Lu Lingche watched as the police car disappeared into the rain, his face gradually cooling.
Does she despise him that much now?
He had specifically asked his assistant to inquire when her police statement would be finished so that he could pick her up, yet she had decided to leave with a detective?
He should not have pitied her for her abduction!
“Lingche, Miss Qiao has a detective escorting her home, so you can ease your mind! It seems she is quite popular. Even the detective she just met is willing to take her home. It must be wonderful being so pretty and having people like you naturally. Unlike me, who’s just average-looking, and only you would take care of me.”
Hearing her words, Lu Lingche felt inexplicably irritated.
Had Qiao Yin become this beautiful?
Even detectives were giving her special treatment!
“Lingche, let’s go home. I have told the servants to prepare dinner. Your favorite black pepper steak is waiting!”
Lu Lingche finally looked at her and asked indifferently, “Are you feeling better? Didn’t you say you would complete your statement at the hospital—why did you come out?”
“I didn’t want to trouble the officers, so I decided to come. My testimony is critical and will affect the kidnapper’s sentencing. They are horrible people; I want to contribute in getting them the punishment they deserve.”
Lu Lingche nodded, then spoke to two bodyguards, “Escort them home safely.
If you lose them again, you’re fired.”
The two bodyguards quickly responded, “Yes, President Lu. This time we will definitely ensure Miss Lan’s safety!”
Lan Yuyi rushed to say, “What do you mean, Lingche? Aren’t you going to escort me home?”
“There is still business at the corporation.”
Lu Lingche looked at her indifferently, “You’d better not elude your bodyguards again because you might not get so lucky next time.”
Lan Yuyi’s face stiffened, then she apologetically said, “I didn’t mean to shake off the bodyguards you provided for me. I’m just not used to having so many people following me around all the time and sometimes I just want to be alone. I’m sorry. I’ll behave better in the future and won’t cause you trouble.”
Wen Bilan quickly said, “Lingche, why are you blaming Yuyi? She’s the victim here. Do you know how scared she was being kidnapped?”
“You should comfort her, encourage her, and stay with her 24/7 to help her overcome this terrible trauma! She’s carrying your child!”
“She’s the strongest girl in the world. Despite being kidnapped, she stayed calm and cleverly negotiated with the kidnappers. It’s your fortune to marry such a girl!”
In the past, Lu Lingche would not be moved or emotional after hearing Wen Bilan’s words.
But now, he somehow thought of Qiao Yin again.
He recalled the scene of rescuing her this morning.
Her long hair flying, she stood upright in the gloomy cemetery, watching impassively as the cops charged towards her. Two kidnappers, who had intended to kill her, knelt by her side, raising their hands in surrender.
The rising sun cast golden light on her pale face, illuminating her in a way that was uniquely astonishing, making her beauty breathtaking.
At that moment, his heart had thrummed heavily.
Wen Bilan said that Lan Yuyi was strong and calm, but he had not seen it.
When he went to save her, Lan Yuyi was crying and making a fuss, as if scared out of her mind, constantly begging him to save her. It was her terrible state that made him choose to save her first.
When Qiao Yin saw him, she didn’t say a word and didn’t even shed a tear. She was eerily calm.
Wen Bilan continued to prattle on, praising her own daughter. Suddenly, Lu Lingche interrupted, “Mrs. Lan, there’s a term called killing with kindness—do you know it?”
Wen Bilan paused, taken aback: “Killing with kindness? What does that mean?”
“Well, it means the higher you praise someone, the worse they fall when they screw up. If Yuyi is your daughter and if you genuinely care about her, you should stop the incessant praise.”
After saying that, Lu Lingche turned and got into his car, leaving the police station..
