CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 363. Why didn’t you ask me first?

"After those men left, Su Rou came in."

When he mentioned Su Rou, he seemed a bit cautious, his gaze nervously settled on Qiao Xu’s face. However, Qiao Xu remained expressionless, just waiting for him to continue.

Lu Moqing pressed his lips together tightly before continuing, "She secretly took me out, but when we arrived at the elevator entrance, those men came back. They beat Su Rou up, and they escaped before my people arrived."

He looked at Qiao Xu’s face again, seeing her seemingly lost in thought while listening, while he felt like a guilty child confessing his mistakes in front of her, hoping to be forgiven.

"Afterwards, I had someone check the surveillance footage of the whole hotel..."

He didn’t finish speaking, but Qiao Xu sarcastically laughed and said, "So you saw me in the surveillance footage, and you saw me on that floor, right?"

Lu Moqing remained silent, but his expression already explained everything.

The room was so quiet that only the two of them could be heard breathing, and no one spoke.

After a long while, Qiao Xu finally said, "How is Su Rou? What is her condition?"

From her expression, Lu Moqing guessed what she wanted to ask and directly replied, "At that moment, she was rescued by a medical team from the Lu family. She was almost beyond saving."

Hearing this, Qiao Xu was shocked once again. She had initially thought that this plan was Su Rou’s Decoy Strategy to get close to Lu Moqing, but who would risk their life for a man?

That was also Lu Moqing’s thought back then. It was because Su Rou was really on her deathbed that he, despite suspecting her, eventually chose to believe her.

After listening to Lu Moqing’s narration, Qiao Xu’s emotions were complicated. She originally thought that once Su Rou was involved, the things of the past would be very clear. But now, it was still a mystery.

If not Su Rou, then who was trying to harm Lu Moqing?

No, she felt that it was more likely aimed at her, otherwise, why would Lu Moqing have heard her talking with those people?

The situation was more complicated than she had imagined.

"What happened to those people who kidnapped you back then?"

She didn’t believe that Lu Moqing would have easily let go of those people.

"They’re dead," Lu Moqing said in a hoarse voice, "They died the day after the incident."

Back then, he thought it was Qiao Xu’s doing, and he had completely lost his reason. He focused all his energy on Qiao Xu but neglected those minions.

If he had asked Qiao Xu directly back then, would everything be different now?

Even though those people were dead, if he would have investigated at that time, it would have been much easier than investigating after eight years.

"Why didn’t you come and ask me?"

Qiao Xu looked at Lu Moqing, her voice emotionless.

Why indeed?

Lu Moqing was asking himself the same question. Why at that time, was he so weak-willed not to ask her, afraid to get an unbearable answer from her?

Because of his momentary fury and cowardice back then, he and Xuxu had missed each other for so many years, and now they have reached this point. Whose fault is it?

Isn’t it because of his cowardice and stubbornness?

Lu Moqing’s heart desperately wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t bring himself to do so.
