CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 172. It seems you really love me

Chapter 172: 172. It seems you really love me

Qiao Xu felt very uncomfortable under Lu Moqing’s blatant gaze, and the thought of his previous words about offering her body in return made her resistant.

Before he could speak, she frowned and said, "President Lu, please don’t mention offering my body in return again. To me, it’s too much of a loss to give up my body for just a leg. Although I’m not a cunning businessman like you, I won’t engage in a business that would make me lose."

As she spoke, her eyebrows softened, and her lips curled up in a gentle smile, which, despite carrying a hint of sarcasm, made Lu Moqing inexplicably stunned.

He narrowed his both eyes and looked deeply at Qiao Xu. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Don’t worry, offering your body in return is the principal, and I’m not in a hurry to take it back. Sooner or later, I will get it back, but I still want to collect the interest."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yuan, who had just brought out a freshly made dish from the kitchen, and said, "I want to stay for dinner."

"Alright, Mr. Lu."

Lin Yuan’s face lit up with joy. Without even glancing at Qiao Xu, she agreed and turned back to the kitchen.

Qiao Xu’s face didn’t look too good. She had always known that Lu Moqing was good at attracting women, but she wasn’t happy when it came to her own nanny.

"Why are you still here?"

"Qiao Xu, you’re really good at burning bridges after crossing them."

Lu Moqing narrowed his eyes in displeasure, and a cold aura emanated from the depths of his eyes.

Qiao Xu raised her eyebrows, not denying it, "Well, that’s true. There’s a saying, ’Near verdigris one turns green, near ink one turns black.’ After all, I’ve been married to President Lu for three years, so I’ve learned a thing or two from his unscrupulous ways."

As she spoke, her tone was light, but her raised eyebrows, pursed lips, and faint smile made her look smug, almost asking for a beating.

Lu Moqing watched the woman sitting across from him with a gloomy expression, her injured leg resting on the coffee table, making her usually capable aura diminish. In its place, an air of mischief that didn’t quite match her normal temperament emerged.

After a moment of cold silence, he suddenly chuckled, "It seems you really do love me. You want to learn everything about me, good or bad."

Qiao Xu was choked by his words, her face instantly turning dark and speechless. All she could do was glare at him, gnashing her teeth.

Lu Moqing got up and walked over to her, crouching down to meet her gaze. "Since we get along so well, why don’t you reconsider my previous proposal?"

Qiao Xu gave him a contemptuous look and decided to ignore him, realizing that she couldn’t even argue with him when he was being shameless.

At this point, Lin Yuan had already brought the cooked dishes to the table. "Madam, Mr. Lu, the meal is ready. Let’s eat."

As she spoke, Lin Yuan’s both eyes were full of anticipation, looking at Lu Moqing, seemingly waiting for his praise.

Unfortunately, from beginning to end, Lu Moqing didn’t lay his eyes on her.

Lin Yuan felt somewhat disappointed, but still maintained a smile on her face and said to Qiao Xu, "Madam, I’ll go get Qiao Yi."

"Mhm."

In the living room, only Qiao Xu and Lu Moqing were left. Qiao Xu was angry at how he treated her home as his own. At this moment, her mobile phone rang.

It was a call from President Xie, the CEO of Zhuo Rui.

"Hello, President Xie?"

"..."

"Alright, send it to my email, and I’ll take a look and get back to you right away."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xu’s email received the message sent by President Xie.
