Hence, she explained patiently, "… I didn't do it on purpose."
"You didn't do it on purpose?"
"…"
Xin Yu took a deep breath and tried her best to appease the man. She said softly, "… I know I shouldn't have lied to you. Actually … Can we talk about it when we get back? I can explain it to you. "
Qin Fangang nodded. He didn't have the habit of standing on the road and talking to people. He really wanted the whole world to know that this woman was his, Qin Fangang's. However, he was still a little afraid of her.
"Get in the car."
The chauffeur had been waiting in the car the whole time. When he saw Qin Fangang and Xin Yu walking over, he hurriedly opened the car door and got out. He happened to hear Qin Fangang instructing him, "Go back. I'll drive the car myself."
The chauffeur nodded respectfully. Qin Fangang stuffed Xin Yu into the front passenger seat. He walked around the front of the car and got into the car.
Qin Fangang was obviously angry and jealous. He didn't say anything, but the car sped off. Xin Yu was conflicted the whole way. How should she explain it to him later?
Should she tell him the truth?
Or … should she avoid the main point and dwell on the trivial?
Actually, she didn't need to tell him too much about what she wanted to talk to Lu Yihan about. Deep down, she knew that a man as smart as Qin Fangang couldn't possibly be clueless. However, she also knew that he was only angry about two things —
She had lied to him. She had directly denied her relationship with him in front of Lu Yihan. She had cleared her name completely.
…
So, under these circumstances, how was she going to explain it?
What a headache. Xin Yu propped her elbow against the car window. Her slender fingers gently massaged her temples. She frowned as she seriously considered this problem. She had never tried to explain it to a man, and under such circumstances … Should she ask Chen Chen?
B City, prison.
It was another day of relief. The weather was still very good. Prisoners in prison uniforms squatted on the ground in groups of twos and threes. Some of them had good relationships with each other and would occasionally exchange a few words with each other. Some of them were looking at the city wall alone, which was as tall as seven or eight people. The light in their eyes was filled with longing.
He longed to be able to go out.
In the same spot, the two women were squatting there. One of them was hugging her knees, while the other was holding a tree branch and drawing on the ground.
"… Ahem, there are still three days left. I'm going out. I've already made some connections outside. Do you really not need my help? Sigh, this is really terrible. Just take it as my kindness overflowing. I really can't bear to see a woman like you being locked up here for the rest of your life. If there's anything you want me to help with, tell me now. This is your last chance. "
The woman beside him didn't seem to have much of a reaction.
The woman who spoke was more or less helpless. She really wanted to help her. After all, for the past few years, as long as they were out for relief, the two of them would always squat together. Although they didn't have much interaction, and in such a cold and heartless place, the so-called sympathy was the least needed emotion. However, the human heart was still made of flesh. She didn't know why, but every time she saw the woman squatting there without a word, she always felt that this scrawny woman was emitting a thick aura of resentment. She was never willing to open her mouth to speak, but every minute and second she was shouting — how wronged she was.
Perhaps it was because she had been locked up here for so many years that she could understand that living in such a world was like living in hell.
She was probably really overflowing with sympathy, right?
…
However, she also felt that her kindness had been treated as ill intent. Clearly, this woman didn't appreciate it.
Suppressing the desire to sigh, she looked at the woman beside her who still didn't move and shook her head. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly glanced at the woman beside her from the corner of her eyes. She was writing a word on the ground.
She suddenly paused in her actions.
All these years, he had seen her scribbling on the ground every day, but this was the first time he had seen her write a word properly.
Cold …
It was a cold word.
The woman frowned and looked at the woman beside her in surprise. She still didn't say anything, but she quickly erased the word "Leng" in front of her. Then, she wrote the word "Dong".
At this moment, the woman finally understood. She was probably writing a person's name — Leng Dong?
The woman coughed softly and looked around carefully. Recently, whenever they were out for relief, the prison guards weren't around them, so they were safe. However, she was obviously very cautious. Even if there were no prison guards around, she quickly crossed out the word "Dong" and wrote "Ming".
— — Leng Dongming?
She didn't see wrongly, right? Leng Dongming?
…
Who was this?
Just as this thought flashed through the woman's mind, the woman beside her with a thin branch drew the name of a city — — City D.
…
Then she raised her head. This was the first time this woman, after being with her for so many years after entering this prison, truly looked at her seriously. She furrowed her brows. The woman in front of her with a yellowish complexion looked deeply into her eyes. There was almost no light in those eyes, but it seemed to be transmitting a message of desire to her.
