CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 126. Unwilling

Chapter 126: 126. Unwilling

"What did my brother mean by that last comment? What does he mean by saying Song Yu should be thankful he doesn’t have a sister like me?"

It took Lu Xintong a while to react, and her face turned red with anger, "Even my brother thinks I’m a difficult sister-in-law?"

What does he mean? She just thought that a scheming woman like Qiao Xu wasn’t worthy of marrying her brother. How could her brother think she’s hard to get along with?

It depends on who her sister-in-law would be. If it were Xiao Rou, she definitely wouldn’t treat her like that.

"Has Qiao Xu cast a spell on my brother? He didn’t even like Qiao Xu before, but now he’s protecting her at every turn. What’s the meaning of this?"

Su Rou’s face looked even worse than before. She thought that after her deliberate tattling just now, Mo Qing would at least get upset with Qiao Xu, especially since Lu Xintong was still a patient, but Qiao Xu didn’t seem to care about her health.

But after all she said, Mo Qing seemed to have not heard anything at all. The only thing he seemed to grasp was that Qiao Xu didn’t want to get a divorce.

He’s protecting Qiao Xu wholeheartedly—has he forgotten what she did to him eight years ago?

No, she can’t wait like this any longer. She’s been patient for eight years already. How many more sets of eight years can she wait?

As soon as Lu Moqing left the ward, he went to find Qiao Xu. He looked at his watch; at this time, Qiao Xu should still be on rounds.

As he walked a few steps, he saw Qiao Xu standing far away in the corridor of the ward, her hands casually resting on the railing, her eyes staring vaguely into the distance, eyebrows furrowed, lost in thought.

Lu Moqing tightened his thin lips and walked over, "Qiao Xu."

This familiar voice brought Qiao Xu back to her senses, her delicate eyebrows knitting as she turned her head, "What’s up?"

Her eyes remained cool and indifferent, and whenever she faced Lu Moqing, she could easily put on an air of aloofness, as if she were dealing with a stranger.

Lu Moqing wasn’t pleased, but he didn’t let it show on his face. He stepped closer, his tall figure leaning casually against the railing, watching her.

This seemingly lazy posture could always generate an invisible charm.

He looked at Qiao Xu with a smile, "Tongtong told me you don’t want a divorce?"

Qiao Xu stared blankly for a moment, then quickly understood the source of Lu Moqing’s words, and couldn’t help but laugh, "President Lu actually takes my sister’s words to heart?"

Of course, Lu Moqing didn’t take it seriously. He came to find her specifically to say those words as merely a casual topic to start the conversation.

He lowered his eyes, his thick lashes hiding the true emotions in his eyes. After a moment, he said, "If I were to say that I hope we can forget the past and start over, would you be willing?"

"No."

Qiao Xu’s response was utterly decisive, without a single moment of hesitation. It was almost as if the answer had escaped her lips without her even realizing it.

Lu Moqing had expected Qiao Xu to refuse, but at least when she heard his proposal, she would be surprised and shocked. But she had no reaction at all; she just flatly rejected him without any hesitation.

Lu Moqing felt a sudden astringency in his heart. This feeling had not been unfamiliar to him in recent days, but it was particularly strong at this moment.

He wasn’t someone who liked to lower himself. In fact, he carried an arrogance that seemed to scorn everything at any time, and he never would have brought up an offer like the one he just made to Qiao Xu in the past.
