Qiao Yin didn’t move, nor did she turn around.
Lu Lingche took a step back, standing face to face with her: “Qiao Yin.” “President Lu, you successfully rescued Miss Lan. Why aren’t you with her? Miss Lan needs you, you should go to her side quickly!”
Lu Lingche looked at her pale face and spoke in a low voice: “I didn’t ignore your safety, I saved Yuyi first because she is pregnant, and she gets scared easily. You are calmer, stronger than her, so…”
“So I was just a sacrificial lamb.”
Tears filled Qiao Yin’s eyes: “Are you disappointed that I didn’t die?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it true? If I were dead, then you could openly marry your ultimate love.” Lu Lingche’s eyes were dark and obscure: “I never thought of letting you die.” “But actually, I almost did die today. I saved myself, not you. So even if you came here with the police, I don’t owe you any gratitude. Without you or the police, I could’ve left this desolate place all by myself.”
“I know.”
Lu Lingche had already seen the change in behavior of the kidnappers, but he didn’t know what Qiao Yin had done, making the kidnappers, who were planning to kill her, protect her instead when faced with danger.
“Can you let go now?”
Listening to her clear and frigid voice, feeling her unprecedented coldness, Lu Lingche reluctantly let go of her.
Qiao Yin, now free of shackles, continued to walk forward.
Yet she hadn’t eaten or drunk for a full day and night, the energy she had expended in acupuncture had drained her, and now she was completely weak. Her legs were numb from being bound, and she had been hit in the back of her head twice, causing concussion.
She only managed to take two steps before she fell uncontrollably.
However, the hard and icy ground didn’t greet her; instead, it was a warm embrace.
She was hoisted up by Lu Lingche.
Gazing at his resolute jawline, Qiao Yin spoke faintly: “President Lu, could you please hand me over to the police? They have female officers, it would be more convenient than you handling me.”
Lu Lingche didn’t say a word, holding her he got into his car.
The car was driven by bodyguard Yu Fei.
“President Lu, where should we go?”
“To Lan’s Hospital.”
Qiao Yin immediately gathered her remaining strength, struggling to get up from his lap: “I won’t go, I want to get out of the car.”
Lu Lingche held her back in his arms: “You’re gonna have a check-up.”
“Not necessary!”
The refusal was clearly etched on Qiao Yin’s face: “If you want to see Lan Yuyi, go on your own. I will not go to Lan’s Hospital. Open the car door.”
Lu Lingche furrowed his brows: “I’m taking you for a checkup, when did I say it’s for seeing Lan Yuyi? Why are you so against Lan’s Hospital?”
Qiao Yin’s expression was cold: “President Lu, you weren’t the one who was kidnapped, of course, you wouldn’t know that your ultimate love tried to persuade the kidnappers to kill me just so she herself could live. Lan’s Hospital belongs to the Lan family. How long do you think I would live if I went there? Open the door, I want to get out!”
Lu Lingche hadn’t expected this. He was silent for a moment before speaking: “We’ll go to another hospital for a checkup.”
“No need for checkup, I’m fine.”
“So where do you want to go?”
“I want to go home.”
“Fine, I’ll drive you home.”
Lu Lingche gave the address to the bodyguard. The car slowly started and moved away.
The woman in his arms was as cold as ice and was slightly shivering.
Lu Lingche asked the bodyguard to turn up the heat, then took a blanket and covered her with it.
Under the blanket, he held Qiao Yin’s icy hand in his, his palms were warm, capable of offsetting her chill.
Qiao Yin tried to pull away, but he did not let go. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
Qiao Yin looked at him expressionlessly – again he was acting this way.
When Lan Yuyi wasn’t present, he didn’t skimp on showing her a bit of care, causing her to mistakenly believe that he had feelings for her.
But whenever Lan Yuyi was around, she became invisible, and in necessary circumstances even a scapegoat..
