Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Lu Lingche, You Can Leave

Lu Yanxi suddenly looked at Lu Lingche, who was applying medicine to Qiao Yin, disbelief in her eyes, as if to say: Second Brother, are you blind? How can you not find this attractive?

Unable to resist, Lu Lingche retorted in a soft voice, “Can you stop slandering me? When did I say you’re not good-looking?”

Upon hearing his voice, Qiao Yin stiffened noticeably.

After a while, she managed to ask, “Lu Lingche, why are you here? Why didn’t you make a sound when you arrived?”

Lu Lingche continued applying the medicine, his voice low but clear, “If I made a sound, would I have been able to hear you badmouthing me?”

“I was just stating facts.”

“Then tell me, when have I ever said you’re not good-looking?”

“You’ve never verbally said it, but your actions have proven it.”

Lu Yanxi also reacted and chimed in: “Exactly, Second Brother, you seem to be infatuated with Lan Yuyi’s style. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have divorced Yinyin! Don’t tell me you really think that someone like Lan Yuyi is attractive, while Yinyin isn’t?”

Lu Lingche leveled a cold gaze at her, “If you don’t know what to say, then talk less.”

Lu Yanxi swiftly covered her mouth.

But Qiao Yin spoke: “Lu Lingche, leave, and don’t come back. I don’t want to see you.”

“You can’t see me right now.”

“I also don’t want to hear your voice.”

“You hate me that much?”

“Yes.”

“Then I won’t talk.”

“Even your presence isn’t acceptable. We are divorced, and you’re married to Lan Yuyi. Please go find her.”

“As I’ve said before, we didn’t legally marry, we only held a wedding ceremony – it was for my elder brother.”

“Regardless of who it was for, I don’t want to have any future dealings with you. Keep your distance, or I might lose my life. Although you may not believe me, I am certain that this car accident has something to do with someone from your side. You are the reason of my misfortune.”

Lu Lingche was dazed.

It turned out she had already figured out the cause of the accident and even the instigator.

She was so sharp it was shocking.

Internally, Lu Lingche resented his mother’s actions. He choked up in frustration, “I’m sorry, it’s indeed my fault. Whatever your demands are, I will compensate.”

“I don’t need anything. I just need you to leave, and never appear in my life again.”

“I can’t grant that request, choose something else.”

“That’s my only request.”

Lu Lingche fell silent as the pain in his chest spread again. The gulf between them seemed to grow wider as her retreat outpaced his approach.

On the side, Lu Yanxi was examining him with an incredulous gaze.

She had known Second Brother since birth, but it was the first time she had heard him apologizing to someone!

Always proud and aloof, Second Brother was showing a degree of humility in front of Qiao Yin.

It was strange, but why did she get the feeling that Second Brother was deeply in love with Qiao Yin?

But didn’t Second Brother love Lan Yuyi? Otherwise, why would he divorce Qiao Yin?

But if Second Brother loved Lan Yuyi, why would he come to see Qiao Yin in the middle of the night?

Didn’t Lan Yuyi give birth to a seven-pound baby boy for him? Their Eldest Aunt had already happily announced the birth and the child’s name on her social media.

But why didn’t Second Brother look happy at all?

Oh, right! Could it be that Second Brother already knows that the baby isn’t his?

That’s why he doesn’t like Lan Yuyi anymore, and wants to win back Qiao Yin? He now realizes that Lan Yuyi isn’t good for him and appreciates Qiao Yin’s worth?

Lu Yanxi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Second Brother was indeed a jerk!

In the end, per Qiao Yin’s request, Lu Lingche left.

Lu Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief. His presence had been oppressive, making it hard for her to breathe. As soon as he left, she felt significantly lighter.

She lay on the bed next to Qiao Yin’s and quickly fell asleep.
