CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 127. Heartless

Chapter 127: 127. Heartless

However, just moments ago, as he looked into her cold, indifferent eyes and the unchanging depths of her dark pupils, he didn’t know why, but on impulse, he asked her, only to be promptly and decisively rejected by Qiao Xu.

Lu Moqing felt a dull ache in his chest, as well as some irritation. However, he didn’t know whether he was mad at Qiao Xu or himself.

"Qiao Xu, you should be aware that if I don’t want to get a divorce, you won’t be able to even if you sue me."

He lowered his voice, his cold eyes slightly deepening.

Qiao Xu’s lips curved into a faint, sarcastic smile, clearly aware that what Lu Moqing said was true.

"Then let’s drag it out. If President Lu doesn’t mind the green hat, for the sake of our marriage, I’ll gladly help you flaunt it."

Lu Moqing’s gaze darkened, naturally thinking of Shen Zeheng, who was at the same hospital as Qiao Xu. His eyes became even darker, adding a touch of coldness. "You have the guts to try it?"

Seeing Qiao Xu’s indifferent smile, her seemingly carefree smile added a touch of enchantment, "It’s not the first time. Has President Lu forgotten that I’ve even had a child with another man?"

Her smile became mischievous and provocative, and seeing Lu Moqing’s darkening face, Qiao Xu’s mood improved greatly.

What she couldn’t stand the most was Lu Moqing’s self-righteous, arrogant demeanor.

But, she had to admit that Lu Moqing had the capital to be so arrogant.

Qiao Xu took a step closer to him. The light scent of shower gel on her body stirred Lu Moqing’s nerves. He watched her coldly, suppressing the agitation in his heart that Qiao Xu had provoked, his gaze steadily getting colder.

"Lu Moqing, do you know why I’ve been able to endure you treating me like this for three years?"

Qiao Xu’s voice was very soft, as if it could be blown away by the wind. But this question weighed heavily on Lu Moqing’s heart.

Lu Moqing did not reply.

"It’s not because I can endure it. In fact, I’m not very patient. I endured for three years to give myself time and to give you time. I thought that as long as I persisted, you would eventually notice me."

A dull pain spread across Lu Moqing’s heart. He opened his mouth to speak, but not a single word came out.

"But now, I’ve had enough. I also realize that my endurance is meaningless to you. So, while I still have a chance to retreat, I will."

For some reason, hearing Qiao Xu say these words now, Lu Moqing’s heart was more panicked than ever before.

He had heard similar words before, but this time, the panic in his heart was somewhat out of control.

"So... Lu Moqing, when I decided to let go of that persistence, there would be no chance for regret. When you asked if I was willing to start over, deep down you know, I am not."

As Qiao Xu spoke these words, she was very calm. In her clear eyes, there was no trace of hesitation or wavering, a resolve that made Lu Moqing’s throat feel dry, and his heart tightened.

Several times he wanted to disagree, but he couldn’t. Especially when he looked into Qiao Xu’s calm eyes, he realized that this woman had no heart for him, and hadn’t for a long time.

This realization made him more and more anxious. When Qiao Xu turned to leave, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, the tight grip making her feel as if her wrist bone was about to be crushed by Lu Moqing.
