The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 120: Chapter 48: We Aren’t Going to Live Together After Marriage, Are We?

Lu Jingchen merely narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, then resumed composure and picked up the tea that the waiter had just brought. He poured a cup for Song Qiao and one for himself before speaking calmly, "I currently have no plans for a divorce; I have made it clear before, I, Lu Jingchen, do not wish to bear the title of a twice-married man!"

Song Qiao was utterly dumbstruck by Lu Jingchen’s remark, unable to find a single word to retort!

Lu Jingchen glanced indifferently at Song Qiao, who was biting her lip, clearly at a loss for words, and then continued, "I need a wife, and you just happen to be suitable. Besides, you also need a husband to fend off that so-called sister and ex-boyfriend of yours. Isn’t this just perfect? Or do you actually feel, deep down, that I’m not worthy of you?"

As the man spoke, his gaze fixed on the profile of Song Qiao’s face. Due to the difference in height, he had to lower his head, and given that Song Qiao was wearing a V-neck outfit today, he could also perfectly see her delicate clavicle, which made him involuntarily deepen his gaze!

Even without looking up, Song Qiao could still feel the intense gaze of the man. She tried to keep her expression as normal as possible, but she didn’t know whether it was his words or his scorching gaze that caused her ears to unconsciously start feeling very hot, so much so that even though she couldn’t see them, she could imagine them being very red!

It took a while for Song Qiao to find her voice, "It’s not that I think marrying you is beneath me, it’s just that suddenly getting married has made it difficult for me to adapt to being a married woman, I think I need some time to adjust!"

Ultimately, she couldn’t find any other words to refute the man’s statement, so she had to come up with an excuse!

She was not the naive and sweet type, so she immediately understood that since this man could come up with so many excuses to refuse her divorce on the spot, she also realized that Lu Jingchen’s thoughts were completely opposite to hers!

Now, having thought it through herself, she came to realize that marrying Lu Jingchen is actually not a loss for her; in fact, it is quite a gain!

"Oh, is that so?" Being a man who had been through numerous trials, how could he not know what was on Song Qiao’s mind, but right now he didn’t reveal it, and instead, after uttering these meaningful words, he withdrew his gaze from Song Qiao and shifted the topic, "I happen to be going on a business trip for the next few days. You can take this time to adapt to the fact that you’re married. When I come back, we can talk in detail about our future together!"

"We’re not going to live together after we’re married, are we?"

Seeing the girl in front of him looking guarded, Lu Jingchen curved his lips into a slight smile, "If you want to live with me, I don’t mind. I live alone, and it just so happens that I have no one to accompany me..."

For so many years, it has always been just him living alone, never having thought about living with someone else, as he has severe sophobia and prefers the quiet solitude of living alone!

However... now looking at Song Qiao in front of him, upon reflection, having this woman in his villa in the future wouldn’t be too inappropriate, would it?

"No need, I don’t have that intention yet!" Song Qiao immediately waved her hand in refusal before Lu Jingchen could finish speaking!
