The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 239 - 136: She said she wanted to divorce me last night because of that man_2

When Gu Linyuan spoke these words, his eyes were filled with seriousness, letting anyone who saw his expression know he meant what he said and would follow through.

It seemed that Song Qiao had never considered that Gu Linyuan would speak like this, especially with such solemn promises, and she was momentarily stunned and speechless.

What kind of man Gu Linyuan really was, Song Qiao knew better than anyone. After all, they had dated for such a long time; at one point, it seemed like they were each other’s whole world. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

But at some point, she realized that the Gu Linyuan in front of her was different from the one in her memories.

Seeing that Song Qiao didn’t speak, Gu Linyuan’s eyes filled with deep emotions as he regretfully said, "Song Qiao, I know I was wrong to you in the past. Actually, during the time we were broken up, I felt each day dragged on endlessly. Whether it was Yun Wei or Song Xi, there was really nothing between them and me. I’ve always loved only you."

He had always kept these words buried in his heart and not spoken them out loud, but now that he had, he felt a lot more relieved.

After Gu Linyuan finished speaking, he just quietly looked at Song Qiao, his eyes only reflecting her utterly astonished expression.

At this moment, Song Qiao’s thoughts were in turmoil. The words Gu Linyuan said today caught her completely off guard. She had never imagined that Gu Linyuan still harbored feelings for her.

Her lips quivered as Song Qiao formulated her response in her heart, about to speak, when she heard the sound of the hospital room door opening. This reflexively made her breathe a sigh of relief. She turned to look towards the door and was instantly stunned by the sight of the visitor.

Gu Linyuan also looked towards the door, and upon seeing who it was, he narrowed his eyes slightly and pursed his lips, choosing not to speak.

Lu Jingchen, however, acted as if he didn’t see Gu Linyuan at all, focusing his gaze directly on Song Qiao, holding a thermos that likely contained her lunch. With his trouser-clad legs striding towards her, his voice was low but certain as he asked, "Feeling better?"

Seeing Lu Jingchen’s indifferent expression, Song Qiao tensed up a bit, but still obediently responded with a nod.

Seeing Lu Jingchen appear and knowing there were still matters to attend to at his company, Gu Linyuan knew it was time for him to leave, especially since Song Qiao was now this man’s wife, and he was at best her ex-boyfriend—an enormous gap in terms of relationships.

He knew... that man must have heard what he just said.

Or perhaps, he had intentionally spoken so that man could hear.

"Song Qiao, I have some business to attend to at the company, so I won’t disturb your rest anymore. I’ll visit you another day," Gu Linyuan stood up, his face wearing that gentle smile.

Song Qiao paused for a moment, then smiled back at him and nodded, "Okay."

Picking up the coat he had set aside earlier, Gu Linyuan seemed to remember something, hesitated, then said, "By the way, Song Qiao, my grandma has been mentioning you a lot lately. Once you’re feeling better, could you come with me to see her? Her health has been declining lately; she would be very happy to see you."

Song Qiao immediately recalled the kindly old lady from her memories, who had always been so good to her just like her own grandmother. It had been a while since she last visited, almost six months.

After thinking for a moment, without overthinking or noticing the fleeting shadow in Lu Jingchen’s eyes, she nodded, "I’ll find some time to visit her soon."

Gu Linyuan smiled warmly, casting a fleeting glance at the indifferent Lu Jingchen, his eyebrows slightly raising, but eventually, he left the hospital room.

After Gu Linyuan had left, the room was left with just Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao. Having argued so fiercely the night before, even mentioning divorce, Song Qiao now felt somewhat awkward with Lu Jingchen, unsure how to break the silence.

Lu Jingchen’s expression was dark and stormy, a deep sense of irritation brewing within him. His eyes slightly narrowed as he stared down at Song Qiao and suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Did you mention divorce last night because of that man?"

Although it was a question, the tone was assertive.

Song Qiao frowned slightly, looking up at the handsome man in front of her. He appeared very calm, but his eyes held a chilling coldness. The deep anger in his eyes resembled a turbulent storm as he gazed down at her.

For a moment, Song Qiao felt dazed, then she responded with a smile, "My asking for a divorce isn’t because of me, it’s because of you. I promised you before that while I’m Mrs. Lu, I won’t have any intimate contacts or scandals with other men, and I always keep my word."

The next second, her delicate chin was caught and lifted by the man, forcing her to meet his gaze. His eyes were like ink, filled with a suffocating cold atmosphere, "But your conversation just now wasn’t as simple as you say. How could he have known about your injury unless you told him?"

Song Qiao was taken aback, then bit her lip, her position fixed and unable to move, yet she retorted with a smile, "If you don’t trust me, why bother asking so much?"
