Fine, I’ll Come Clean: Miss Qiao Has Wanted to Marry Again for Ages

Lu Tingli's third-anniversary gift to Qiao Qiao was to abandon her in a burning building to die.

He carried his adopted sister out, leaving behind only these words: "I don't want to see this kind of jealousy-driven act again."

Throughout their three years of marriage, Qiao Qiao believed she'd done everything a wife should. But whenever she needed him, he always took the other side.

When Lu Yining lost her bracelet, he accused Qiao Qiao without even asking questions and made her stand for three days, until she fainted from hunger.

When Qiao Qiao had a persistent high fever, he stayed out all night to buy Lu Yining a limited-edition cake. When he came back, all he said was, "See? You're fine."

She once thought that if she tried hard enough, she could warm his heart.

But at that moment, her heart died for good.

After she was rescued, she had an abortion and asked for a divorce.

But the man tore up the agreement and snapped, "Have you had enough?"

He was convinced she was playing hard to get and didn't believe she would leave. After all, everyone knew Qiao Qiao loved him so much she'd abase herself for him.

Only after Qiao Qiao really left did Lu Tingli realize he had never understood his wife.

When they met again, Qiao Qiao was the missing heiress of the Jiang family.

The woman who once had eyes only for him was now looking at the man beside her with that same adoring gaze.

Lu Tingli grabbed her with red-rimmed eyes. "Honey, I was wrong. Can we start over?"

Qiao Qiao looked at him with scorn. "When Lu Yining frowns, you worry about her. When I miscarried, you said I was pretending. Qiao Qiao died from your favoritism, time and time again. How can we start over?"

Only then did Lu Tingli remember that Qiao Qiao was afraid of fire, yet he had abandoned her in a burning building to die. She could feel pain too, yet he had made her lose their child.

From then on, through countless days and nights, the man who had once stood above everyone else knelt humbly outside her door, asking only for her to look at him once more.
