Chapter 248: 248. Are you doubting me?

Upon hearing Qiao Xu’s voice, Lin Yuan paused the movements of her hand, a flash of resentment passing through the depths of her eyes. However, it quickly disappeared as she looked up at Qiao Xu and said:

"Mr. Lu took Qiao Yi away."

"Where did he take him?"

Qiao Xu furrowed her brows. It was already dark outside, so Lu Moqing couldn’t possibly be taking Qiao Yi back to City A now.

"Next door."

"Next door?"

Qiao Xu didn’t notice Lin Yuan’s indifferent attitude, and her brows furrowed more upon hearing her answer.

What was Lu Moqing doing taking Qiao Yi next door?

She hadn’t noticed who lived next door either.

Qiao Xu thought for a moment, and then walked to the opposite door and rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened, and Lu Moqing had already changed into casual clothes. Seeing Qiao Xu, he raised an eyebrow and said, "You’ve arrived?"

His slightly raised tone seemed to carry an intentional seductive hint, making Qiao Xu frown involuntarily.

"I have a question for you."

Without asking why Lu Moqing was living here, Qiao Xu’s voice turned colder as she recalled the phone call with Xie Yu, and her face darkened.

"Alright, come in and let’s talk."

A smile lingered in his eyes as he stepped aside for Qiao Xu and then turned to walk inside.

Qiao Xu quickly followed suit. Seeing that Qiao Yi was sitting in the living room playing with building blocks, she didn’t disturb him. Instead, she looked at Lu Moqing and got straight to the point:

"What’s your relationship with Qu Yuyan?"

Upon hearing her question, Lu Moqing’s face first showed surprise. Then, as he looked into Qiao Xu’s dark eyes, he detected her suspicion towards him, and his gaze darkened subtly.

"What do you think my relationship with him is?"

He raised his eyebrows and countered with a question.

"How would I know?"

Qiao Xu felt a little annoyed, remembering what Xie Yu had said on the phone when he saw Qu Yuyan and Lu Moqing leaving the café together, she felt a surge of inexplicable anxiety in her heart.

Lu Moqing silently watched Qiao Xu’s face, and after a long while, his pupils deepened, as if he were trying to discern something from her expression.

It was only after a while that a snort of laughter came from Lu Moqing’s mouth, "Qiao Xu, are you doubting me?"

Qiao Xu was taken aback, and without thinking, she retorted: "No."

"Yes, you are."

Lu Moqing drew closer to her, the height of his tall body carrying an oppressive air that forced her to instinctively take a few steps back. At this point, he seemed unusually aggressive.

The more she retreated, the more he advanced, forcing Qiao Xu into a corner against the wall.

Raising his hand to brace against the wall behind Qiao Xu, his eyes were dark and deep, and that familiar sense of oppression engulfed her again.

Qiao Xu didn’t know what he was thinking at this moment, but for some reason, Lu Moqing’s gaze made her feel slightly guilty.

"Do you think Qu Yuyan is my man, and that I instructed him to deliberately leak the patent to Ronghua in order to target you? Is that it?"

As Lu Moqing asked this question, his gaze darkened even more.

"No."

Qiao Xu’s voice sounded dry, once again reflexively denying it, despite not knowing why she was doing so.

Lu Moqing sneered, his eyes obscured and unreadable, "He’s my cousin. If I told you that I was just catching up with him, would you believe me?"

Qiao Xu opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

Lu Moqing didn’t seem to care about her answer. The next second, he put some distance between them, stepping back a few paces before turning to walk towards Qiao Yi.

"You should go back. I’ll send Qiao Yi home later."
