The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 857 - 278: Song Qiao, I Truly Love You Now

Song Qiao raised her eyes to look at him, but instead of answering, she asked, "Lu Jingchen, why did you marry me in the first place?"

Initially, she had some doubts about what Murong Rui said, but when she saw Song Xi’s mother nervously hidden among the crowd, she was convinced that it was true.

Song’s father truly loved Song Xi’s mother. She knew that Song’s father would tell Song Xi’s mother anything, so when Lu Jingchen left with her, Song Xi’s mother hurriedly ran out. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She hadn’t called Song’s father to confirm, but seeing Lu Jingchen’s expression at the time, she was sure. There was no need for confirmation anymore.

Lu Jingchen’s face changed, and he was silent for a moment, just looking at Song Qiao without speaking.

Song Qiao didn’t continue to pressure him but gave a self-deprecating laugh. She shifted backward to increase the distance between them, then said, "I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but from your reaction, it seems like my parents really did kill your adoptive parents, didn’t they? But Lu Jingchen, I’m certain of one thing: my mother wouldn’t even harm a single ant, so how could she kill your parents?"

She paused, then turned to look out the window, her voice a bit softer. "Or is it that you married me from the beginning just to take revenge on the Song Family through me?"

"Song Qiao." The man’s face suddenly became very unpleasant. He turned her body to face him and interrupted, his voice low with a hint of anger, "I married you because you provoked me first. I know I had many thoughts when I married you, but did I ever harm you? Can you be reasonable?"

Initially, Lu Jingchen did marry her with a purpose, but gradually that purpose began to change, to the extent that later he didn’t even understand what he was doing. Marrying Song Qiao and holding the wedding came as an afterthought.

Perhaps he had truly fallen in love with Song Qiao to make so many unexpected choices.

Song Qiao lifted her eyes to look at him, her emotions suddenly stabilized, but she said, "Lu Jingchen, I want some peace. Can you let me be alone for a while?"

The man’s face looked unpleasant, but he didn’t continue to push her. They both needed time to think, especially since their wedding wasn’t over yet, and he didn’t know how matters were being handled over there. Although Lu Tianming and Xu Qian were there without any issues, his abrupt disappearance wasn’t ideal.

He murmured a response, stood up directly, and said, "Stay home and rest. I’ll deal with these matters."

Before leaving, he paused and looked at her again, saying, "Song Qiao, I truly love you now. We’re married. Those past things don’t concern you, so don’t think about divorce or leaving."

"..."

Only after Lu Jingchen left and the sound of a car engine came from outside did Song Qiao seem to lose all her strength suddenly, collapsing on the bed, and slowly curling up her body.

Lu Jingchen had been gentle and kind to her during this period, which she could see. She didn’t know if the man truly loved her, but she could tell he liked her.

And she... Hadn’t she also fallen for this man?

Suddenly, knowing so much, she was most affected. She was, at best, Lu Jingchen’s wife, and at worst, the daughter of the murderers of Lu Jingchen’s adoptive parents.

...

Not many people attended the wedding, mostly those in the circle, and the Lu Family’s status in An City was well-known. Even if people knew these matters, they only dared to discuss them privately. With Lu Tianming stepping in, everyone stayed for dinner before leaving.

Last night’s bridesmaid, Ning Wan, naturally stayed to help deal with the guests. By the time everything was nearly resolved, it was already six in the evening. Lu Jingchen was still handling some follow-up at the hotel, and Ning Wan ignored him and took Mu Shinian to sneak away to the villa to find Song Qiao.
