she would miss his cooking. Mmm, he would miss it very much.
"Hubby, the beef you made is really delicious. The potatoes are also delicious. The stew is very delicious."
"Your throat is still inflamed, eat less beef."
"How can that be? Eating more meat can nourish you, and only then can you get better faster."
Ling Qiao smiled, no longer refuting her. If she liked to eat, then so be it. If she liked to do something, then let her do it. Perhaps … Perhaps he wouldn't be able to do anything for her in the future.
After dinner, the sky gradually darkened, and Shu Shu was very full. In her words, even her stomach was about to explode.
Ling Qiao was like a housewife as he washed the dishes, saying, "If you can't eat, eat, what's the result of your gluttony?"
"If it's delicious, then eat more. I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat more in the future."
When he said this, the two of them paused for a moment. That's right, perhaps there would never be a next time.
Shu Shu giggled and said, "Why aren't you washing? Should I wash it?"
"No, sit down." Ling Qiao continued washing the dishes.
After that, the two of them did nothing but sit shoulder to shoulder on the sofa and watch TV, watching the temptations of going home. They repeated the same old drama who knew how many times, but the channel was locked there and no one said anything about switching channels.
No one mentioned anything about Tang Thirty-Six or the divorce.
As the song ended, Shu realized it was already 10 AM. "Nothing else?" "So fast, I haven't even had a taste of it. Hubby, the one behind me is that ex-wife of mine who turned around to take revenge. Actually, it's meaningless. She's just a lousy person, why would she do that?"
Ling Qiao smiled and stood up. Then, with both hands, he pulled her up, "Have you seen this before?"
"No, but this movie was pretty popular. I heard about it."
Ling Qiao reached out and rubbed her stomach, "You seem to be holding on. I originally wanted to make you a midnight snack."
ShuShu opened his hand. "How can I digest this if I sit still? I've eaten all of tomorrow's breakfast."
"Take a walk?"
Shaking his head, he replied, "No, it's very late. I want to sleep." She couldn't help yawning.
Ling Qiao pulled her, "Alright, then let's go to sleep."
The moment he entered the room, before he could even get on the bed, the two of them embraced and kissed. Ling Qiao pressed Shu Shu against the wall, his hands continuously taking off his clothes, then taking off Shu Shu's clothes. His lips never left hers as a wave of bitter and salty taste entered her mouth.
Shu Shu cried. Ling Qiao released her and wanted to comfort her, but Shu Shu kissed him again, "Don't …" "Stop …"
Ling Qiao carried her by the waist and ran straight to the bed. She was crying as she passionately kissed him. He kissed the corners of her eyes and kissed her tears. He had to remember this bitter taste.
After a brief pause in their kiss, Shu Shu tightly embraced his burning body. He couldn't move, but he held her tightly as well. He whispered, "Darling, I'm sorry. For the time being, I might not be able to protect you."
"I know, it doesn't matter. But don't touch me tonight …"
Ling Qiao felt a twinge of pain in his heart, but he understood, in such a short period of time, Shu was unable to let it go, "I trusted them too much, this matter caught me off guard, I have no choice, but I will definitely investigate this matter clearly, wait for me, okay?"
After a long silence, Ling Qiao anxiously repeated, "Just wait for me, okay?"
Shu Shu blinked, her tears involuntarily flowing down. "Don't give me any promises at this time, I don't need any promises. You promised my mom you would hold my hand for the rest of your life, but did you do it?" Can you do it? A man's promise is a guarantee, but it has to be at a discount. Have you forgotten what Liu Ziye did to my mom? "
Ling Qiao did not move. He knew that Shu Shu was a fragile and sensitive person. She had never held any hope towards marriage and love. It was he himself who had given her hope and crushed this hope with his own hands.
I'm not pregnant yet, I'm just a simple person, I can walk as far as I want, I won't repeat what my mother did, I don't want to live as lowly as my mother. Ling Qiao, I understand what you are doing, and I agree with your decision, but please don't force me to make my choice, I want to walk my own path in the future.
Ling Qiao was so upset that he could not speak. Looking at Shu Shu's tears, he really wanted to cry out loud. Since there were no outsiders here, Shu Shu knew his pain.
Shu Shu tears, but very calmly said: "Whenever you want to sign, just tell me, I will not ask for anything. In the future, whether it's you and Tang and I settle our differences and fight each other, I don't want to be involved. I just want to live a good life and use my own efforts to get what I want. "Ling Qiao, I have been happy and resentful when I was with you, but no matter what, I have learned a lot. In the future, you must live a good life, no matter who it is, you must live a good life."
