Adam Left Behind
"Joe Qiao, you must be stubborn with me, right?"
He Shaochen sneered.
"I have nothing in common with you!" Qiao Qiao turned around and walked out of the house. He Shaochen glared at her angrily. "Joe Qiao, stop right there!"
But Qiao Qiao was also angry. How could she listen to him? She just left.
He Shaochen gritted his teeth in anger. "Adam …"
Qiao Qiao tried to negotiate with Adam, but not only did she fail, she even betrayed him. He Shaochen had no choice but to deal with her personally. He went to the General Affairs Office. Adam was sorting out the handover documents. His face was calm, and no one could tell that he was heartbroken.
He Shaochen walked in and went straight to the point. "You're really good at pretending. Do you think I'll let you follow Joe Qiao just because of this little trick?"
When Adam heard this, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at He Shaochen with a smile. "Tsk, I can't believe you found out. Mr He is really sharp."
He Shaochen saw that he didn't panic at all after being seen through. Instead, he admitted it with a clear conscience. His face was so dark that it was about to drip ink. "You actually used such a despicable method to gain sympathy. You're really something!"
"Inferior?"
"Isn't that so? Joe Qiao thought that you would be sad because of Eve's death and couldn't bear to hurt you. Instead, you used this as a bargaining chip to soften her heart! Isn't it inferior? "
Adam lowered his eyes, his heart throbbing. He suddenly laughed, "Whatever you say, I will never leave Lilith's side. Even Lilith has agreed to let me follow her. I won't even consider your words."
"You're really a sticky candy, sticking to Joe Qiao so tightly. I really wonder if you've really fallen in love with her."
Adam put down the document in his hand and leaned lazily against the window. He tilted his head slightly and bathed his body in the sunlight. His long golden hair was like a stream of light, extremely dazzling. His dark red eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a vampire aristocrat who had walked out of an oil painting. He curled his lips and felt disdain towards He Shaochen's words. "Love? Don't think that my feelings for Lilith are so vulgar. My feelings for her are to protect her. Lilith is the woman that I will protect with all my life. This will never change. "
"Do you really think you're a knight from ancient times? I'm sorry, but chivalry isn't popular now, and people won't think so highly of your feelings. If you keep following Joe Qiao, people will slander her. "
If an ordinary person heard such words, they would definitely have some misgivings.
However, Adam wasn't an ordinary person. He was an elite who had been influenced by the J Organisation's style of doing things for more than 20 years.
He Shaochen's misgivings didn't bother him at all. With a gentle sweep of his hand, a small knife fell into his hand. He played with the knife in his palm and manipulated it as he pleased. He said casually, "Don't worry, I'll get rid of all those who dare to slander Lilith."
He Shaochen knew that this person was ruthless and couldn't help but hold his forehead. "I'll say this first. A Country is not J Country. There's no J Organisation to support you, and there's no Charlie Royal Family to back you up. In A Country, you're just a commoner. If you touch someone you shouldn't touch, I won't clean up the mess for you."
"Hmph, do you think I'll give myself away?" Adam was disdainful. He waved the knife gently and it flew past He Shaochen's ear and accurately stabbed into the wall behind him. "Don't doubt my professionalism."
He Shaochen didn't move at all. If Adam's hand had trembled slightly just now, the knife wouldn't have just been inserted into the wall. However, he didn't show any signs of fear at all. He said calmly, "But everyone who has slandered Joe Qiao has been dealt with. Do you think others won't link it to her? Don't put the consequences of your reckless actions on Joe Qiao's head. "
Adam said, "… I won't let Lilith bear my responsibility."
"It's true that you won't let her bear the responsibility, but if she knows that everything you did was for her, do you think she'll abandon you if something happens to you? You know how much she cares about the people around her. She knows what you've done. Even if all of this has nothing to do with her, she'll definitely help you convict. Don't doubt it, she'll do it. "
Adam was speechless.
Seeing that Adam had softened a little, He Shaochen continued, "I hope you understand that your protection can sometimes backfire. If you really want Joe Qiao to be happy, don't get involved with her anymore. Cutting off this so-called protection is really for her own good."
Adam was silent for a long time.
He seemed to be reflecting on He Shaochen's words. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Will you really take good care of Lilith?"
"You've asked this question many times. I'm Joe Qiao's husband. Of course I'll take good care of her."
"But I'm always worried. You don't look very reliable. Now that you've promised, what if you don't treat her well in the future? What if he gets bullied at Family He's house again? She doesn't even have anyone to protect her. Poor Lilith … "
He Shaochen's mouth twitched. "Can you not think of my family in such a bad way?"
"Haha, maybe I'm overthinking. After all, Lilith has chosen you. Although she doesn't have good taste, she still loves you. I can't stop her."
Sometimes, when you love someone, you'll become brave. No matter how difficult it is, as long as the person you love is by your side, you'll be happy.
His one-sided protection might be a burden to Lilith.
"I can choose not to go to Country A with Lilith …"
Adam compromised.
He Shaochen raised his eyebrows.
"But I'll keep an eye on your movements. If you dare to bully her or make her feel wronged, I won't let you off! I'll get Lilith back! I won't give you the chance to hurt her again! "
"Don't worry, that day will never come!"
He Shaochen was extremely confident.
Seeing this, Adam chuckled. "You can go now. I'll talk to Lilith later."
He Shaochen had achieved his goal and didn't stay any longer. "I hope you'll do as you say!"
Then he turned and left.
Leaving behind Adam, who was rooted to the ground, looking as if he had been abandoned by the world.
Adam's eyes were wet. Adam's low laughter echoed in the house. His laughter was so suppressed, as if he was crying. It made one feel extremely sad.

Qiao Qiao was surprised to hear that Adam had suddenly given up on returning to Country A with them. "Adam, have you thought it through? You're really not going with us? "
A faint smile appeared on Adam's face that was even more beautiful than a woman's. He reached out his hand and rubbed Qiaoqiao's head. "Perhaps I should really listen to you and go on a trip. Who knows, I might even encounter a beautiful relationship."
Seeing that Adam had thought it through, Qiao Qiao also heaved a sigh of relief. She said sincerely, "Adam, there's nothing you can't overcome. You'll definitely find the happiness that belongs to you."
Adam nodded. "I hope so. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay."
The two of them walked in opposite directions.
Qiao Qiao stopped halfway. Why did Adam suddenly change his mind?
