"No, I haven't convinced my father yet..." Lu Qinghao's lips turned pale, and a trace of guilt flowed from his eyes, "I'm sorry Xinluo, I failed you."
"Oh, Mr. Lu, please don't say that. I never had any hope in you, so how can I say I let you down?"
Xinluo looked at him coldly, her bright and clear eyes showing everything, indeed there was not a trace of disappointment in her.
She never believed what he said. Without expectations, there would be no disappointment.
But this look deeply hurt Lu Qinghao.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes sad, "Xinluo, please don't say that. I... I know I was a bastard in the past, but I promise you, I am different now. You can trust me, I can tell you..."
"Lu Qinghao..." Xinluo interrupted him coldly, "I am a pregnant woman standing here, not to accompany you in the cold wind. If you stop me and all you want to say is these confessions, then I will go back."
"Xinluo, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through..." Lu Qinghao said this and was about to take off his coat.
"Don't—I don't need your stuff."
"Then you..." Lu Qinghao looked at Xinluo eagerly, looking a little pitiful.
"I'm not cold, but if you have something to say, please tell me now. I came down here to hear what you had to say, not to talk nonsense with you."
Xinluo's attitude was too resolute and too distant.
Lu Qinghao admitted that he was indeed dawdling on purpose, wanting to take this opportunity to see her more and spend more time with her.
But now, he couldn't bear to let Xinluo suffer from the cold.
"Xinluo, I didn't lie to you... I know you may not believe me, but I'm trying my best to find out for you. I don't know what Lu Huanting's trump card is yet, but I have found out that it is a recording."
Lu Qinghao looked at Xinluo with a look of unprecedented sincerity and seriousness.
Xinluo was slightly startled, "Recording, what recording?"
"I don't know the specific content yet, but what is certain is that this recording is enough to shake Lu Yuchen's position as the head of the family. I can tell you that the reason my father was shaken was because of this recording."
Xinluo narrowed her eyes, her mind racing.
Recording... What kind of recording could make the heads of other branches question Lu Yuchen's position as the head of the family
And who is talking to whom in this recording
"Xinluo, don't worry. I will continue to follow up on this matter. If Lu Huanting wants to cooperate with our family, he can't get around me. He is an old fox and is unwilling to show his true colors now, but when we really talk about cooperation, he will always give me the recording to listen to."
"When the time comes, I will immediately tell you the content of the recording."
Xinluo's thoughts were interrupted by his words.
She raised her eyes and for the first time, stared at Lu Qinghao with a confused look.
Xinluo looked at him and felt that this man was much more unfamiliar than before.
"Lu Qinghao... why are you helping me?" She and him clearly had nothing to do with each other anymore.
"Because I..." Lu Qinghao's throat suddenly felt dry.
Just now, he almost couldn't help but express his love.
But, he knew that he couldn't... He was no longer qualified to be liked by Xinluo, nor was he qualified to express his love to her.
"I... I just feel guilty... Just think of it as, give me a chance to make it up to you."
After Lu Qinghao said this, he saw that the defensiveness in Xinluo's eyes had obviously weakened a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
That's it.
This is fine...
As long as Xinluo could temporarily accept his approach, he would be satisfied.