Ling Qiao furrowed his brows as he asked, "Wife, do you mean that after the divorce, you will never come back?" "Wifey, let's split up temporarily. I can't afford to bet on the Ling Family's business, but I won't let anyone slaughter me like a little mouse. This is something I didn't think of before, I will definitely investigate and make sure they have a good time, when the time comes, we can start afresh. My heart won't change for me."
Soothing a smile, she softly asked, "Then you used to love Tang and Qingqing so much, hasn't it changed now?"
Ling Qiao was at a loss for words. He was unable to answer.
"So, Ling Qiao, no one can guarantee you the future. Once I make an agreement with you, I will always want to participate in you guys. I don't want to, and I don't want to either. Let's just let nature take its course, okay?"
If she decided on something, no one would be able to change it, but he really couldn't say it out loud. He couldn't imagine a day where he wouldn't have anything to do with her, even if he was a friend who could call and hear her voice whenever he wanted to.
"If you say so, then I'll take it as a promise. Actually, you can also try loving Tang Sqing again. She did all these things because she loved you."
"Don't mention her …" "I've never hated her as much as I do now."
"But if it wasn't for her, perhaps Ling Bai Group wouldn't be here right now, right? Think about the sacrifices she made for you, think about the torture she went through. Perhaps, you won't hate her that much. Actually, I have to thank her as well. If it wasn't for her extreme way of doing things, you wouldn't have been able to see her clearly, right? "
"Wife, don't say anymore. No matter what decision you make, I will agree. But, please remember one thing, no matter how long we separate, after I finish dealing with these things, I will still chase you back. I even made delicious food for you to eat, and I even raised you to be overbearing and spoil you."
She could not stop crying. She could only hug him tightly, afraid that after tonight, her husband would no longer be her husband.
On the second day, the news of Ling Qiao and Tang Zeqing getting a room in a hotel hadn't faded at all, and instead had a tendency to become more and more intense as time went by. What kind of hotel employee had revealed that he had personally witnessed Ling Qiao entering his room with Tang Zeqing, and what kind of passerby had also revealed that he had personally witnessed Ling Qiao and Tang Chuqing kissing me in the elevator?
The headlines of the newspapers and the internet were filled with rolling stories. They were like pieces of a wedding order, urging Ling Qiao to stand up and give the public an explanation.
The private roads of the Ling and Tang Families were already filled with cars. Yesterday, it had already been agreed that a press conference would be held here today. Early in the morning, this place had already become impenetrable.
At this moment, Ling Qiao was still at Chun Mu Yuan Courtyard. At night, he hugged Shu Shu and cried himself to sleep, yet he still coveted the warmth of this moment.
According to the plan they had discussed yesterday, a press conference would be held at the Ling Family Courtyard today. The parents of both parties would announce a complicated love story.
In any case, the gossip in the entertainment circle was so complicated and confusing. In any case, there were plenty of celebrity couples who would break up the day after tomorrow. Thus, it was not strange for Ling Qiao to suddenly get married and then reunite with his former girlfriend.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Shu Shu's eyelashes fluttered. She was woken up. Ling Qiao picked up the phone unhappily, "I will come. Why are you urging me on?"
The phone call was from Hu Xin. When she heard her son's tone of voice filled with gunpowder on the phone, she stopped her words of advice and just said: "The reporters are all waiting outside. If you can't come, then we'll do the same."
Back then, Ling Qiao and Shu Shu's engagement was insisted upon by their elders. Ling Qiao and Shu Shu could also be considered as parents' engagements. Now that the marriage was to be annulled, their parents' appearance was the best way.
Ling Qiao was annoyed as he listened. "Do whatever you want. Don't bother me." After saying that, Ling Qiao hung up the phone and directly turned it off.
Yesterday, when the two families were discussing, the Tang family's elder wasn't really angry. It was just that Tang Xiuqing had been sitting by the side crying in grievance. Her sorrowful and sorrowful appearance had successfully caused all of the Ling family's elders' sympathy to come to light.
Ling Qiao knew he had been fooled by Tang and Qing. She must have had even more unsightly photographs in her hands, as if what she had gone to the hospital to show Shu was part of it. He knew that she was threatening him. If he did not agree to a divorce, she would release the photo to the world and his image and Ling Bai's reputation would be severely violated.
New Zealand's branch office is under construction at a critical juncture, and the Ling Bai Group cannot afford a single incident at this time.
At that time, Ling Qiao hadn't said a word. If the Tang Clan's parents had asked for it, he would have agreed because he knew that as long as he didn't agree, Tang Congqing would have a backup plan. Once this backup plan was used, it would be too late.
It was just that he did not expect the Tang Clan to be so fast. They called for a reporter the next day and did not even give him a chance to catch his breath.
Shu Shu turned over to find a more comfortable sleeping position. She was hugged by him all night and was a little hot. She said, "If you have something to do, you should leave first. I'm fine. I want to sleep a little longer."
