Ling Qiao suddenly stood up, turned around and sat beside Chen Jia Qian, crossing his legs in amusement as he said, "Miss, if you want to drink, feel free to do so. If you want to find a man, please go somewhere else."

Chen Jiaxian waved to the boss of the bar, signalling for him to send someone to deal with it.

Nana did not seem to mind; she bluntly poured a glass of wine and rubbed her heels against Ling Qiao's pants. "It's just a drink, your wife will not know."

The owner of the bar came over himself and bowed as he apologized, "CEO Ling, I'm sorry. Na Na is drunk. I'll help her go …" The boss grabbed Nana by the arm and pulled her away. "Go somewhere else and get drunk. This place isn't suitable for you."

"No, no, no. I like it here. Hey, don't pull me …" Nana's voice trailed off until it was lost in the din of the music.

Chen Jiaxi knocked Ling Qiao with his wine cup, "What? Once bitten by a snake for ten years? " Ling Qiao had told him about the quarrel he had with Shu Shu over a lipstick print.

Ling Qiao nodded, admitting without hesitation, "That's right, that's right. I'm very willing to be a wife, but …" He leaned weakly against the sofa, his misty eyes half closed. "My wife doesn't care about me anymore …"

Fan Yu did not say anything else. It seemed like Shu Shu's departure had indeed caused Ling Qiao a disastrous amount of suffering. That sort of heart-wrenching pain could only be slowed down; no matter what others said, it would be of no use.

"Jia Qian, Zi Jun, when I'm drunk, don't let any woman near me. Also, you must take me home." Taking advantage of the fact that there was only a sliver of consciousness left, Ling Qiao instructed.

"Mm …" Fan Yu took a sip of red wine. Ai, this wine is so bitter!

In the middle of the night, Chen Jiaxian carried the drunk man into the house.

"Sister Li, Ling Qiao drank quite a bit …" The elders of the Ling family had long since gone to sleep, and even the servants had put on their clothes to open the doors.

"En, thank you so much, our family's Qian, it's so late yet you're sending the young master back." Sister-in-Law Li sighed. This man … his wife had left, and he no longer looked human.

"Shu Shu …" "Shu Shu …" The move just now had caused Ling Qiao, who had been drunk to death, to come back to his senses. In his daze, he saw Shu Shu's figure appear in front of him, "I'm sorry …" I couldn't speak in front of you, so I wanted to give you a surprise... I'm sorry, I just love my face... "Burp!" A burp knocked him down.

Sister-in-law Li's heart ached as he walked forward. The woman could not help but cry. She cried as he helped Ling Qiao up. "Eldest Young Master, don't torture yourself like this. It's normal for the two to quarrel. After a few days, you'll be back …"

"Shu Shu …" "You're back?" Ling Qiao tried his best to prop himself up, and his forehead knocked against the glass tea table. "Eh!" He lay down heavily on the ground again, a red and swollen bump appearing on his forehead.

Chen Jiaxian picked him up again and threw him onto the sofa. She took ice from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel, and put it on his forehead.

"Jia Qian, it's already so late. You should go back. I'll take care of this place."

"It's fine …" He reached out his hand, afraid of Ling Qiao's face. "Wake up, we're home."

Ling Qiao fainted again as he called out Shu Shu's name indistinctly. There was no other way, she couldn't possibly let him lie in the living room … So he picked him up again and carried him upstairs.

In the room, Chen Jia Qian looked at Shu's ring and the photo album on the bedside table. He touched the photo of the two together with his thumb and thumb, and couldn't help but feel sad. Shu Shu, in the end, you still left …

"Sister Li, I'll leave him to you. I'll head back now."

"Alright, it's too late. You must be careful when you go home."

"Yes."

In a daze, Ling Qiao dreamed that he and Shu had been quarrelling, and then the camera turned and they were back in Guam's church, full of pink champagne roses, Shu smiling in front of him in his white gauze, his head bowed, kissing him until his hair was white. Suddenly, Xia Guang broke into the house, dragging Shu Shu along like a bandit as he ran. Shu Shu shouted for help, but he could not move her feet. She could only hysterically yell: Shu Shu, Shu Shu, Shu Shu …

"Eldest young master, Eldest young master …" Sis Li patted his cheek. Seeing his serious expression and his stuttering manner, she knew that he was having a nightmare. "Eldest Young Master, please wake up."

After a few shouts, he still did not wake up. Sister-in-law Li sighed, covered him up with a blanket and left the room.

That night, Ling Qiao finally fell asleep. Although he borrowed the power of alcohol, he still had a nightmare.

At noon the next day, a strong sunlight shone through the gaps between the curtains and onto Ling Qiao's face. Ling Qiao woke up, the sunlight shining so hard that he could not open his eyes. Instinctively, he reached out his hand to block the sunlight. In between his fingers, a familiar figure jumped in. "ShuShu!" He sat up abruptly, his head spinning and his head aching, but he couldn't care less and stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes. "ShuShu!"

"Look carefully, it's me, not Shu Shu!" Shen Xiaoxuan stood beside the bed with her hands on her hips, "Young Master Ling, please wake up. Don't recognize a woman as your wife if you see her …"

Ling Qiao's face was filled with disappointment as the pain in his head intensified. "What are you doing here?" He slumped back on the bed, his chin already covered with fine stubble.

Seeing him in such a sorry state, Shen Xiaoxuan felt that she had failed to meet her expectations, "I came here with Jia Qian, so I was worried about you."

