Chapter 878: Chapter 878: Lu Lingche, Stop Pretending!

“Boyfriend?”

Lu Lingche’s expression didn’t waver in the slightest, “Where did you get a boyfriend? I see you almost every day; how could I not know if you had a boyfriend? You think I’d believe that you’re using a non-existent boyfriend to drive me away? Do you think I’d fall for that?”

“I just got one, and even if you see me every day, so what? Would I still report to you if I had a boyfriend? I simply never mentioned it because I was afraid you’d target him.”

Lu Lingche obviously didn’t believe her. He reached out and touched her face while the cold emanating from his body dissipated, “Enough with the lies. I’m not that dumb to be fooled by you so easily.”

Qiao Yin pushed his hand away, turned over, and now with her back to him, she closed her eyes, “You’re not that smart either. I wasn’t lying; it’s true.”

Seeing her turn her back to him and fearing she might be uncomfortable, Lu Lingche eventually let go of her hand.

He pulled the quilt over her and tucked her hands in as well before sitting down on the sofa nearby.

Rain had started falling outside at some unknown time. Lu Lingche glanced at the drizzle outside and then his gaze settled on Qiao Yin, lingering without moving away.

The light grew worse, making Qiao Yin’s face invisible. All he could see was a lump under the quilt.

Yet, for some reason, he felt inexplicably at peace.

To this day, he would still be haunted by nightmares at night. He would dream over and over again of the scene where Qiao Yin was being killed by kidnappers at the edge of the grave.

It was only when she was by his side that he would not have that nightmare that left him with a heartache.

Tonight’s scene was so similar to the one from the night he proposed divorce and went to accompany Lan Yuyi, yet his emotions were completely different.

When he was with Lan Yuyi, he was unwilling because she had coerced him by using his brother’s kidnapping.

Being with Qiao Yin, on the other hand, was something he did willingly, although it was probably Qiao Yin who was against it.

After sitting idly for an hour, he eventually couldn’t resist and went to check on her beside the bed.

She had fallen asleep, her breathing even, seemingly sleeping sweetly, oblivious to his torment and pain.

He bent down and kissed her cheek, whispering very softly, “I’m sorry; I won’t leave you alone again in the future.”

Qiao Yin was deep asleep, hearing nothing, but she was startled when she woke up the next day.

Because Lu Lingche was sleeping beside her, and somehow, during the night, she had wrapped her arms around his waist and fallen asleep in his embrace.

Just as she was about to move, Lu Lingche tightened his arms, trapping her, “Awake? You sleep like a koala, holding on to me without letting go.”

Qiao Yin’s face flushed red with embarrassment. She didn’t know if Lu Lingche was telling the truth, but she indeed used to have a habit of holding him while sleeping, clinging to him every night because she liked him too much, refusing to let go even in her dreams.

She thought that now she didn’t like him anymore, that habit would be gone.

Could it be that it hadn’t changed?

She hastily withdrew her arms, “Lu Lingche, don’t go too far! I’ve already told you I have a boyfriend now, so why are you still sleeping in my bed?”

“You don’t have a boyfriend. If you did, it would definitely be me.”

Qiao Yin was somewhat annoyed, “Of course it wouldn’t be you! Why didn’t you leave last night? What if my grandmother saw you sleeping here? If she did, not only would you get scolded, but I’d get scolded too, you know that? My grandmother would never allow me to get back together with you. Seeing me sleeping alongside you, she’d be both heartbroken and angry! I don’t want to upset her!”

Saying that, she struggled fiercely to leave Lu Lingche’s embrace. As she wasn’t as strong as he was, she gave him a kick and bit him before finally breaking free.

She rolled out of bed and when she turned back, she saw Lu Lingche clutching his body in pain, his face white.

Only then did Qiao Yin realize where her kick had landed, “Does it hurt? I didn’t kick all that hard, did I? Hey, Lu Lingche, stop pretending!”
