Quarreling over Adam
Qiao Qiao realized that ever since Eve and Phillips committed suicide for love, Adam had become much quieter.
Although he still cared for her as usual, there was always a tinge of heart-wrenching sadness in his eyes. His dark red eyes had also lost their usual warmth and he was as silent as a dead person.
"Adam …"
Qiao Qiao called out to Adam. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to smile at her. "What's the matter? Lilith? "
Seeing Adam forcing a smile, Qiao Qiao felt a little stifled in her heart. She lowered her head and twirled her fingers as she said slowly, "Actually, I've discussed it with Shaochen. We've decided to return to Country A within this week."
"Return to Country A?" Adam's face paled and the sadness in his eyes deepened. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists but eventually relaxed. He pursed his lips and asked softly, "Then, Lilith, are you willing to let me follow you forever?"
Indeed, he had asked this question.
This was also where Qiao Qiao and He Shaochen had their differences.
He Shaochen did not wish for Adam to follow Qiao Qiao forever. Even if he did not love her, would others think so? The era where knights were prevalent had passed. Now, when a man and a woman walked closer together, it would cause people's imaginations to run wild. As the matriarch of the He Clan, Qiaoqiao's every move was closely watched by everyone. If someone were to talk about her relationship with Adam, or even slander her, it wouldn't be a joke. One person would spread to ten, and ten would spread to a hundred, and three people would become a tiger. It wasn't unreasonable.
He Shaochen's worries were not unreasonable. However, Qiao Qiao was not afraid that she would be hurt. She was worried that if Adam continued to treat her as the only one in the world, he would not be able to find his own happiness. She could not be so selfish as to keep Adam by her side forever and let him grow old alone.
But could Adam accept it? This was what Qiao Qiao was most worried about.
In the end, her worries were completely justified. Adam was very smart. When he heard that she was going to leave with He Shaochen, he guessed that they were going to part ways with him. That was why he asked, "Can I continue to follow you? Lilith? "
His hurt eyes made Qiao Qiao feel like she was a heinous criminal.
She turned her face away, no longer looking directly at Adam's face, and said, "Adam, you don't have to always guard me. You can completely pursue your own happiness. You have the right to obtain happiness, and you don't have to always selflessly guard me, wasting all your time on me."
"But the meaning of my life is to protect you!" Adam roared in pain.
Qiao Qiao looked at Adam in shock. He leaned against the wall and covered his eyes with one hand. His voice was a little hoarse, like a helpless child who knew that he had been abandoned. "Lilith, don't abandon me. Why are you abandoning me too?"
"Adam …"
"I just want to stay by your side. This is enough for me. Please don't deprive me of my only happiness …"
Adam was in great pain, but he was very good at pretending.
Back when Rovino's family was destroyed, Adam had infiltrated the J Organisation for revenge. The fact that he was not discovered for more than 20 years showed that he was a very tolerant person. If even such a person could not hold it in and his emotions exploded, it showed that he was really in so much pain that he could not bear it anymore.
Qiao Qiao discovered that Adam's entire body was trembling, and her heart skipped a beat. She held onto his hand and asked in a soft voice, "Are you still sad about what happened to Eve …"
Adam paused. His body seemed to freeze, and he did not say a word.
But it was as if he had silently agreed.
Qiao Qiao sighed softly. "You actually like Eve too, right? But she chose to be with Phillips … "
"But it's not rational for you to break up with love just because of one emotional setback. There's no need to waste your life on me. A person's life is so long. As long as you have the heart to find it, there will be a day when the love that belongs to you will come again. Adam, why don't you go on a trip and relax? When you come back, you'll realize that there's nothing you can't overcome."
Adam shook his head. He slowly put down his hand. His dark red eyes were bloodshot and filled with despair. "No one knows me better than I do. I won't fall in love with anyone again."
"Don't say that …"
"I just want to protect you and Little Highness now. I don't want to think about anything else." Before Qiao Qiao could say anything, Adam held her hand and looked at her with pleading eyes. "Lilith, you won't abandon me, right?"
Qiao Qiao had always been soft-hearted to her own people.
Moreover, Adam had just been hurt by love. Qiao Qiao couldn't harden her heart. In the end, she compromised under his gaze.
After she told He Shaochen the result of the battle, He Shaochen was so angry that he pinched her face hard.
"Qiao Qiao, are you a pig? You believe that man's words? He's definitely acting pitiful in an attempt to soften your heart and pester you! "He Shaochen guessed darkly.
Qiao Qiao didn't like to hear that.
What did he mean by acting pitiful?
Adam was already very pitiful, okay?
"Adam finally had a trace of love for Eve, but he suffered such a big blow. It's normal for him to be sad. Can you not be so narrow-minded?"
"I'm narrow-minded? Qiao Qiao, don't be stupid! That man is definitely acting. He just wants to pester you! " He Shaochen looked unhappy. Seeing that Qiao Qiao, who was finally persuaded by him, was soft-hearted because of Adam's words, he felt very unbalanced.
Young Master He felt that his dignity as a husband was being challenged.
"Anyway, after we return to Country A, I don't want to see that man following you around all day. You're no longer the Queen, and he's no longer your executive officer. If the two of you are together all day, it will cause criticism."
Qiao Qiao didn't forget He Shaochen's concern. She said in distress, "But I really can't be so cruel to Adam to say no. It's too cruel to him."
"How many times have I told you? That man was faking it, faking it! Are you a pig? He just wants to follow you around all day! "
He Shaochen said angrily.
Qiao Qiao's face also darkened. This guy's bad temper was acting up again.
How many times had he said that she was a pig in ten sentences?
He was the pig in the head! A family of pig in the head!
Bah!
Not including her and Sichu!
"He Shaochen, it's fine that you're unkind, but how can you treat Adam like this? Doesn't he have the right to be sad? How can you say that he's acting? If you continue to be so bad-tempered, I won't go back to A Country! "
"Oh, you're still bad-tempered with me?" He Shaochen stared at Qiao Qiao.
