Chapter 975: Need Spiritual Compensation
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
Qiao Muâs eyes were slightly red. When she saw Li Yan looking at her with a dark gaze, she walked over and hugged his waist. â Why are you back so early? â
âIf I didnât come back so early, would I have been able to see you crying?â Li Yan looked at her.
Qiao Mu knew that he wouldnât come back at such a coincidence. It was not time to get off work yet, and she had just returned home for a while, yet he had already followed her back. It was obvious that the driver had reported the situation to him.
She snuggled into his embrace. â You knew about it? â
Li Yan did not deny it. He touched her and said, â What did she tell you? â
âItâs nothing.â Qiao Mu shook her head nonchalantly. It didnât matter what she said anymore. She thought about it and said, ââUncle, let Ning Tongtong off this time.â
âThe reason?â Li Yanâs expression gradually turned cold. â Is it Shu Xinyuâ¦â
Qiao Mu shook her head. â She did look for me to plead on behalf of Ning Tongtong, but I was the one who made the decision. She gave me life, so Iâll let Ning Tongtong off as repayment. We wonât owe each other anything in the future. â
She looked up at him. â This time, can you listen to me? â
Li Yan sighed. â Do you know that giving your enemy a way out is the same as being cruel to yourself? â
âNo, I know you will protect me!â Qiao Mu coquettishly wrapped her arms around his neck. â Iâll give her a life. From now on, my life is yours. You can do whatever you want with it, alright? â
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled. â Thatâs a good idea. Tell me, how should I deal with you? â
âWhy donât you marry me?â
âYouâve already promised me a long time ago.â
Qiao Mu pursed her lips. â Then punish me by scooping a bowl of chicken soup for you. Mommy made this for me. â
As she spoke, Qiao Mu slipped into the kitchen without giving Li Yan a chance to react.
As he watched Qiao Muâs back view, the smile on Li Yanâs face slowly disappeared. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he took his phone to the balcony to make a call.
The call went through and he said coldly, â Ask Chief Su to release Ning Tongtong. â
On the other end of the phone, Ling Xi was stunned. â Brother, Ning Tongtong is about to be convicted. Why did you let her go? Sister-in-lawâs suffering is over just like that?â
âJust like that? She was delusional! Spare Ning Tongtong and let Shu Xinyuâs company go bankrupt!â Didnât Shu Xinyu like to stand up for Ning Tongtong? Then he would let her have a taste of pain!
He had promised to spare Ning Tongtong, but that didnât mean he could let it go!
Previously, he was concerned about Shu Xinyuâs identity, but in the end, he realized that that woman would only bring pain to Qiao Mu!
No matter who hurt his woman, he would make them pay the price!
When Qiao Mu came out of the kitchen, she saw the figure standing on the balcony. He looked so cold that there was a layer of frost around him. She walked over and hugged him from behind.
âDid my decision make you unhappy?â
Li Yan put away his phone and turned around to hug her. â Iâve already asked the police station to let Ning Tongtong go. You know that Iâll grant all your requests, but there wonât be a next time. Iâll get someone to keep an eye on Ning Tongtong. If thereâs a next time, regardless of whether itâs in my eyes or not, Iâll make her pay for everything! â
Qiao Mu nodded. â If it happens again, I wonât let it go just like that. â
Seeing that the manâs expression had eased up, Qiao Mu tugged at him. â Alright, letâs have chicken soup. â
â I do need chicken soup, but itâs not for drinking. Itâs compensation for my soul. â Li Yan said calmly.
Spiritual compensationâ¦
Even though his words were serious, Qiao Mu still understood the meaning behind them.
She blushed and mumbled softly, â Iâll give it to you tonight. â
âAlright, deal!â
