You drugged the wine?
Adam heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Hongyan leave. He thought that she would give up this time.
He was a man who could never fall in love. Any woman who had a relationship with him would end up in a terrible state. Therefore, he couldn't harm Hongyan anymore. That girl had saved him and Lilith. He couldn't drag her down with him.
…
After finding He Sijie, He Shaochen still had no intention of leaving.
Everyone knew what his intentions were.
But no one knew.
"Qiao Qiao, I can feel that Mr. He really cares about you. Are you really not going to get back together with him?"
Hongyan leaned against the window and looked at He Shaochen outside. That man was leaning against the tree trunk facing Qiao Qiao's study. He was wearing a black shirt that perfectly outlined his figure. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked like a god who had descended to the mortal world.
Even Hongyan had to admit that this man was very good-looking and affectionate. He had status and money. He was the perfect lover.
Qiao Qiao paused flipping through the book and said calmly, "No."
Hongyan sighed and said, "Mr. He has been standing under that tree for a long time. He's obviously looking at you, right?"
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
"Qiao Qiao, are you really not going to give Mr. He another chance?"
Hongyan somehow felt that He Shaochen was a little pitiful.
Qiao Qiao knew that if she didn't give a definite answer, Hongyan would continue to ask.
She put the book down and sighed. "I've given him too many chances, but he has always been fearless. So, I don't plan to give him another chance."
"But you still like Mr. He."
"No."
Qiao Qiao quickly denied.
Hongyan raised her eyebrows and said, "You can't hide it from me. I saw it that day. You were looking at the wedding photos of you and Mr. He, right?"
Qiao Qiao's eyelids twitched.
Hongyan continued, "Your eyes were very nostalgic at that time. I could tell that you still have feelings for Mr. He. You can't lie to me. You clearly …"
Qiao Qiao forcefully interrupted Hongyan.
"Yan, falling in love doesn't mean that we have to be together. Many things can't be solved just by falling in love!"
She stood up and looked at Hongyan calmly. "That's right. I do still have He Shaochen in my heart, and he does still like me. We used to love each other very much, but the hurt and conflict still exist between the two of us. I really don't have the courage to continue this relationship. I don't want to be like a fool when another divorce agreement is placed in front of me one day and I don't know anything."
Qiao Qiao was a little emotional. Her chest was heaving up and down as she panted slightly. Her hands were clenched tightly into fists.
She had enough. She really had enough!
It was the first time Hongyan saw Qiao Qiao angry. She apologized. "I'm sorry. I was being nosy."
Qiao Qiao shook her head and continued to sit on the sofa. "No, it's not your fault. I have my own problems too …"
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "My trust has been exhausted. Everything he does now is no different from before. Every time after, he will stay by my side like this and wait for me to forgive him. But if I forgive him, he will continue to do things according to his own wishes."
Hongyan thought about it and felt that it was understandable.
What kind of person was He Shaochen?
That man was the high and mighty head of He Clan. He was definitely strong. He didn't need to consider others when doing things. He only needed to give orders and the other party would execute them.
It must be very tiring to be with such a man.
Qiao Qiao walked to the window, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out.
She happened to meet He Shaochen's eyes.
She looked at He Shaochen and said word by word, "He Shaochen is really a self-righteous man."
…
Hongyan prepared to say goodbye.
All good things must come to an end. Even if she was a guest, she had stayed in J Country for too long.
Moreover, Adam had already made it clear to her. If she continued to pester him, it would be too untactful.
Hongyan didn't tell Qiao Qiao about her and Adam's situation. She knew that if Qiao Qiao knew about this, she would definitely urge her to stay. She would use all kinds of reasons to tell her that Adam had feelings for her and that she was special.
But when it came to matters of the heart, only the person involved would know best.
Hongyan knew that Adam only had Qiao Qiao in his heart. If she continued to pester him, she would be the most disdainful third party, just like her mother …
Today, while everyone was here.
Hongyan stood up at the dining table and said, "Well, I have something to tell everyone."
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked at her, including Adam.
"Ah Yan, what's the matter?"
Qiao Qiao asked.
Ah Yan twirled her fingers and said, "Well, I've stayed in J Country for too long. I plan to leave tomorrow. I've already settled the procedures. The plane ticket is for tomorrow night. I'll arrive in Snow Country in the morning."
"Why so sudden?"
Qiao Qiao said in surprise.
Hongyan scratched her head a little awkwardly and said, "It's a little sudden. But this time, I came out because I want to travel around the world. Staying here goes against my original intention. I heard that it's starting to snow in Snow Country. The scenery is very beautiful. I plan to go and take a look."
