The man's voice was hoarse and calm, and she heard every word clearly.
Li Yinian's hand paused in mid-air.
After a while, she looked up at the man beside her. Her eyes were clear and emotionless. "I did like you, but that's all."
Qiao Yanze took a deep breath, and his eyes darkened.
After a while, he chuckled and said, "If my mother hadn't stopped us, would we have gotten married a long time ago, and that child would have been at the age of elementary school?"
Li Yinian's dark eyes moved.
"No." She said without hesitation, but she avoided his gaze. "Even if your mother hadn't stopped me, the chances of me keeping that child would have been very low. Even if I had kept that child, I might not have married you because of it. After all, I was already tired of it. "
Qiao Yanze stared at her frosty face, but the image of that charming woman appeared in his mind.
He suddenly felt like his heart was being restrained by something, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Okay." He didn't say anything, but his Adam's apple moved, and his voice became hoarse. "If you need help in the future, you can ask me. I'll never make any conditions for you. Don't refuse. Treat it as my compensation. "
Li Yinian hesitated for a bit and nodded. Although she knew she would never ask him for help, she didn't mind agreeing if it could make the man feel better.
Qiao Yanze let go of her wrist and said, "Go in. I've booked a flight for you tomorrow. Take care of yourself."
Li Yinian smiled and said, "Thank you."
She then inserted the key into the lock and turned it. She then pulled up the suitcase and walked in. However, when she was about to close the door, she met the man's gaze again.
The man's dark eyes were like an impenetrable net.
She grabbed the doorknob and slammed it shut. Her rude action successfully blocked Qiao Yanze from seeing her and blocking his view.
At that moment, Li Yinian suddenly felt lost and lonely. This emotion came so suddenly that it almost defeated her.
She walked to the sofa and slowly knelt down, burying her face in the armrest of the sofa. After a while, she raised her head. The little bit of water had already been absorbed by the soft wool cushion of the armrest, and there was no trace of it.
…
Qiao Yanze returned to the car, but he didn't leave immediately.
He lit a cigarette. His expression was cold, and his eyes seemed to be looking at a certain void.
Only when the cigarette in his hand burned to the end did he come back to his senses. He put out the cigarette butt and made a phone call.
"How's the thing I asked you to investigate?"
"Um …" Gu Yimo was on the other end of the phone. "You asked me to investigate what happened four years ago. That's pretty reliable. Didn't I find out where the doctor was? But now you want to investigate something that happened more than 20 years ago … At that time, I was still a newborn, how can it be so easy? Although Yinian and I are relatives, our families haven't been in contact for so many years … "
