Chapter 227: Death Valley

The snort on his cheeks was a little hot.

Qiao Qiao subconsciously dodged.

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

Qiao Qiao could clearly sense Shang Lu's mood changes.

He seemed to be in some pain.

The tip of his nose brushed against her face, and her nerves crumbled.

Shang Lu smiled bitterly and let go of her waist.

Just so reluctant to be intimate with him?

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

Qiao Qiao slowed down for half a beat, and then answered his last question:

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

Remember https://m in a second.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to be known to everyone?"

Shang Lu didn't have any expression on his face.

Cold.

But there was a wry smile in my heart.

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

"If you don't want people to know that we're divorced." Qiao Qiao didn't answer him directly, "We can go through the formalities ourselves in private." ”

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

He looked at her.

Tonight, the whole estate was bustling.

The faint light stretched the shadows of the two men.

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

Her personality is neat and neat, and she never drags mud and water.

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

Shang Lu let out another wry smile.

It was like laughing at himself.

is the richest man in Pengcheng, but he can't even handle a woman with such an ordinary identity.

The guests were bustling with activity.

The two of them were relatively silent.

There are some questions that Shang Lu didn't ask after all.

The hand that seemed to be casually copied in the trouser pocket of the suit curled up tightly.

He restrained the emotions in his heart, and said lightly, "Accompany me over there and talk to the elders." They love you a lot. ”

"Okay." Qiao Qiao responded neatly.

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

Shang Lu stood still.

He still looked at her, "You're going to walk with me like this?" ”

Qiao Qiao didn't understand what he meant.

It wasn't until he put his gaze on her hand that she understood.

Then, holding Shang Lu's arm, pretending to be a loving husband and wife, they walked to the crowd together.

The people in the Shanglu family are all very good.

She didn't know if it was because they were all very well-cultivated people, or because everyone looked at the face of her father-in-law and Shang Lu, so they accepted her at the bottom of the society so happily.

In short, everyone praised her highly.

and looked forward to her and Shang Lu having a noble son as soon as possible.

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

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

"Don't have 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 the public and the businessman.

Qiao Qiao is 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 him because Shang Lu forced her to be a full-time wife at home.

What's there to make a fuss about?

What's wrong with people giving you a rich life?

But sometimes, the more people lack something, the more they will strive for something.

There is such a thing as a sense of security, which she seriously lacks 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 is something that Shang Lu, who has lived in a wealthy family since he was a child and lived a good life without worrying about food and clothing, cannot understand it at all.

This is a hurdle between her and Shang Lu that can never be crossed.

While chatting with the elders with a smile, Qiao Qiao concealed his thoughts and did not reveal them at all.

The elders caught her and asked questions and chatted back and forth.

Shang Lu was afraid that she would be tired, so he took her hand, "I'll take Qiao Qiao to eat something." ”

Finally pulled out.

As he walked away, Qiao Qiao's hand was withdrawn from Shang Lu's palm.

The smile on Shang Lu's face also froze instantly.

Both of them have their own agendas.

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

"I've been chasing you for six years, nine months and four days, and it's a hard stone in my arms, and I can cover the temperature."

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

The aggrieved female voice behind the flowers broke the silence between Shang Lu and Qiao Qiao.

"Adong, are you still looking forward to my third brother and my sister-in-law divorcing, and you will chase my sister-in-law back?"

It was Deng Wanzhou who spoke.

Shang Lu's cousin.

Qiao Qiao was taken aback.

Since knowing the identity of the richest man in Shang Lu Pengcheng, she also learned by the way that He Qidong is in Shang's Group to maintain the security of 6G technology.

Shang Lu gave He Qidong a high annual salary.

He Qidong is now working for Shanglu.

But Qiao Qiao didn't know that Shang Lu's cousin was actually pursuing He Qidong, that is, her ex-boyfriend.

Is it so bloody?

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

Deng Wanzhou was very aggrieved: "Yes, you still have my sister-in-law in your heart, you are thinking about her, your sister-in-law is in love with my third brother and happy, what is the use of thinking about her?" ”

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

He Qidong walked away with his leg that had not yet recovered, and limped away.

Deng Wanzhou caught up......

At this time, Shang Lu behind the flowers spoke up, "Don't be surprised, Wanzhou just likes He Qidong." ”

This surprised news, Qiao Qiao still couldn't digest it.

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

Qiao Qiao did not answer immediately.

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

He Qidong's eyes when he looked at her, his reaction to her, and sometimes the pain in his eyes when she inadvertently looked at her secretly, made her vaguely aware that He Qidong had hidden feelings when he left her.

But that's all in the past.

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

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

Shang Lu: "I have checked He Qidong's life experience, he is like you, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he grew up in the same village as you. ”

Qiao Qiao: "Yes. ”

Shang Lu: "You grew up together when you were young, you can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, right?" ”

Qiao Qiao: "It's not counted, it's only officially been in love for three years since I came out to work." ”

Shang Lu: "At least we will go through hardships together." ”

Qiao Qiao: "......"

Shang Lu: "He left you back then because he had a tumor in his brain, which was malignant. He thought he wouldn't live long. ”

Tell her this to see how she reacts.

She didn't seem to react.

It's calm.

After a few seconds, he said neatly, "It's already in the past......

"Qiao Qiao, I never understand why you have to divorce me."

Now, he finally understood.

"You're a cool person by nature."

"Even a person who has been your childhood sweetheart since childhood, such a big thing happened, and you didn't have any mood swings."

He Qidong and her childhood sweethearts have experienced a lot of hardships of being abandoned by their parents together.

Let go of He Qidong, she can be so neat.

What about him?

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

No wonder when she mentioned divorce, she was so neat and neat, and she didn't drag her feet at all.

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