Chapter 136: Temptation
Ling Che's tears flowed out instantly, leaving a shallow puddle of water on Xiang Ke's chest, and she bit her lip, trying to keep herself awake, for fear that she would accidentally fall into his gentle trap and find it difficult to extricate herself.
However, his embrace was so warm, and the familiar atmosphere made her greedy, and she always felt that such a hug was a luxury even if it was only for a second, enough for her to spend the rest of her life missing.
Xie Junping's voice sounded from behind, faintly, with a hint of gunpowder: "Lingling." β
Ling Che shook her head and suddenly struggled to get up from Xiang Ke's arms, she had already agreed to Xie Junping's marriage proposal, and if she continued to indulge like this, she could only hurt more people. She smiled and shook her head, "We missed it after all." β
Xiang Ke looked at her helplessly, his dark eyes were bottomless, as if he carried too much sadness: "It's my fault that I lost you." β
Xie Junping had already walked over, smiled and grabbed Lingche's shoulder, and rushed to Ke to say hello: "Have a good trip." β
Xiang Ke ignored him, carried the suitcases into the car one by one, and glanced at Ling Che from a distance, at that moment, he seemed to have relented, and wanted to leave Xiaoqing to Ling Che like this, why sprinkle another handful of salt on her wound for no reason? But another voice told him that in this situation, even if Xiaoqing stayed, he couldn't live with Lingche, which might be even worse. He gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator, and walked away.
"Lingling, go back!" Although Xiaoqing had been gone for a long time, Lingche still stood there, refusing to leave for a long time, until Xie Junping saw her, but the word Wangfu Stone appeared in his mind.
What hell, he cursed secretly in his heart, reached out to help Lingche, and persuaded her to go back.
Ling Che ignored him, turned around, and walked straight upstairs.
As soon as Xiaoqing's things were moved, the room immediately became empty, just like Lingqing's heart.
Xiaoqing's voice was still vaguely echoing in the house, and she seemed to hear her daughter's smile and say, "Mommy, I'm hungry." β
But after that, she could never hear such a voice again.
Even the traces of her daughter's existence disappeared with Xiaoqing.
Facing the empty room, she suddenly regretted a little, she shouldn't have let Xiaoqing take away so many things, at least she should have left some, what Xiaoqing didn't like, or didn't use, at least when she missed her daughter, it could give her a little comfort.
Xie Junping gently covered Ling Che's body with a blanket, but his voice was indignant: "Xiang Ke's trick is really powerful, no wonder he can enter the prosperous world so quickly." β
Lingche was not interested in answering at all, Xiaoqing said that her father didn't know about this matter, so she was willing to believe Xiaoqing, and she was willing to believe Xiang Ke, from beginning to end, only the two of them had never hurt her or deceived her.
But why, so carelessly, she lost two of the people she once loved the most?
Xie Junping saw that Lingche was speechless, sat down a little sneeringly, and said with concern: "Lingling, Xiaoqing is gone, you have to take care." Look, do you need me to come in and accompany you? β
Ling Che looked at him indifferently, his voice full of despair: "Are you so unable to tolerate Xiaoqing?" Why do you have to drive her away? β
Xie Junping only felt a knot, his face did not change much, but a faint uneasiness surged in his heart, which stirred his mind and made him feel uneasy: "Lingling, you know, I have always loved Xiaoqing, how can I not tolerate her?" I didn't expect you to think that. β
Ling Che ignored him and continued: "The morning before yesterday, I called Mrs. Lin and said that Xiaoqing was sick and needed to be taken care of, was it you?" β
"What are you talking about? I don't understand well. Xie Junping smiled awkwardly: "Shen Ling, he has always disliked me, and Mrs. Lin listens to him the most." If it wasn't Xiang Ke, could it be that Shen Ling called the police? β
When Ling Che heard him deny it, he stopped speaking, and looked at the ceiling quietly in a daze, and after a long time, he said, "I'm going to work." β
"But you're late today, so take a day off." Xie Junping said worriedly.
Ling Che smiled slightly, and said quietly: "The thought that the person who calculated me this time may be someone close to me, and I will go crazy if I stay in this room any longer." β
"Lingling." Xie Junping's fingertips gently swept over Lingche's face, looking at her clear eyes, he still couldn't muster up the courage to kiss her after all, but smiled slightly: "Today, can I move in?" β
Lingche shook his head: "The room was messed up by me, let's talk about it later." I've been in a bad mood lately, and I might say something hurtful at any time, so let's meet again in a while. β
"Lingling, I'm your fiancΓ©." Xie Junping was a little annoyed: "No matter what you tell me, I won't be angry." It's just, you're in front of me, don't be so polite, okay? β
Lingche smiled and nodded. But her eyes were sloppy, as if Xiaoqing was gone, and even her courage to try to survive had been taken away. I don't know why, when Xie Junping was the eldest brother, she could rely on him and treat him as a relative. But since she made up her mind to take the relationship between them one step further, she found that there seemed to be no way to find the trust and tacit understanding between them in the past.
Across the Pacific Ocean, Big Flower told her that it was because she didn't love him.
Love, this word, for her, is really a luxury.
She seems to have lost the ability to love people, she just wants a peaceful life, is it just that, can't she do it?
She spent the whole day in a state of confusion, and after getting a few decimal points wrong in a row, she was forcibly sent home by Robert.
Robert completed Xiang Ke's big order, and he was in a very good mood, but he knew very well what the success of this order meant to Lingche, so today, his attitude towards Lingche was extraordinarily lenient.
After getting off work early, Lingche could only wander the streets like a jobless vagrant.
She didn't dare to go home, she didn't dare to face the empty room alone. She even wanted to call Xie Junping and tell him that he could move in tonight. But at the thought of what troubles she would face once he moved in, she retreated.
Even if she agreed to his marriage proposal, her body and mind were not ready to become Mrs. Xie.
That's probably why, they've always gotten along so awkwardly lately.
When Lingche got home, it was already dark.
She twisted the key to open the door, but she heard the opposite door open, and a crisp "Mommy" sounded from behind, and she almost burst into tears.
