Chapter 93: 093. Ungrateful Little Demon

Qiao Xu stared at him, dumbfounded for a few seconds. Hadn’t he left? Why had he come back?

Coming to her senses abruptly, she immediately put away the astonished look on her face and said in a deep voice, “President Lu, didn’t you hear it? Why bother pretending not to know?”

“Qiao Xu!”

He stared at her coldly, and she looked back at him expressionlessly. Neither would give in to the other.

Seeing Lu Moqing take a sudden step towards her, Qiao Xu was startled by his movement and reflexively stepped back. As a result, her foot missed the step behind her, and she fell backward.

Her face turned pale with fright, and she instinctively raised her hand to grab something. She only felt a tightening around her waist, and the hand on her waist pulled her back with slight force.

Qiao Xu’s feet were not steady, and with that pull, she fell directly into Lu Moqing’s arms.

At that very instant, a taxi parked nearby just happened to pass by. If Qiao Xu had fallen earlier, she would have been hit directly by the car.

Qiao Xu, still trembling with fear, was held in Lu Moqing’s arms for a while before she could regain her composure. She instinctively clung to Lu Moqing’s clothes, taking deep breaths to calm her wildly pounding heart.

Lu Moqing was also quite scared. If he had reacted just a bit slower, the car would have targeted Qiao Xu and hit her directly.

His heart raced because of the lingering fear, and he could only stand there, stiff and tense, holding Qiao Xu’s waist. His hand unconsciously tightened its grip, as if afraid she would fall if he loosened it.

It took a while for Qiao Xu to recover from the lingering fear. Only then did she realize that the two of them were very close. In addition, her entire body was drenched by the rain. Her summer clothes were already thin, and now that they were wet from the rain, her white chiffon shirt clung tightly to her body, revealing the spring scenery underneath.

What annoyed her even more was that her body was pressed tightly against Lu Moqing’s firm abdomen. Lu Moqing’s body was very hot, and the heat penetrated through the thin layer of clothing and reached her skin.

Qiao Xu frowned, took a deep breath, and looked at Lu Moqing’s tense face. With a faint smile, she said, “President Lu, are you addicted to holding your ex-wife in your arms? Can’t bear to let go?”

Qiao Xu’s teasing words brought Lu Moqing back to his senses. He felt the soft and delicate touch of her waist under his palm and realized he had been holding her all along without letting go.

His beautiful eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, and his cold, thin lips pursed into a straight line, adding a touch of frostiness to his demeanor.

Qiao Xu had thought that Lu Moqing would say something sarcastic, especially since she had seen the flash of annoyance in his eyes. But the next moment, she saw him smile.

His cold, thin lips slowly spread into a perfect arc, softening the chill around him.

“My wife has such a bad memory. Why do I always have to remind you that we’re not divorced yet? And if we’re not divorced, how can you call yourself an ex-wife?”

Qiao Xu couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly. She was too lazy to argue with Lu Moqing about this worn-out topic.

Just as she was about to shake off his hand and leave, she heard Lu Moqing continue, “Besides, you’re such an ungrateful little demon. If it weren’t for me just now, you would have been hit by that car.”

As he spoke, he even teasingly flicked Qiao Xu’s nose with his hand.

Qiao Xu: “…”