This time, the woman finally knew that she wasn't really mute. She probably didn't dare to speak.
She must be carrying an unspeakable burden. That was why she was locked up here for five years. Perhaps, she wouldn't have a chance to get out in this lifetime.
…
Seeing that she quickly lowered her head again, the thin branch quickly wrote a line of words on the ground and then quickly erased it.
— — Tell him that his wife is still alive.
City D.
When Qin Fangang brought Xin Yu back to his apartment, it was already around seven o 'clock. It was rush hour when they just came back, so there was a bit of traffic on the road. The two of them were silent the whole way. Xin Yu only felt that the temperature in the small car was low. After sitting for a long time, her emotions seemed to have frozen.
This was the first time that Qin Fangang didn't say a word to her for almost 60 minutes in the same space as her.
Xin Yu's chest felt stuffy. So, this was what it felt like to be ignored and subjected to emotional abuse. She wanted to talk to him, but every time the words came to her mouth, she became timid when she saw his cold and tense side profile.
It was probably because he had never treated her like this before. She felt uneasy, a little uncomfortable, and a little wronged.
Although she knew very well why Qin Fangang was angry this time, she also knew that she was the one in the wrong.
…
It wasn't that she didn't want to apologize, but she really had never treated a man like this before, so she didn't know how to say it.
So, when she was in the car earlier, she secretly sent Mu Chenchu a text message.
The two of them were standing in front of the elevator in the parking lot. The man in front of her looked dignified in a suit, but he exuded a cold and distant aura. Xin Yu pursed her lips. The phone in her hand vibrated for a short while. Xin Yu glanced at it and saw Mu Chenchu's number. She carefully glanced at the man standing in front of her again before she pressed the button to read it.
"In this situation, you actually had no choice. I think that Qin Fangang should be more considerate of you. Besides, didn't you say those words to Lu Yihan for him? Sometimes, a woman can't be too unprincipled. I support you saying a few nice things, but don't lose your principles for him! "
After Xin Yu finished reading, her brows furrowed even tighter.
Actually, Mu Chenchu's personality was a little different from hers. Xin Yu was stubborn, but she also had a soft personality, especially when it came to the person she loved. Indeed, she would choose to compromise and let him have his way. However, Mu Chenchu was different. She had a more unyielding personality. She would remember those she remembered for the rest of her life, and those she disliked would probably be disliked for the rest of her life.
Especially in the past few years, she had been working hard in the workplace, which highlighted her strong self-esteem as a strong career woman. Xin Yu wasn't the least bit surprised that she would say this.
The elevator dinged. Qin Fangang strode in. Xin Yu watched him go in. She hurriedly put away her phone and followed him into the elevator.
Soon, they reached the floor of his apartment. From the beginning to the end, Qin Fangang had a deep expression on his face. When he entered and exited the elevator, he didn't look at the woman behind him. Xin Yu's heart sank. However, she was the one in the wrong. She didn't have the right to lose her temper. She could only bite the bullet and follow him into the apartment.
The man had one hand in the pocket of his trousers and the other hand at the entrance. He took off his leather shoes and changed into a pair of men's slippers. Then, he walked towards the living room. Xin Yu hurriedly changed into the slippers, closed the door, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Qin Fangang sitting on the sofa. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it on his lips. He was used to seeing him smoke. He always knew that when he smoked, he was especially sexy and charming. But now, his exquisite facial features were piled with a cold expression, but it just so happened to set off when he smoked. In addition to being sexy and charming, there was also a bit of a high and mighty, sacred and inviolable aura.
Men also needed to be coaxed, right?
Xin Yu recalled a sentence she had heard before. In the end, she couldn't help but take a step forward. She stood in front of him and looked down at the man who was smoking with his long legs crossed.
She took a deep breath and said, "… I admit that I was wrong. But are you going to continue to give me the cold shoulder? I shouldn't have lied to you. However, I also … had no choice. Also, I didn't stop you from talking to Lu Yihan in the restaurant. Now, I don't know what Lu Yihan will think or how this matter will end … "
"Are you worried about what he will think?"
The man who had been silent the entire time finally spoke. His deep voice was laced with obvious emotions. "Are you very concerned about what he will think?"
Xin Yu felt helpless. She reached out and massaged her temples. She retorted, "… That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
