Chapter 975: Need Spiritual Compensation
“If I didn’t come back so early, would I have been able to see you crying?” Li Yan looked at her.
Qiao Mu knew that he wouldn’t 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. ” You knew about it? ”
Li Yan did not deny it. He touched her and said, ” What did she tell you? ”
“It’s nothing.” Qiao Mu shook her head nonchalantly. It didn’t matter what she said anymore. She thought about it and said, “”Uncle, let Ning Tongtong off this time.”
“The reason?” Li Yan’s expression gradually turned cold. ” Is it Shu Xinyu…”
Qiao Mu shook her head. ” 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 I’ll let Ning Tongtong off as repayment. We won’t owe each other anything in the future. ”
She looked up at him. ” This time, can you listen to me? ”
Li Yan sighed. ” Do you know that giving your enemy a way out is the same as being cruel to yourself? ”
“No, I know you will protect me!” Qiao Mu coquettishly wrapped her arms around his neck. ” I’ll give her a life. From now on, my life is yours. You can do whatever you want with it, alright? ”
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled. ” That’s a good idea. Tell me, how should I deal with you? ”
“Why don’t you marry me?”
“You’ve already promised me a long time ago.”
Qiao Mu pursed her lips. ” Then punish me by scooping a bowl of chicken soup for you. Mommy made this for me. ”
As she spoke, Qiao Mu slipped into the kitchen without giving Li Yan a chance to react.
As he watched Qiao Mu’s back view, the smile on Li Yan’s 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, ” Ask Chief Su to release Ning Tongtong. ”
On the other end of the phone, Ling Xi was stunned. ” Brother, Ning Tongtong is about to be convicted. Why did you let her go? Sister-in-law’s suffering is over just like that?”
“Just like that? She was delusional! Spare Ning Tongtong and let Shu Xinyu’s company go bankrupt!” Didn’t 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 didn’t mean he could let it go!
Previously, he was concerned about Shu Xinyu’s 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.
“Did my decision make you unhappy?”
Li Yan put away his phone and turned around to hug her. ” I’ve already asked the police station to let Ning Tongtong go. You know that I’ll grant all your requests, but there won’t be a next time. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on Ning Tongtong. If there’s a next time, regardless of whether it’s in my eyes or not, I’ll make her pay for everything! ”
Qiao Mu nodded. ” If it happens again, I won’t let it go just like that. ”
Seeing that the man’s expression had eased up, Qiao Mu tugged at him. ” Alright, let’s have chicken soup. ”
” I do need chicken soup, but it’s not for drinking. It’s compensation for my soul. ” Li Yan said calmly.
Spiritual compensation…
Even though his words were serious, Qiao Mu still understood the meaning behind them.
She blushed and mumbled softly, ” I’ll give it to you tonight. ”
“Alright, deal!”
