Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Do You Have Anything Else in Your Mind Besides Sleep?
Qiao Yin frowned, “What are you doing? Are you planning to hold me captive?”
“Not necessarily a bad idea, as long as you stay by my side.”
“If you dare to do so, I will fight you tooth and nail. This is not love, you’re just satisfying your need for control!”
Lu Lingche was not angered by her condemnation.
He gently embraced her once more, whispering in her ear, “I love you, Qiao Yin. Yes, I seek control, but only over you and for no other reason than my love for you.”
Qiao Yin was taken aback by his unexpected confession.
She stood there, dazed for a moment, then responded, “Stop deceiving me, and most importantly yourself. You don’t love anyone. If you have any care or concern for anyone, it would only be for your elder brother.”
Lu Lingche chuckled, kissed her cheek, and breathed into her ear, “Are you even jealous of my brother?”
Qiao Yin’s ear tingled from his breath, so she had to move aside to avoid his proximity.
“I am not, I am only stating a fact.”
“My brother is my brother, and you are you. Both are important to me in different ways. I am self-aware. Haven’t I refrained from comparing myself to your grandmother?”
Qiao Yin stared at him, “How dare you compare yourself to my grandmother?”
“I was not comparing. Stop twisting my words! I won’t indulge in such comparisons, and you should not either.”
In reality, Qiao Yin harbored no jealousy towards Lu Shengqing.
He offered endless companionship and warmth, during Lu Lingche’s most lonely and cold childhood. His respect and care for Shengqing was well deserved.
These instances proved that Lu Lingche was not truly cold-hearted. He also knew who cared for him, and would repay them.
“Enough comparisons, let go of your hands. Take me home.”
“But I don’t want to let go, I want to hold you all night.”
“Well, you can contemplate that here while I drive myself home.”
As she said that, she tried to push his arm away and leave the car.
But Lu Lingche did not let go.
He spoke softly and lowly, “Just come to my place. Let’s sleep together.”
Qiao Yin blushed with embarrassment and irritation, “Lu Lingche! Do you ever think about anything besides sleep? I told you, you don’t love me, you’re just desperate for a woman to vent your frustrations!”
“You’re accusing me wrongly again. If I was only seeking physical satisfaction, would I genuinely beg you like this? You don’t even know how hard you are to please, you’re even brave enough to slap me when you’re angry. Have I touched a single hair on your head the entire time we have known each other? Where is your conscience, huh?”
“Well, isn’t that what you deserve? Only if you show conscience, will I show mine. Why should I bother about being conscientious when all you do is take advantage of it?”
“Alright, I take the blame. Everything is my fault. You’re my ancestor.”
Qiao Yin could not help but laugh at his ridiculous remark, “Stop talking nonsense, who is your ancestor? I would rather call old Madam my grandma!”
Seeing her laughter, Lu Lingche’s expression relaxed, and he lightly teased, “We can each respect our own terms. You can call old Madam ‘grandma,’ and I can call you my ‘ancestor.’ There are no conflicts there.”
Qiao Yin felt Lu Lingche was becoming increasingly shameless. She pushed him and said, “Stop messing around. Drive the car, I want to go home.”
“Yes, ancestor. I’ll take you home right away.”
Lu Lingche tried to touch her face, but seeing her evade him with a displeased look, he withdrew his hand reluctantly and turned to the driver’s seat.
It seemed he hadn’t quite succeeded in appeasing her yet. He couldn’t even touch her face.
He began to contemplate whether he should ask Xie Xingchen to teach him the secret to winning a girl’s heart.
He admittedly lacked experience in this area.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Qiao Yin’s residential block.
After Lu Lingche delivered her to the entrance and watched the light in her second-floor room turn on, he left.
The bodyguard, Yu Fei, came to pick him up.
As soon as he got in the car and instructed the bodyguard to drive home, his phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and it was a call from Lu Yanxi.
Already knowing what she wanted, he answered the call detachedly.
Lu Yanxi’s voice, tinged with a trace of tears, came from the phone, “Second Brother, I… I need to ask a favor of you.”
