CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce

Chapter 286: 286. Ungrateful wretch

She smiled at him, suppressing the pain of those three years in her memory.

She forced herself not to care about how he had mercilessly violated her in the bathroom and how he hadn’t spared her no matter how much she pleaded.

Was this how he treated her when he claimed to have feelings for her?

Lu Moqing paused, seeing the flash of pain in Qiao Xu’s eyes, and understood that she was recalling the three years of their marriage. On this point, he could not argue.

"It’s stitched up. Be careful not to bump the wound."

Qiao Xu’s movements stopped, and she hid all the emotions in her eyes, returning to peace, with no intentions of continuing the topic from before.

Lu Moqing, however, was still unwilling to let the topic drop, and opened his mouth to say: "Qiao Xu..."

Raising her hand to interrupt Lu Moqing, Qiao Xu put away the medicine box and said to him:

"Lu Moqing, you know it too. Even if Su Rou back then was just an excuse for you to dismiss me, you can’t deny that you didn’t have feelings for me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have found a random woman to get rid of me, right?"

"No..."

Lu Moqing wanted to argue, but Qiao Xu didn’t want to listen anymore. No amount of argument could change the reality.

"I’m going to wash my hands."

Qiao Xu interrupted Lu Moqing and quickly walked towards the bathroom. Her figure held a hint of desperation to escape.

Lu Moqing didn’t follow her but watched her retreating figure, his thoughtful gaze gradually deepening, and that feeling of helplessness gradually spreading in his heart.

When Qiao Xu came out after washing her hands, Lu Moqing was sitting on the sofa, looking at her thoughtfully. Qiao Xu felt uneasy under his gaze, so she turned her eyes towards the window.

The night sky outside the hotel had darkened.

"It’s very late. You should call Assistant Jiang to pick you up."

Lu Moqing averted his gaze and gave an "Okay" before standing up from the sofa and taking out his mobile phone to call Jiang Hao.

"President, you’re looking for me?"

"Come to the hotel to pick me up... You’re going on a business trip? You’re boarding the plane now? Alright, never mind."

Jiang Hao: "..."

What did he say? He didn’t say anything.

Staring at his disconnected phone, Jiang Hao muttered quietly, "When did I have a business trip?"

After hanging up, he saw that Qiao Xu was already sitting in front of the computer, dealing with some files, and had completely ignored him. He felt a little ignored.

He walked over to Qiao Xu and said, "Jiang Hao has gone on a business trip."

"Doesn’t the Lu family have a driver?"

"Old Zhang took Grandma to the banquet."

Lu Moqing answered without changing his expression.

Seeing that Qiao Xu’s attention hadn’t looked towards him, a hint of anger appeared on his face. "Fine, it’s just a small wound. I’ll drive myself home."

After saying that, he turned around to open the door. Seeing that Qiao Xu still hadn’t stopped him, Lu Moqing’s face became even more sullen.

Ungrateful thing!

He cursed inwardly, his hand resting on the doorknob for a long time without moving. Finally, Qiao Xu’s voice came from behind him, "Wait."

Lu Moqing’s lips curled up, and as he turned around, Qiao Xu had closed her computer and was getting up to walk towards him.

"I’ll take you home."

She looked at Lu Moqing’s smiling eyes and guiltily avoided his gaze, purposely explaining: "You got hurt because of me after all; I have to do something."
