The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 229 - 131 But Lu Jingchen, I Don’t Want to Like You Anymore

The man’s expression froze, his face shadowed and unclear as he looked at the girl in front of him, his voice carrying a hint of deep huskiness as he slightly furrowed his brows, "Qiaoqiao, it’s not what you think between her and me."

Song Qiao released her hand from her waist, lifted it to straighten her somewhat messy hair, the smile on her face unabated, her eyes filled with mocking, her voice huskier than the man’s due to not having drunk water since waking up, she retorted without answering, "Why don’t you ask how I got hurt?"

Lu Jingchen paused as he was about to grasp Song Qiao’s hand beside the bed, then quickly made a move to firmly grasp her hand, completely disregarding her struggles, and placed a kiss on her hand, "Mhm, how did you get hurt? Is it because of me?"

"Exactly!" Knowing she had less strength than the man, she did not struggle after her hand was captured, even as he brought her hand to his lips for a kiss, she only felt a slight discomfort wishing to dodge, but let him do so, her face wearing a thin smile as she stared intently at the man in front of her, stating word by word, "Mr. Lu, when you jerked me up and threw me aside, did you actually not see it was me?"

Lu Jingchen’s body stiffened, suddenly looking up at Song Qiao in front of him, his eyes flashing with disbelief, clearly not expecting it to be his own action that threw Song Qiao aside, only to gaze at her face smiling like shining stars, and in the end, his lips trembled but he said nothing, his handsome face dark as water.

Song Qiao seemed oblivious to his now unsightly expression, giving a low sneer, somewhat self-deprecatingly saying, "Right, with Miss Zuo there, how could Mr. Lu possibly notice anyone else’s presence? It’s understandable that you didn’t see me."

"Qiaoqiao." Upon hearing Song Qiao’s words and that distant address, Lu Jingchen’s big hand holding her small one couldn’t help but tighten, noticing that she frowned from the pain for a moment, he quickly let go, his throat severely congested, it took a while before he spoke, "Qiaoqiao, it’s my fault."

Song Qiao withdrew her hand, without much effort, looking at the man’s face darkening momentarily, she chuckled softly, her voice still gentle, "You see, you don’t actually want to be here with me, right? I often say things that make you unhappy inadvertently, you don’t have to suffer here, you didn’t even see that you threw me aside, it’s not your fault, I’m also to blame, why would I think about helping another woman when I hurt my own waist? You can leave, I don’t need anyone to take care of me here, and I wouldn’t dare to bother you to take care of me..."

"Song Qiao!" Lu Jingchen grabbed her hand back, his tone now carrying a trace of anger, clearly very displeased with what she was currently saying.

Song Qiao looked up at him, lifting her lips to smile, her tone still gentle but with a subconscious resistance, she lightly said with a smile, "What’s the matter? You get angry so easily?"

Since when had she stopped being afraid of this man, to the point that she’d even dare to say things he disliked, knowing full well that he was not to be trifled with, yet deliberately provoking him to anger.

Her heart felt icy cold, perhaps long ago due to a lack of warmth, she started feeling anxious as soon as warmth was easily obtained.

Always afraid of losing, causing her nerves to become even more sensitive, desperately trying to guard the gate leading to her own heart, keeping everyone outside.

Ning Wan had once said her personality was too sensitive, easily giving herself to those kind to her, hence would also be easily hurt later on. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Once upon a time, there was a moment when she thought that Lu Jingchen actually loved her, otherwise why would he sometimes be so good and gentle to her.

But after this incident, she realized it was all her own wishful thinking.

For herself, for Lu Jingchen, they were probably just people from different worlds, now they just had needs from each other.

Once the time comes, they might not have a future together.

Grasping her hand, his grip involuntarily tightened, his other hand lifting her chin to look into his eyes, upon seeing the mocking smile in her eyes his heart skipped a beat, he leaned down to kiss the corner of her mouth, his voice softened with a slight helplessness, "Qiaoqiao, I know that incident was my fault, at that time..."
