CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce

Chapter 376: 376. This is the best outcome so far

Now in City A, Grandpa is her only concern, and she can’t leave him alone in the hospital and just walk away like this.

Who knows what shameful things Qiao Sheng, that shameless man, might do to upset Grandpa?

"Oh, I see..."

Lu Moqing’s tone carried a faint hint of disappointment, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

The two of them stood silently and awkwardly, neither speaking, the atmosphere uncomfortably quiet.

After a while, Qiao Xu was the first to speak: "You should go in and rest."

"Where are you going?"

Seeing that Qiao Xu was leaving, he instinctively reached out and grabbed her, knowing he shouldn’t always be so persistent, but he couldn’t help himself.

Before knowing that he had misunderstood Qiao Xu, he couldn’t let go of her; after finding out how unforgivable his actions were, he was filled with remorse and guilt, only wanting to make it up to her.

Even if his compensation came too late, at least let him make amends.

Qiao Xu lowered her eyes to the hand gripping her wrist, slender and powerful, but overly pale due to illness.

She struggled for a bit, but didn’t break free, frowning at Lu Moqing and asking, "Since everything is clear now, what do you want?"

She looked at Lu Moqing, sneering, "You don’t still think I was the one who did it back then, do you?"

"Of course not."

Lu Moqing denied without hesitation.

Although they hadn’t found out who did it yet, he had believed her after she explained the situation back then.

Or perhaps, even before that, his subconscious had already believed her.

"That’s fine. Since you believe it wasn’t me, our affairs are resolved. Why do you still cling to me?"

When Qiao Xu said this, her face was expressionless, even somewhat determined.

Just like she told Xia Yumo, she couldn’t let go of Lu Moqing; if she wasn’t ruthless enough, she might never let go.

"I took care of you last night because of the relationship we had when we first met, so you have no reason to ask me for anything now."

Lu Moqing’s heart ached even more; he couldn’t defend himself against Qiao Xu’s words. He didn’t want anything right now; he just wanted to properly make up for the mistakes he made back then.

"Xuxu, I’m not asking us to go back to the past. I just want a new beginning."

He looked at her pleadingly, "I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but can you give me a chance to make it up to you?"

Qiao Xu shook her head, still determined, "There’s no need for compensation, really."

She deliberately ignored the hurt and abject expression on Lu Moqing’s face, saying,

"In fact, there’s one more thing I didn’t tell you. The crisis in Qiao’s that I asked you to help me through back then was caused by me. I just wanted an excuse to marry you, so those three years were voluntary. You don’t have to compensate me. It’s best if we just leave it at that."

Upon hearing Qiao Xu’s words, Lu Moqing was slightly surprised but didn’t find it unbelievable.

Back then, he had noticed that even without Lu’s funds, Qiao’s crisis could have been resolved, knowing someone was helping behind the scenes, but he hadn’t expected it to be Qiao Xu herself.
