CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 561. Qiao Xu, do you care about me?

Chapter 561: 561. Qiao Xu, do you care about me?

Qiao Xu hurriedly stood up from the sofa, walked over to open the door and saw Lu Moqing standing at the entrance, his expression inscrutable as he looked at her.

"You’re back."

Qiao Xu asked and then made room for him to pass. She took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of him.

Lu Moqing’s gaze rested on her face, trying to see something in the depths of her eyes, but after a long time, he couldn’t find what he wanted to see, and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

After putting on the slippers and entering, he kept staring at Qiao Xu, making her feel uneasy under his gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Moqing took two steps forward, stood in front of her, and looked down at her from his higher vantage point. His dark pupils swirled with various unidentifiable colors, leaving Qiao Xu somewhat puzzled.

"Aren’t you jealous?"

Lu Moqing asked in a deep voice.

Qiao Xu was taken aback, her expression puzzled, "Why would I be jealous?"

"I gave Lin Yuan a ride home, and you’re not jealous?"

He pursed his thin lips and repeated it with a straight face.

Qiao Xu had no idea what he was sulking about and said directly, "Why would I be jealous?"

Lu Moqing’s heart sank a little more.

When he proposed to take Lin Yuan home earlier, he was worrying about how to appease his wife should she be jealous, from the moment he left the hospital to when he left Lin Yuan’s home.

He was both worried about her being jealous and not jealous.

What does it mean if she’s not jealous? It means she doesn’t care about his relationship with other women.

Just like when she proposed to remarry him, she wouldn’t bother him even if one day he falls for another woman.

And now, seeing her looking like nothing happened, Lu Moqing’s heart sank further, "It’s nothing."

He sullenly looked away and walked towards the living room. His desolate figure confused Qiao Xu even more.

So... what was he sulking about, exactly?

Seeing Lu Moqing walk to the wine cabinet and pour himself a glass of red wine, he stood for a while and then turned back.

Seeing that Qiao Xu was watching him, he paused for a moment, walked over to her, and seemed to have a lot to say but was hesitant to speak.

Qiao Xu: "???"

What’s wrong with him? He was this listless as soon as he came back – was he angered by Lin Yuan?

"You..."

"Xuxu."

As Qiao Xu was about to speak, Lu Moqing spoke up as well.

"You go ahead."

Lu Moqing lifted the wine glass in his hand, took a big gulp, and then looked at her, asking:

"For this matter, you can handle it all by yourself, right?"

Qiao Xu hesitated for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly asked this, and nodded truthfully, "Hmm, I’ve thought about how to solve it."

Lu Moqing gave a faint smile, unsurprised by her answer.

"Did you ever feel that I agreed not to meddle in your affairs, but then did it anyway?"

A sense of surprise flicked through Qiao Xu’s eyes. She didn’t expect Lu Moqing to ask this. So... was this what he was sulking about?

Qiao Xu found it somewhat amusing in her heart, thinking he had been quite sentimental lately.

Seeing that she was looking at him without saying anything, his heart couldn’t help but chill a bit more.

He knew he shouldn’t have been meddling, coming all the way back to interfere in a matter she could easily resolve on her own. In her eyes, he was probably just being nosy, right?

His heart filled with bitter self-mockery, just as he was about to speak, but he heard Qiao Xu say cheerfully, "No, not at all."
