The breath on the cheek is a little hot.

Qiao Qiao dodged subconsciously.

The waist was held even tighter by Shang Lu's hand.

Qiao Qiao could clearly sense the emotional changes of Phytolaca.

He seemed to be in some pain.

When the tip of his nose brushed against her face, her nerves also tensed.

Shanglu smiled wryly, and let go of her waist.

Just so unwilling to be intimate with him?

"If you don't like it, I won't force you."

Qiao Qiao was half a beat slow before answering his last question:

"I just said that in front of Chen Yaxuan, because I don't want people to know that we are getting a divorce."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to make a scene?"

Shang Lu showed no expression on his face.

Cold and light.

But there was a wry smile in my heart.

He asked very coldly, "So, just now you were just acting in front of outsiders?"

"If you don't want people to know about our divorce." Qiao Qiao didn't answer him directly, "We can go through the formalities in private."

Shang Lu did not respond to her: "..."

He looked at her.

Tonight, the whole manor was very lively.

The faint light elongated the shadows of the two people.

The light also illuminated Qiao Qiao's face very clearly.

Her character is straightforward and never sloppy.

At this moment, the firmness and determination in his eyes shone with a cold light.

Shanglu gave another wry smile.

As if laughing at himself.

The majestic richest man in Pengcheng can't even deal with such an ordinary woman.

The guests are buzzing.

The two people here were relatively silent.

Some questions, Shang Lu did not ask after all.

The hand that seemed to be carelessly copied in the pocket of the suit trousers was curled up tightly.

He restrained his overwhelming emotions, and said seemingly indifferently, "Come with me over there and talk to the elders. They like you very much."

"Okay." Qiao Qiao responded sharply.

She waited to walk over with him and chat with the elders.

Shanglu stood still.

He still looked at her, "Are you going to walk with me like this?"

Qiao Qiao didn't understand what he meant.

She didn't understand until his eyes fell on her hands.

Then, holding Phytolaca's arm, pretending to be a loving couple, they walked towards the crowd together.

The people in the Shanglu family are all very nice.

She didn't know if it was good because they were all very self-cultivated people, or because everyone accepted her from the bottom of society so readily for the sake of her father-in-law and Shanglu.

All in all, everyone praises her highly.

And looking forward to her and Shang Lu's early birth of a son.

"Qiaoqiao, this time I won't urge you to have a baby so soon."

"You just had a miscarriage during Chinese New Year, so take good care of your body first."

"Don't put too much pressure on you. Marrying you is not for you to have children, but for you to enjoy happiness."

The one who spoke was Gong Gong Shang Zhong Bo.

Qiao Qiao was really grateful to her father-in-law for treating her so sincerely.

She has such a good father-in-law.

To be honest, she felt that it was a bit hypocritical for her to divorce Shang Lu because she forced her to be a full-time wife at home.

What's the fuss?

What's wrong with giving you a rich life?

But sometimes, the more people lack something, the more they will work hard to pursue it.

A sense of security was something she lacked seriously after being abandoned by her parents since she was a child.

Only by making money by herself can she have a solid sense of security.

This point is completely incomprehensible to Shanglu, who lived in a wealthy family since childhood and lived a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

This is a hurdle between her and Shanglu that she will never be able to cross.

While chatting with the elders smilingly, Qiao Qiao covered up her thoughts and did not reveal anything.

The elders caught her asking questions and chatting.

Shanglu was afraid that she would be tired, so he held her hand, "I'll take Qiaoqiao to eat something."

Finally get out.

When walking away, Qiao Qiao pulled his hand out from Shang Lu's palm.

The smile on Shang Lu's face froze instantly.

The two have their own concerns.

"Adong, why are you being so cruel to me?"

"I've been chasing you for six years, nine months and four days. It's a hard rock in my arms, so I can get the temperature out of it."

"Why do you have to reject me again and again?"

The aggrieved female voice behind the flowers broke the silence between Shanglu and Qiaoqiao.

"Adong, do you still expect my third brother and my sister-in-law to get divorced, and you will chase my sister-in-law back?"

It was Deng Wanzhou who spoke.

Shanglu's cousin.

Qiao Qiao was taken aback.

Since she knew the identity of the richest man in Shanglu Pengcheng, she also learned about He Qidong's work in the Shang Group to maintain the security of 6G technology.

Shanglu gave He Qidong a very high annual salary.

He Qidong is now working for Shanglu.

But Qiao Qiao didn't know that Shanglu's cousin was pursuing He Qidong, her ex-boyfriend.

Is it so bloody?

Behind the flowers, He Qidong said, "You know, I don't accept you, and it has nothing to do with Qiao Qiao."

Deng Wanzhou was very wronged: "Yes, you still have my sister-in-law in your heart. You only think about her. My sister-in-law and my third brother are loving and happy. What's the use of thinking about her?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you."

He Qidong walked away with a limp on his unrecovered leg.

Deng Wanzhou catches up...

At this time, Shanglu behind the flowers said, "Don't be surprised, Wanzhou just likes He Qidong."

Qiao Qiao still couldn't digest this surprising news.

Shang Lu asked, "Do you want to know the real reason why He Qidong left you back then?"

Qiao Qiao didn't answer immediately.

Not long ago, He Qidong, who had disappeared for seven or eight years, suddenly returned to Pengcheng.

The way He Qidong looked at her, the way he reacted to her, and sometimes the pain in his eyes when she inadvertently and secretly looked at her, made her vaguely aware that He Qidong had hidden secrets when he left her back then.

But that's all in the past.

She didn't want to talk about the past again.

She replied simply, "I don't want to know."

Shang Lu: "I checked He Qidong's life experience, he is just like you, he grew up without father and mother, and grew up in the same village as you."

Qiaoqiao: "Yes."

Shang Lu: "You grew up together when you were young, are you considered childhood sweethearts?"

Qiao Qiao: "It doesn't really count. It's only after I came out to work that I officially fell in love for three years."

Phytolaca: "At least we share weal and woe together."

Qiaoqiao: "..."

Shanglu: "He left you back then because he had a malignant tumor in his brain. He thought he wouldn't live long."

Tell her this to see how she reacts.

She seemed unresponsive.

Very peaceful.

After a few seconds, he said bluntly, "It's already a thing of the past..."

"Qiaoqiao, I never understood why you insisted on divorcing me."

Now, he finally understood.

"You are a cold person by nature."

"You don't even have any mood swings when such a big thing happened to someone you were childhood sweethearts with."

He Qidong and her childhood sweetheart have experienced many hardships of being abandoned by their parents together.

Putting down He Qidong, she can be so straightforward.

What about him?

In just half a year of married life, what will he do to keep her?

It's no wonder that when she filed for divorce, she was so straightforward and not procrastinating at all.

"If you want a divorce, I will fulfill you. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow." Shang Lu concealed the collapse in his heart, and looked at her coldly.
