Chapter 501

Even he himself was somewhat shocked.

The woman before him made it easy for him to lose all restraint while doing such things, and today, she had driven him into an even more uncontrollable state, one from which he could not calm down for a long time.

After it ended, Shu Xia hid in the bathroom.

During breakfast, Shu Xia could not bring herself to look at Qiao Muting.

After quickly finishing her breakfast, she grabbed her bag and said to Qiao Muting, "I'm heading to work now."

"I'll drive you," Qiao Muting suddenly said.

His voice still held a low hoarseness from the madness of the early morning.

Deep and sexy.

Shu Xia's heart trembled, "No need, I'll just drive myself."

"Can your feet still press the gas pedal?" Qiao Muting asked with a smile.

Shu Xia had only taken two steps, and those two steps felt like walking on cotton; she turned back and glared at Qiao Muting, "It's all your fault!"

Not doing proper things early in the morning!

"That's why I'm actively taking responsibility; give me three minutes," Qiao Muting said, his tone filled with unconcealable pleasure.

A few minutes later, Shu Xia sat in Qiao Muting's car.

The driver had been waiting outside for a long time.

Fortunately, with the driver there, Shu Xia was spared the awkwardness of being alone with Qiao Muting.

However, after getting into the car, Qiao Muting held her hand tightly.

Their fingers were interlaced.

His palms were slightly warm, while hers were a bit cold, but they were gradually warmed by his body temperature.

Shu Xia's heart had been beating very fast the whole time.

She felt that some emotions were gradually becoming uncontrollable, more and more uncontrollable.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Qiao Muting asked in a low voice, his cold, stern brows slightly furrowed.

Shu Xia looked at him.

Although he spoke words of concern, the noble indifference between his brows seemed to be writing the word "distance" stroke by stroke.

Her rapidly beating heart felt as if it had suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"It's your hands that are too hot," she explained.

Qiao Muting then covered her two hands with his other hand.

This posture forced Shu Xia to lean her entire body into Qiao Muting's embrace.

His chest was as hot as his palms.

It felt as if being held by him allowed her to experience the warmth of being carefully cherished.

There was a kind of illusion that he had fallen in love with her.

Shu Xia lowered her long lashes, remaining silent.

Seeing that Shu Xia didn't say anything more, Qiao Muting assumed she was too tired from the morning, so he didn't speak further, but he still held Shu Xia a little tighter.

Seeing this scene, the driver who was driving thought with a smile: The relationship between Qiao and his wife is visibly getting better and better; I've never seen Qiao show this much care and consideration for any woman before.

If Zhang Tezhu saw this, he certainly wouldn't be able to keep his expression as unchanged as he is now.

——

After two days of fermentation, the matter of the Lin Family was known to everyone.

Just a moment ago, Lin Bin announced the bankruptcy of the Lin Group.

Along with the bankruptcy, they had to face massive debts, and all sorts of creditors were showing up at their door.

The Lin Family was being liquidated for all their various assets.

Just as Lin Bin announced the bankruptcy, the police invited Lin Bin to assist with an investigation; this caused a huge stir, and the already chaotic Lin Family became even more chaotic.

Outside the Lin Family villa, there were many people gathered, including reporters, company employees, and creditors.

Lin Bin was not there; only Lin Qi, Lin Xu, and Lin Miao were in the house, along with Chen Xiuyue, who was paralyzed in bed, and the household servants had gone on strike and stopped coming because they hadn't been paid.
