Chapter 598: Chapter 598: All I Want is Your Safety

Lu Lingche listened as she continued to cry, a pang of heartache within him.

He tenderly stroked her head, whispering, “Why did you come out here alone? It’s too dangerous. You’re not allowed to go out by yourself again. If there’s anything you want to do, just let me do it. Whether you want to kill or set a fire, I can do it. Do you understand?”

He’d been so candid. If Qiao Yin claimed that she wasn’t moved at all, it would be a lie.

Her spirit was trembling, her emotions swaying.

It took quite a while before she managed to suppress her trembling, and asked Lu Lingche, “Why do you think I came here to kill someone?”

In his heart, Lu Lingche thought: Because you’ve done something similar before.

The moment he saw her calmly walk out of the abandoned factory with an umbrella, he knew that she wasn’t kidnapped, she came to punish others.

The last time was also a rainy night, at a unfamiliar location.

Long Wu, who almost killed her grandmother, nearly died at her hands. Although Long Wu was still alive, he was living in a worse state than death. He even fled Tianyun City hastily to live in the harsh conditions of the desert outskirts.

However, Lu Lingche dared not let Qiao Yin know that he knew about Long Wu. Otherwise, she would definitely get angry and scold him again.

He responded casually, “I was just making an example, I didn’t say you came to kill someone. Whatever you want to do, as long as it does not harm you, I won’t interfere.”

Qiao Yin raised her head from his embrace, looking at him skeptically, “You really won’t interfere? Won’t you let your bodyguards go in and check?”

Lu Lingche wiped away her tears, unconcerned, “What’s there to check? You’ve come out safely, haven’t you? All I care about is your safety, nothing else is important.”

All of Qiao Yin’s doubts were choked back in her throat.

She was a little confused.

Had Lu Lingche really started to like her?

Why?

Was it because he couldn’t get used to life after the divorce?

Or because he realized she was more than just a pretty face, that she was competent, and there were reasons for him to like her?

Or was it because he discovered the true nature of Lan Yuyi and started to appreciate his ex-wife more?

Lu Lingche saw her dazed, tiny droplets of water lingering on her long eyelashes, trembling with her breath, making her look innocent and cute.

He couldn’t help himself, he bent down and kissed her.

Qiao Yin snapped back to reality, glaring at him in annoyance, “What are you doing? Let me go!”

Lu Lingche didn’t care about her glare, choosing to hold her tight and preventing her from shaking him off, “Can I sleep at your house tonight?”

“In your dreams!”

“I have indeed been dreaming a lot recently.”

“Are you going to let go or not? Haven’t I already said that I don’t want to see you again? Are you deaf? If you don’t let go, I’ll prick you with a needle!”

“Could you not be so harsh with me? When you used to like me, you always tried to get close, when did I ever push you away? I even welcomed your presence. But now that I like you, why do you insist on driving me away?”

“How is it the same? I’ve never betrayed you! But you? You immediately divorced and married someone else. After being so cruel, how can you expect I just forget everything?”

In the past, when she criticized him like this, Lu Lingche didn’t particularly care.

But now, hearing her reproach him, his heart throbbed with a sweet sense of guilt and remorse.

She liked him, she didn’t want a divorce, she didn’t want him to marry another woman, the divorce had truly angered her.

He tightened his arms around her, remorsefully apologizing, “I was wrong, it’s my fault. You can punish me however you want, even with a needle, but you can’t drive me away, you can’t turn me away.”
