No divorce! Mr. Lu knelt down and coaxed him every night.

Early the next morning, Lu Ze woke up and Qiao Xun was not beside his pillow.

He thought she was in the cloakroom, so he turned over lightly and walked in lightly.

Hanging on the hanger was the suit and shirt he was going to wear today, and the matching watch and cufflinks were also carefully selected... But Qiao Xun was not there.

Lu Ze thought that Qiao Xun might be preparing breakfast on the first floor.

After washing, he changed his clothes and went downstairs briskly.

In the dining room on the first floor, the servant is placing the plates, two freshly baked croissants, and the black coffee that the husband usually drinks. As for the English morning newspaper, it should be placed on the left hand side, which is what the wife usually told me.

Seeing Lu Ze coming down, the servant respectfully called sir.

Lu Ze sat down and flipped through the newspaper, raised his eyes and asked, "Where is Qiao Xun?"

The servant was startled.

It took a moment for her to come back to her senses and said warmly: "Sir, are you asking about your wife? She left early in the morning and seems to be going back to her in-laws' grandma's place. She also said she would stay for a few days."

Lu Ze said calmly: "I know."

Then, he picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He thought that Qiao Xun might be shy.

Although she didn't express anything after what he said to her last night, when they kissed later...she did respond. Lu Ze remembered that her eyes were watery and she was trembling.

Lu Ze finished breakfast and prepared to go to the company.

After getting into the car and fastening his seat belt, he took out his phone and checked to see if Qiao Xun had sent him a WeChat message. Of course, his Mrs. Lu had not.

Lu Ze simply dialed the number...

……

Qiao's apartment.

Qiao Daxun has been discharged from the hospital. From now on, he can go to the rehabilitation center for treatment once a week. Moreover, his body is recovering well, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

He just stays in the room and doesn't come out.

Qiao Xun accompanied Shen Qing to make dumplings, and Shen Qing persuaded him softly: "After some time, your father will figure it out."

Qiao Xun nodded.

Shen Qing finished wrapping a dumpling and looked up at Qiao Xun. She felt that she looked pretty good, and she thought Lu Ze had not been angry with her recently. She thought about it and asked, "Does the female celebrity named Lin who was rumored last time still have contact with Lu Ze?"

Qiao Xun then remembered last night,

Lu Ze told her that he had nothing to do with Lin Yi, and he had never touched Bai Xiaoxiao.

She believed it because Lu Ze didn't need to lie.

Qiao Xun pursed his lower lip and whispered: "He said it was a misunderstanding!"

Shen Qing patted her hand: "Is it a misunderstanding? How many days will you come back to stay?"

Qiao Xun couldn't answer. She felt a little panicked. She would rather Lu Ze came back to her occasionally to take care of his physical needs like before, and then they could go their separate ways... She felt relaxed.

But last night, he seemed different.

The words he said seemed to mean... that he wanted to start over with her?

Qiao Xun was confused when his cell phone rang. It was Lu Ze calling.

Shen Qing wisely avoided it.

Qiao Xun thought for a while and picked up. After the call, neither of them spoke... The shallow breathing on both ends of the phone reminded people of his sultry breath last night, which sprayed behind her tender ears. He wanted it very much. She was physically inconvenient, so he breathed in her ear for a long time.

Qiao Xun didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She spoke first: "Lu Ze, I want to stay at home for a few days to accompany my father."

Lu Ze paused for a few seconds. Later, he asked her in a very gentle tone: "Qiao Xun, are you avoiding me?"

They were silent again.

Lu Ze's voice became gentler: "Is it because of last night? Are you scared?"

Qiao Xun's heart beat like thunder.

In her nervousness, she actually hung up Lu Ze's call. After hanging up the phone, she gently stroked the phone, feeling a little hot behind her ears...

On the other side of the phone, Lu Ze looked at the phone and smiled silently.

He has never failed to get what he wants——

He wants Qiao Xun,

She will be his!

……

Qiao Xun hung up the phone and walked out.

Shen Qing looked at her expression and asked more: "Have you had another conflict with Lu Ze?"

Qiao Xun shook her head. She told Shen Qing the truth: "It wasn't very good the past few days, but his attitude changed when he came back last night. Aunt Shen... I can't figure out what Lu Ze was thinking."

Shen Qing went back to the bedroom, and when he came out, he had a door roll in his hand.

Shen Qing caressed it gently and smiled lightly: "This is an exhibition of your mother's paintings during her lifetime. Xiaoxun, if you feel confused, go out for a walk... When you come back for dinner in the evening, I will save the dumplings for you."

Mom’s painting exhibition…

Qiao Xun took it and caressed it lovingly.

Her mother's surname was Qin, and she became famous in Beijing at a young age. Unfortunately, the beauty died young. More than a hundred of her works were circulated on the market after her death, with each painting worth 400 to 800 million.

Shen Qing could tell that she wanted to go, so she urged softly: "Just relax."

Qiao Xun hummed.

She is really confused now, and she misses her mother too.

……

Qiao Xun's mother's painting exhibition is on display at the most famous gallery in City B. If you like it, you can talk privately with the gallery manager to buy it.

Qiao Xun looked at everything carefully.

She likes a piece of "Begonia in the Rain" very much. The price of that painting is 580 million, but Qiao Xun doesn't have that much money. She wanted to leave the money from selling the house to her father, Aunt Shen, for her old age. As for the household expenses Lu Ze gave her, she didn't want to touch it. She could only wait until the dividends were distributed at the end of the year to have more money.

Because she liked it, she stood in front of the painting for a long time. From behind, a familiar voice came: "Like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you!"

Qiao Xun was startled for a moment, then slowly turned back.

It's Li Rui!

It's been a long time since they last met. Qiao Xun thought he had given up, but he didn't expect...

Seeing that she was silent,

Li Rui smiled coldly: "You don't want to accept it? That's right! Now that you are back with Lu Ze, just 2% of Lu's equity can guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. A few million is nothing. ! But how does it feel to share your husband with other women? Or do you no longer care?"

Qiao Xun didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore: "I told you, it has nothing to do with you!"

She turned around and left, but Li Rui grabbed her thin wrist.

What he was holding was exactly the place where she cut her wrist. Qiao Xun shrank and Li Rui probably felt it. He lowered his head and looked there.

After looking at it for a long time, he asked softly: "Qiao Xun, what did I lose to him?"

Qiao Xun couldn't answer.

Li Rui didn't seem to care about her answer. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will give up everything for you! Can Lu Ze do it? He can't do it. He can't let go of even Bai Xiaoxiao, let alone..."

Li Rui didn't say any more. They all grew up in the same circle. There were some things about Lu Ze that Qiao Xun didn't know, but he and Lu Jinsheng knew about them.

Qiao Xun gently broke away from his restraints.

She raised her eyes to look at him and spoke in a very soft voice: "Li Rui, don't like me and don't give up everything for me! It's too painful to wait for a relationship that doesn't belong to you..."

She whispered again: "Thank you for your like, but I can't accept it!"

Qiao Xun turned around and left.

Li Rui stood quietly, looking at her straight and slender back, blurred by the light and shadow.

He couldn't even tell whether Qiao Xun still loved Lu Ze!