Ling Qiao's closed eyes immediately opened, but when he heard Shen Xiaoxuan say, "Shu Shu has not been able to contact me." "Of course she wouldn't look for you if she tried to hide from me."

Shen Xiaoxuan, "It seems like you're not going to the company today?"

"Mm …"

"Hey, why are you so free?!" You are a dignified CEO, tied to the family of over ten thousand people. If something happens to you and you're in a bad mood, you don't have to go, so what about your employees? If everyone goes out of work when they have something to do, how will they generate income for you? "

Ling Qiao got up impatiently and slightly opened his eyes, "Got it, so annoying!" He went into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Shen Xiaoxuan held back her anger, "Why are you going in? You want to kill yourself?! " As soon as she arrived at the Ling family mansion, she heard from Aunt Li that Eldest Young Master had been acting very strangely. The most common thing was to hide in the toilet for a long time, making everyone anxious.

Ling Qiao opened the door and stuck his head out, shouting, "I don't want to commit suicide. Can I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth and wash my face? "It's better for you to take care of your Chen family."

Shen Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes at him, "Then go slowly, I'm going downstairs to eat breakfast." She turned and walked away.

Ling Qiao stood dumbly in front of the mirror. He was truly frightened. Not only was his face covered in stubble in the mirror, there was even a bump on his forehead. He quickly turned on the tap and splashed his face with the water.

Suddenly, Shu Shu's voice came from behind.

"Ling Qiao, hurry up. As the boss, you have to set an example. Don't be late for work."

"Ling Qiao, I want to eat ice cream. Bring some for me when you're off duty, don't forget them."

Ling Qiao, whose face was covered in water, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the room. Where was Shu Shu's shadow? All of this was just an illusion.

"Heh." He couldn't help but laugh at himself. Shu's smile had already sunk deep into his bones. No matter where she was, he felt that she was by his side.

He took a deep breath to regain his composure, quickly finished the washing, and shaved. His unkempt face had regained its handsomeness.

After a while, Ling Qiao, who was fully dressed, walked downstairs. Shen Xiaoxuan, Chen Jia Qian, Hu Xin, and Aunt Li all looked at him with gratification in their eyes. Only then did he look like a human being.

"Young Master Ling is very energetic." Shen Xiaoxuan blinked mischievously, raised her fist and made a gesture to cheer him on.

Ling Qiao smiled. "I'm going out for a while. You guys go busy yourselves, I'm fine."

This was the first time that Chen Jiaxi had come to the Ling family for breakfast, "Oh, then we'll leave after eating. Let's contact each other over the phone if there's anything."

"Alright."

After Ling Qiao left, Shen Xiaoxuan sat down and asked, "Do you really believe that he will just go out like that?"

"Otherwise? Do you need people to look at him? "

"Hur hur, that's true. However, it's fine even if you can't see anything. His whereabouts are naturally reported by the puppies."

"Hmm, I finally think that the puppies are not worthless."

Hu Xin interrupted and said, "Home Qian, thank you so much for last night. These days, you have to help me look after Ling Qiao. I'm really afraid that something might happen to him."

Shen Xiaoxuan secretly rolled her eyes, hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that you often squabble about the matter, ShuShu wouldn't be in so much pain.

Chen Jiaxi smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I'm always with Ling Qiao, so I'll pay attention to his mood."

"Well, that's good. His father and I are going to Holland, and he doesn't want to go with us. I can't be at ease."

"Auntie, you can go rest in peace. Ling Qiao is such a big person, what is there to worry about?"

Even though she said that, Hu Xin was still worried and kept sighing.

In the cemetery, the orchids were blooming brilliantly. Strings of flowers were hanging from the branches, as if they were kowtowing to a dead family member. Ling Qiao knelt in front of Shu Ning's tombstone and bowed her head to repent.

Mom, I'm sorry, I couldn't take good care of ShuShu, I failed to live up to your expectations, I'm not fit to be your son-in-law.

Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted ShuShu, please forgive my selfishness, it is I do not know love, I do not know cherish.

Mother, you are in heaven, let me find ShuShu. I swear that I will not make the same mistake again. I swear that I will be good to ShuShu for the rest of my life.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew from the ground, blowing a few blooming bell-orchids. Ling Qiao stretched out her hand and picked it up, placing it beside his nose as he took a deep sniff. A faint, delicate fragrance faintly wafted over. Ling Qiao smiled and gently placed it in front of Wang Hong's grave. Mom, and Grandma, you must bless ShuShu and give me a chance to atone for my sins!

The earth would not stop spinning without someone, and what was to be lived with would have to be lived with. For the sake of Ling Bai, for the sake of his career, Ling Qiao had to muster up his spirit.

He seemed to have returned to Hokkaido, but Ling Qiao really didn't care about this. No matter what tricks Yintian used, he wouldn't easily compromise, and he definitely wouldn't ignore the benefits in front of him to consider the long-term effects.

As long as he delayed until the end of the year, when the time for him to work with Cherry Blossom expired, there would be no need for him to even meet with Xia Yang.

Ling Qiao's increasing experience in actual combat had allowed him to grow rapidly. Most importantly, he valued relationships and invested a large amount of funds into the welfare of the staff. Thus, he was very popular. Ling Bai Group was like a highly condensed team, unstoppable.

In addition to his work, he would often go to the old Chun Shuyuan, where he would often stay for a few days. Every night when he came back from his dream, his lonely and tired heart would always be pacified by Shu Qingli's figure. This was their home and his safe haven.
