The wind suddenly stopped, and the courtyard was silent. Only their rapid and heavy breathing could be heard.
But right now, the sound of their intertwining breaths didn't have the slightest hint of ambiguity. Instead, it was extremely tense, as if the thread connecting them was on the verge of collapse, and it would be completely broken with just a little bit of force.
Cold sweat seeped out of his skin. At this moment, not only Li Yinian, but even Qiao Yanze felt a deep sense of fear. Along with the fear came a sense of absurdity.
Perhaps it was this absurdity that made him ignore the danger that was teetering on the verge of collapse. He said, "My father … He had many lovers when he was young …"
"Stop," Li Yinian interrupted him. Li Yinian interrupted him, her voice almost pleading. She closed her eyes and trembled. Even her teeth were chattering.
"Yinian …" The man's voice was hoarse.
"Stop." She repeated again, as if this had exhausted all her strength and courage. "I beg you to leave."
Qiao Yanze felt his palms sweating more and more, and he almost couldn't hold the woman's wrist.
From his point of view, the woman's face was shockingly pale and filled with despair, as if her world was about to collapse at this moment.
At this moment, Qiao Yanze suddenly understood everything.
All her doubts were answered, including why she had to hide this fact — because the truth was so despairing. If she was the only one who knew it, it would be fine. But if the secret was no longer a secret, it meant that she could never face him again. Even the past between them would become a taboo, and even recalling it would be a sin.
It was even more so for him.
It wasn't until this moment that Qiao Yanze realized what despair and suffocation felt like for the first time. He had thought of all the reasons, but he hadn't expected the truth to be so unbearable. No wonder she was always resisting him. No wonder she would always show a sense of self-loathing every time she couldn't reject him. After knowing their true relationship, she was still forced to lie under him. Qiao Yanze couldn't imagine how she felt at that time.
However, he was the one who had brought all of this to her. He had even been angry at her coldness many times.
He was so ridiculous and self-righteous.
Qiao Yanze suddenly felt his heart go numb, and his grip was losing strength.
The woman's wrist finally broke free from his palm.
Li Yinian didn't look at him again.
She stared at the white door not far away and finally walked over. Her steps were very slow, and her slender body seemed like it could fall at any time.
Qiao Yanze looked at her back and clenched his fists several times, but he resisted the urge to go forward.
At this moment, she must be extremely disgusted by his touch.
Qiao Yanze was surprised that he could still smile.
Li Yinian finally reached the door.
However, her strength seemed to be exhausted the moment she knocked on the door. She suddenly fell to the ground and held onto the door with both hands to prevent herself from falling.
Qiao Yanze's pupils contracted. In the end, his instincts won out. He strode over and put his hands under her armpits, trying to help her up.
