744: Chapter 740: Is Bai Zhiqing Getting a Divorce?
“It was because of Zhiqing’s father that we ended up signing the contract marriage.”
Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Qianru, sighed, and said, “It was several months ago, one night on my way ho, when I ran into Zhiqing.
She was being chased by a few n and I rescued her.
I originally planned to take her ho, but Zhiqing had been dosed with a strong aphrodisiac, and if it wasn’t dealt with promptly, she might have ended up a fool from the effects of the drug…”
“So to save Zhiqing, you beca involved with her, and the person who drugged her was her father, Bai Shan,” Lin Qianru continued.
“Exactly, I really had no other choice at that ti, so I had to do it.”
Lu Tianxing nodded, took a deep breath, and said, “It’s also for that reason that I and Zhiqing signed a contract to beco a legally recognized couple in pretense, which allowed us to divorce automatically once the ti elapsed.
Honestly, I never regarded Zhiqing as my wife initially, and she likewise never saw as her husband.
To her, I was nothing but an insect in a dirty ditch compared to the phoenix she is, without any connection whatsoever.
In the company, Zhiqing tolerated ti and again; you all probably thought I was Zhiqing’s relative, not her nominal husband!”
At this, Lu Tianxing’s mouth curled into a self-mocking smile, “Unfortunately, fate doesn’t play by human calculations, the unpredictability of life.
As ti went on, I found myself gradually getting used to Zhiqing’s presence.
Though she seed cold on the surface, she was actually soft-hearted, and over ti, Zhiqing beca increasingly important in my heart until, unbelievably, she began to fall in love with .”
“At that point, I realized that I was on a narrow bridge with no way back.
I didn’t want to see you in pain because I know your personality; if you knew that the man you liked was your best friend’s husband, you might silently disappear forever, a prospect I never wished to face,” he said.
“Qianru, no matter what, I want to apologize to you.
You can call fickle, or even scum if you wish, but I want to tell you that I love you, and you are as important to as Zhiqing is.
I don’t want to lose you.”
Lin Qianru fell silent.
Lu Tianxing was right.
If he had told her that his wife was Bai Zhiqing, most likely she would have vanished from Bai’s Group forever, perhaps even marrying Tan Heng and then ending her life on her wedding night, disappearing from the world forever, or finding a place where no one knew her to live out her days alone.
“Tianxing, I…”
As if seeing through Lin Qianru’s thoughts, Lu Tianxing spoke again, “Qianru, I know what you want to say.
I know I am scum, always looking around even while having my own, and to be honest, sotis I think of myself as trash.
But don’t worry, I will provide a satisfactory explanation for both you and Zhiqing.”
With that, Lu Tianxing started the car, ready to leave the Huangpu River and head back to Bai’s Group.
At this point, the issue had to be resolved, no matter what.
“Tianxing,”
Seeing Lu Tianxing start the car, Lin Qianru’s body trembled, her mind snapping back as she called out in anxiety.
“Qianru, you don’t need to persuade …”
“I’m not trying to persuade you, I just have a question to ask you.
If you had t before you t Zhiqing, would you have married ?”
Lu Tianxing was silent for a mont before he nodded and said, “Yes, if I had t you earlier, I would definitely have married you.”
Upon hearing this, a smile imdiately appeared on Lin Qianru’s pale face, whether Lu Tianxing said this to comfort her or sincerely, it at least proved that he had her in his heart, that Lu Tianxing loved her.
Won are like that, especially those entangled in love; even if they know that such words might be false, ant to deceive them, sotis they choose to believe them, even concocting nurous reasons in their hearts to prove that those words are true.
And just at that mont, Lu Tianxing’s phone suddenly rang.
Lu Tianxing paused briefly when he saw the caller ID and imdiately answered the phone.
“Manman, what’s wrong?
Why are you calling all of a sudden?”
“Brother, where are you now?
Never mind, I don’t care where you are or what you’re doing, drop everything imdiately and co to the office.
Sister Zhiqing wants a divorce.
Hurry back to the office; I’ll hold off your wife for you, but you must co back as fast as possible,” Manman said urgently.
Mandala’s voice was filled with anxiety.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s expression changed, and he hurriedly replied, “Hold Zhiqing back for ; I will be there soon.”
“Got it, brother.
Hurry back.
Your wife looks really upset, and she has been crying.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop her when the ti cos,” Manman warned.
“I understand.
I will return as fast as I can.”
Lu Tianxing hung up the phone with Mandala, his expression grim to the extre.
He hadn’t expected things to have escalated to this level.
“What’s wrong?
Did my issue cause you and Zhiqing to argue?” Lin Qianru asked softly.
Although she hadn’t clearly heard the phone conversation, Lu Tianxing’s expression gave away its significance.
“Zhiqing wants to divorce ,” Lu Tianxing didn’t hide the truth from Lin Qianru.
“What?”
Lin Qianru was startled, disbelief filling her eyes.
She had not expected things to have reached this point.
“Tianxing, I…”
“You don’t need to apologize to ; it’s not your fault.
It’s all my fault.
I need to go back to Bai’s Group now; I can’t stay with you any longer,” he said.
“I’ll go back with you,” she offered.
Lu Tianxing was montarily taken aback upon hearing Lin Qianru’s words, instinctively wanting to refuse.
However, seeing her resolute expression, he eventually nodded, started the car, and headed toward Bai’s Group.
Throughout the trip, Lu Tianxing drove at breakneck speed, never slowing down.
The BMW dashed through the traffic like a streak of lightning, causing countless drivers to curse loudly.
Many were stunned by this display of wild driving that could well qualify for a World Championship.
anwhile, in the CEO’s office of Bai’s Group, Bai Zhiqing sat in her chair, cold as frost, an icy aura repelling everyone around her.
Her eyes were red, her pretty face void of any expression, making her look like a sculpture carved out of ice.
PS: Staying in a small place where a trip to the city takes almost a day.
Going to the city today; I will visit the hospital tomorrow for a checkup, hoping it’s nothing serious.
