After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.

Chapter 173 Yue Tong, I'm sorry

He paused, then continued, "Yuantong, I just want to tell you that I've always loved you, ever since college. I was heartbroken when you chose Qin Reng, but I respected your choice."

"Now that you and Qin Reng are divorced, I hope you can give me a chance to take good care of you, okay?"

Yu Yuetong felt a mix of emotions as she listened to Mo Qingcheng's affectionate words.

She could feel Mo Qingcheng's love for her, but...

"Qingcheng, I can't give you an answer right now." She bit her lip and said softly, "I need time to think about it."

Mo Qingcheng nodded, indicating his understanding: "It's okay, I can wait, I'll wait as long as it takes."

He stood up, walked to Yu Yuetong, and gently embraced her: "Yuetong, whatever decision you make, I will support you."

Yu Yuetong leaned against Mo Qingcheng's chest, feeling his warm embrace, but her heart was filled with even more confusion.

She didn't know where to go or what her feelings for Mo Qingcheng were.

……

Meanwhile, Qin Reng returned to his villa, looking utterly dejected.

As soon as I entered, I saw Qin's mother, Han Shuang, sitting in the living room, waiting anxiously.

"Aren, you're finally back!" Upon seeing Qin Ren, Han Shuang quickly stood up and greeted him. "How is it? Where's Yue Tong? Did she come back with you?"

Qin Reng didn't speak, but simply shook his head silently.

"What?" Han Shuang looked at Qin Reng in disbelief. "What do you mean? Does Yue Tong... not want to come back with you?"

Qin Reng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said weakly, "Mom, we're divorced."

"Divorce?!" Han Shuang exclaimed in surprise, her bag falling to the ground with a thud.

She stared at Qin Reng in disbelief, as if she had heard something incredible: "This... how is this possible? You two were fine just a few days ago, how could you suddenly get a divorce?"

Qin Reng did not answer, but simply sat down on the sofa helplessly and buried his head in his hands.

Seeing his appearance, Han Shuang's heart tightened. She quickly sat down beside him, gently patted his shoulder, and asked softly, "Aren, what happened? Tell Mom, okay?"

Qin Reng raised his head and looked at Han Shuang, his eyes filled with pain and self-blame: "Mom, I'm sorry to Yue Tong. I pushed her away with my own hands."

He told Han Shuang what had happened, including his argument with Yu Yuetong and the appearance of Mo Qingcheng.

"How could this be..." Han Shuang was stunned after hearing Qin Reng's story.

She never expected things to turn out this way.

"Aren, you..." She wanted to comfort Qin Ren, but didn't know what to say.

Qin Reng gave a bitter smile and said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I'll go and beg Yue Tong to forgive me right now and ask her to remarry me!"

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Aren, calm down!" Han Shuang quickly pulled him back. "Going to Yue Tong now will only make her dislike you more!"

Qin Reng stopped and turned to look at Han Shuang, his eyes filled with helplessness: "Then... what should I do?"

Han Shuang pondered for a moment and said, "Your most important task now is to figure out why Yue Tong wants a divorce from you."

"Is it because of Mo Qingcheng's appearance, or because you weren't good enough to her before?"

Qin Reng was stunned; he had never thought about this question before.

Yes, why did Yu Yuetong want to divorce him?

Was it because of Mo Qingcheng, or because of him?

……

Han Shuang's words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through the thick fog of confusion in Qin Reng's heart. Yes, he had been blaming himself, thinking about how to make amends, but he had never seriously considered Yu Yuetong's true feelings.

"Mom, you're right. I should figure out what Yuetong is thinking first," Qin Reng murmured to himself, his tone becoming more determined. "I can't be as self-righteous as before."

He stood up, his eyes shining with determination: "Mom, thank you, I know what to do."

Han Shuang looked at her son with relief, her eyes filled with hope. She believed that as long as Qin Reng was willing to put in the effort, he would definitely be able to win back Yu Yuetong's heart.

Qin Reng didn't go home. Instead, he drove to Yu Yuetong's apartment building. Sitting in the car, he looked up at the familiar window above, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew that going up to Yu Yuetong now was not a wise choice, but he couldn't control his urge to see her.

"Forget it, I'll just wait here. What if she comes down?" Qin Reng muttered to himself, finding a reason to stay.

Time passed by, night fell, and the city lights came on, but Yu Yuetong's apartment window remained dark.

Qin Reng's heart sank. Could it be that she really wasn't home?

Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly heard footsteps in the stairwell. He looked up sharply and saw Yu Yuetong's figure appear at the entrance of the stairwell.

She wore a loose white T-shirt and light blue jeans, her long black hair casually draped over her shoulders, and although she looked a little tired, it couldn't hide her elegant and refined temperament.

Qin Reng's heart suddenly raced. He pushed open the car door and strode towards Yu Yuetong.

"Yuetong!" he called out to her, his voice trembling slightly.

Yu Yuetong stopped and turned around. When she saw Qin Reng standing in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Why are you here?" Her tone was indifferent, as if she were talking to a stranger.

"Yue Tong, I..." Qin Reng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to say anything, I already know everything." Yu Yuetong interrupted him, her tone laced with sarcasm. "President Qin is really busy with important matters, only remembering to care about me after the divorce?"

Qin Reng felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart. He wanted to explain, but found that any explanation would seem pale and powerless.

"Yuetong, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you, I shouldn't have argued with you, and I especially shouldn't have..."

"Enough!" Yu Yuetong interrupted him again, her tone filled with disgust. "Qin Reng, we're over. You don't need to pretend anymore!"

She turned around, ready to leave.

"Yuetong, let me explain, things aren't what you think..." Qin Reng grabbed her wrist, his voice filled with anxiety.

"Let go!" Yu Yuetong forcefully shook off his hand, her eyes filled with anger. "Qin Reng, what exactly do you want? I've already made myself clear, it's over between us!"

"No, Yuetong, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to tell you that I love you!" Qin Reng took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "I've always loved you. I fell in love with you the moment we got married!"

Yu Yuetong was stunned. She looked at Qin Reng in disbelief, as if she were seeing him for the first time.
