The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 923 - 329: Lu Jingchen Agrees to Divorce

She tried hard to steady herself, but still ended up colliding directly with the table. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and clutched her stomach with her hand, but when her hand hit the edge of the table, it hurt so much that she couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. The impact was so strong that she not only felt pain in her hand and arm but also experienced some discomfort in her stomach.

When Lu Jingchen snapped out of it, he saw Song Qiao standing there pale and bent over. His face immediately changed, his body instinctively leaning forward to see where she might be hurt. But the contents of the paper in the study kept replaying in his mind, and his body suddenly stopped, forcing down the worry in his heart.

At this moment, the hospital room door was opened once more, and a tall and upright figure rushed in from outside, striding directly to Song Qiao’s side. A voice, concerned yet laced with worry, sounded immediately, "Qiaoqiao, are you okay?"

The person who came was none other than Chu Munan.

Chu Munan had just bought some fruit with Mu Shinian and was approaching the room when he saw Lu Jingchen push Song Qiao into the table. The fruit was dropped to the floor in shock. Without a word, he barged in without even knocking.

Song Qiao’s face was a bit pale, probably due to her concern for the child in her belly. Although there was a hint of repressed pain on her little face, she instinctively shook her head upon hearing Chu Munan’s words.

Chu Munan held Song Qiao’s shoulders, and since Song Qiao’s legs seemed a bit weak, she leaned directly against Chu Munan.

And this scene, when seen by Lu Jingchen, felt incredibly glaring.

Without waiting for Song Qiao and Chu Munan to speak, Lu Jingchen had already opened his lips slightly, his tone seemingly tinged with sarcasm, "Song Qiao, haven’t you always wanted a divorce? Fine, since that’s the case, I now agree with you, lest you say that I’m obstructing the two of you from being together."

The cold and mocking words struck Song Qiao’s heart one by one, causing her to widen her eyes suddenly. She instinctively glanced at the man half-lying on the hospital bed, only to meet his sarcastic gaze, making her face turn pale instantly.

Equally incredulous at Lu Jingchen’s sudden mention of divorce were Mu Shinian, who had just walked into the room, and Chu Munan, who was supporting Song Qiao to prevent her fall.

The air was filled with silence, and for a moment, no one spoke, almost allowing them to hear each other’s breathing.

Chu Munan was the first to react, showing a cold smile on his face, and directly addressing Lu Jingchen, "Lu Jingchen, one day you’ll regret today’s decision."

After speaking, he immediately picked up Song Qiao, who seemed not to have responded yet, in his arms and swiftly headed toward the door out of concern for her physical condition. Passing by Mu Shinian, he said, "Your cousin seems to be injured; we should see a doctor first."

Mu Shinian, who had been deeply shocked by his cousin-in-law’s decision, snapped back to reality upon hearing Chu Munan’s words. His slightly reddened eyes fluttered shut, and he silently turned to open the hospital door. After Chu Munan carried Song Qiao out, he continued to follow without making a sound.

Lu Jingchen, half-lying on the hospital bed, watched Chu Munan carrying Song Qiao out of the room. His deep, dark eyes suddenly seemed to spill ink, filled with the impulse to separate them and take Song Qiao back, but he managed to suppress it in the end.

Silence fell over the hospital room once again. The incredibly handsome man sat pale on the bed, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his jaw tightly clenched, his face appearing gloomy, exuding a cold aura.

After an indeterminate length of time, the man in the hospital room seemed to react, flinging his hand and sending the newly replaced items provided by the hospital crashing to the floor again, producing a harsh, grating sound.

...

Song Qiao was cradled in Chu Munan’s embrace, remaining silent. Even when they finally reached the doctor to treat her wound, she stayed mute, appearing like someone who had lost their soul, her eyes empty.

Chu Munan had used the Mu Family’s driver, who had brought them here. Though reluctant, Mu Shinian sat in the front passenger seat. Seeing his cousin’s condition, he knew he couldn’t help, so he obediently sat in front, occasionally turning to check the back.

The driver, sitting in the driver’s seat, looked worriedly at Song Qiao. Unable to hold back, he asked Chu Munan, sitting beside Song Qiao, "Mr. Chu, what happened to our young lady?"

He hadn’t gone up with Chu Munan and the others to see Lu Jingchen, so he didn’t know what had happened. But seeing their young lady’s bandaged hand was a shock to him. Thankfully, Chu Munan assured him that it was just a minor injury with no major issues.

But looking at their young lady’s state now, something was clearly wrong.

Chu Munan’s gaze fell on Song Qiao, furrowing his brows. He told the driver, "Uncle Yang, it’s nothing. Just drive; we’re heading back first."

Though still worried, the driver started the car.

Once the car started, Chu Munan sighed, pulling Song Qiao’s head onto his chest, and gently said, "Song Qiao, if you want to cry, don’t hold back. Just cry; I won’t laugh at you."

Initially, Song Qiao didn’t react, but Chu Munan soon felt his shirt becoming damp, even feeling a burning sensation. He then realized that Song Qiao, whom he had pressed against his chest, had started trembling and sobbing silently.

For some reason, looking at Song Qiao like this, Chu Munan suddenly recalled a phrase he’d once seen online, stating, "Those who cry silently are truly sad."

This memory made him embrace Song Qiao even tighter, understanding her deep distress over Song Qiao’s noodles and the need for release.
