When she saw him suddenly freeze for a moment, she didn't overthink it, and her lips formed a mocking curve. Without giving Lu Moqing another glance, she walked out the door.
Lu Moqing didn't know why, but at this moment, his heart felt suffocated and extremely uncomfortable, even feeling a faint ache lingering within.
The next second, he abruptly stood up from the sofa and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching Qiao Xu's car slowly exit the villa gates.
Only when the taillights of the car gradually disappeared from his sight, leaving no trace of light, did Lu Moqing look away.
Putting his hand on the slightly aching spot in his chest, he closed his eyes, his mind filled with the serene image of Qiao Xu speaking to him earlier, making his heart feel even more suffocated.
"A one-sided love?"
His tightly shut eyes slowly opened, and staring at the quiet night, Lu Moqing's lips curved into a mocking, cold smile.
"Qiao Xu, during these three years, were you really just one-sidedly in love?"
If she really had sincere feelings for him, why did that year…
A cloud of gloom quickly flashed across the depths of Lu Moqing's eyes, but soon, he suppressed it again.
***
Standing in front of Lu's Building, Qiao Xu looked up at the golden, shimmering words "Lu Group," tightly clutching the papers in her hand as she walked inside.
"Hello, is Assistant Jiang here?"
She walked to the receptionist and asked politely.
The receptionist, being the face of the Lu's, maintained their consistent politeness and smile despite the boredom in their eyes when looking at Qiao Xu.
"Do you have an appointment?"
Assistant Jiang was, after all, President Lu's personal assistant; many people wanted to get close to him.
Qiao Xu noticed the hostility and disdain in the receptionist's eyes but didn't mind. She just gave a faint smile and shook her head, "No."
"I'm sorry, without an appointment, you'll have to wait over there for a while."
The receptionist pointed to the seats in the waiting area with a smile, showing no sign of calling upstairs and implicitly rejected Qiao Xu.
"Alright."
She nodded with good temper and turned to walk towards the resting area when a surprised voice came from behind, filled with respect.
"Madam."
When Jiang Hao came out of the elevator, he saw that familiar figure turning around from afar and subconsciously called out.
Qiao Xu turned her head, and Jiang Hao had already jogged up to her.
"Madam, are you here to see the President? He's in a meeting right now, or..."
"No, I'm here to see you."
Qiao Xu simply interrupted Jiang Hao's words and handed him the paper.
"Please pass this to Lu Moqing and ask him to sign it when he has time."
She knew that, if not for his grandmother, Grandma Lu, forcing him, Lu Moqing would not have wanted to marry her from the beginning.
This time, signing the divorce papers, he would be very relieved and happy, right?
Without waiting for Jiang Hao to react, Qiao Xu had already left, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off her body after putting an end to their three-year-long marriage.
Jiang Hao stared dumbfoundedly at the obvious words "Divorce Agreement" in his hand, his temples throbbing in pain.
Was Madam giving him a difficult task?
Did she not know that she'd thrown him a hot potato, so hot that he couldn't even catch it?!!!
And that receptionist had also been stunned by Jiang Hao's address just now.
Madam?
President's wife?
Did the President get married?
But how come there was not a single piece of news about the President getting married?
