Chapter 848 -848: Then I’ll Just Be Ugly Like This Every Day

Qiao Yin felt somewhat flustered by his entwining fingers. She tried to pull her hand away, but Lu Lingche gripped it even tighter.

She lowered her head, looked at their clasped hands, and answered somewhat absentmindedly, “She came to scold me, and I scolded her back. She should be nearly dead from anger by now.”

“Hmm, you really know how to get under people’s skin. It seems she can’t get the upper hand as long as you don’t get physical.”

Qiao Yin lifted her head, slightly unwilling to accept this, “Even if we did get physical, she wouldn’t have the upper hand.”

Lu Lingche frowned slightly, “So you’re saying you let her have the upper hand on purpose? You got hurt on purpose?”

Qiao Yin turned her face away, unwilling to admit it, “No, I was just unprepared.”

Lu Lingche pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him, “You might fool others with that, but not me. I know your abilities. If you didn’t want to get hurt, a single injection would have done the job. I don’t care what plans or intentions you have, but from now on, you’re not allowed to hurt yourself in such a pyrrhic way! Don’t think having good medicine gives you the right to let yourself get injured recklessly!”

Qiao Yin quietly looked at him. He had a handsome and perfect face, with a pair of deep, indifferent eyes. However, if he toned down his indifference, showing just a hint of warmth, it would make one feel that his gaze was filled with deep affection.

When he looked at her with that expression, when he spoke to her in that tone, it always gave her the illusion that he liked her, that he cared about her.

Before they got married, she occasionally had this illusion, but in the span of five years, there were only a few such moments.

But now, these illusions were becoming more frequent and intense.

Rather uncharacteristically, she didn’t jab at him or push him away. Touched by her behavior, Lu Lingche gently pulled her into his arms and kissed her lightly.

As Qiao Yin snapped back to reality, she immediately pushed him away, “Go out, I need to work now.”

However, Lu Lingche sat down on her chair, “If you don’t like me accompanying you to your treatments, then I’ll wait in your office. When you’re done working, I’ll take you out for dinner.”

“The CEO of a corporation and you’re this free? Don’t you need to go back to the corporation?”

“I’ve told you, I gave up the inheritance of the corporation. Now it’s not mine, it’s my nephew’s. Why would I work so hard? The corporation only needs to maintain its current status and stabilize profits, and I’ll have fulfilled my duty to my brother.”

Qiao Yin paused, realizing she had forgotten that he had given up his family inheritance.

He was truly different from others. While others fought tooth and nail over family property and succession rights, even brothers would stab each other in the back, Gu Chengqiao even went so far as to arrange a car accident for his brother, forcing him out of the corporation’s power center.

But when Lu Lingche said he would give it up, he simply did.

Qiao Yin shook her head, “Fine, it’s none of my business how you deal with your work, but I call the shots in my office. You can’t stay here, and I won’t go for dinner with you. After work, I’m going to pick up Grandmother and take her home.”

Lu Lingche responded indifferently, “You don’t need to pick her up; Grandma will go get her. She’s having dinner with Grandma tonight. As for you—just say you’re dining with Lu Yanxi. Of course, if you’re willing to admit you’re eating with me, that’s even better.”

Qiao Yin frowned at him. Had he already arranged everything?

“If Grandmother and Grandma are having dinner together, then I’ll join them, and I’ll invite Yan Xi as well. Anyway, I’m not having dinner with you. I can’t stomach anything when looking at your face.”

Lu Lingche’s face turned a shade of green, “You find me ugly?”

“Yes.”

“I haven’t complained about you, yet you find me ugly?”

Qiao Yin subconsciously touched her own face, swollen and purple from the slightly toxic medicine she had used, and chuckled, “If being ugly would make you despise me, then I might as well be this ugly every day!”