"Even if you want to see the snow, you don't have to leave. Soon, J Country will also snow. The snow won't be worse than Snow Country, right? Adam? "
Her gaze fell on Adam, hoping that he would say something.
Hongyan should listen to Adam's words.
Adam sensed Qiao Qiao's gaze, and Qiao Qiao winked at him. She kept using her eyes to attack him, urging him to speak quickly.
The one Adam could not refuse the most was Qiao Qiao.
He sighed and stood up as well.
Hongyan's heart was also in her throat. She looked at Adam nervously, her body stiff.
Adam looked deeply at Hongyan, finally revealing a smile and said, "The world is so big. You're still young. It's good for you to go out more. I have friends in Snow Country. When you arrive, you can contact them. Just tell them my name."
She probably already knew what Adam would say, so she was not too disappointed.
"Adam!"
Qiao Qiao did not think that Adam would say such words. She frowned and said unhappily.
Adam said to Qiao Qiao, "Lilith, we should respect Hongyan's wishes, isn't that right?
Qiao Qiao was blocked by Adam's words. She was somewhat annoyed. Did he not feel the slightest bit when he saw that Hongyan was about to leave?
Did he not feel the slightest bit of reluctance?
Qiao Qiao was not satisfied and wanted to continue persuading. Hongyan forced a smile and said, "Adam is right. I'm still young. I should go out more and increase my knowledge. Who knows, I might even meet my destined one."
Adam's smile deepened. "I hope you find your lover soon."
Hongyan nodded. "Thank you."
Qiao Qiao looked at the two people in front of her. Her brows were almost twisted into a fried dough twist.
What had happened between the two of them without her knowledge?
The next day.
"Hongyan, are you really leaving?"
Qiao Qiao held Hongyan's hand and said reluctantly.
Hongyan forced a smile. "En, I've troubled you these days."
"It's nothing. I'm very happy to have met you."
Qiao Qiao said reluctantly. "Will you still come to J Country in the future?"
Hongyan smiled. "As long as you still welcome me …"
"J Country's door will always welcome you."
Hongyan laughed. Her gaze circled behind Qiao Qiao, but there was no trace of Adam.
Qiao Qiao of course knew what Hongyan was looking for. She said in annoyance, "What is Adam doing? He knows that you're leaving today, but he still hasn't come to send you off! "
Hongyan thought that he couldn't wait for her to leave early. Why would he come to send her off?
She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. You can send me off here. I'm going in."
Hongyan turned and walked into the security check. Qiao Qiao cursed Adam half to death in her heart, but in the end, she was still discouraged.
Perhaps, a forced melon was really not sweet.
At the same time that Hongyan walked into the security check, Adam was sitting in a nightclub. Beside him, there was an elegant woman who was pouring wine for him.
This was also a nightclub under his name. In fact, Adam rarely came to this kind of place.
He didn't know why, but he came on the day that he was supposed to send Hongyan off. He didn't want to send Hongyan off, because that girl would definitely look at him with those forced free and easy eyes. That would be too pitiful. His feelings had always been straightforward. Since he didn't want to give that girl any hope, then he wouldn't give her any at all.
It wasn't good for anyone to be sloppy.
However, he still looked at the time frequently. He thought that the girl's flight seemed to be at 8 p.m., and it was already 7: 30 p.m. She should have entered the security check.
She should be very disappointed to see that he didn't go.
"Is there something on your mind?"
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in his ear.
Adam's hand that was playing with the watch paused. He looked at the woman with no warmth in his eyes.
The woman was also used to Adam's attitude towards them. In fact, Adam was a very stingy person. His gentleness was only for that person and her child. Because the woman could see the situation clearly, she was also the one who stayed the longest by Adam's side.
She smiled and said, "You kept staring at the watch, so I made a bold guess."
"You're still so good at guessing people's hearts."
Adam drank the wine in his glass.
"After all, I was taught by you."
The woman poured another glass of wine for Adam. Seeing that Adam drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, her eyes changed slightly, and then she said, "Sir, I'll pour you another glass."
Adam handed the empty glass over, and the woman filled it for him.
He drank it in one gulp again.
Adam's alcohol tolerance was very good. Although it wasn't that he wouldn't get drunk after a thousand glasses, a few bottles of wine definitely wouldn't be a problem for him. However, today he actually felt dizzy, as if a part of his body was on fire. Suddenly, he wanted a woman very much.
"Sir, another glass …"
