Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Su Qing lifted her hand to flag down a taxi, she then realized that her palms were bleeding from digging her nails into them. She was stunned for a mont as she saw the red in her palms. A taxi stopped in front of her, and she pulled open the door, got into the car, and told the driver her address.
As she headed ho, she was staring out the window into the misty night when her vision beca blurry.
They had made a clean break years ago, a fact that she was well aware of, but it was only now that they had t again that she truly understood that their past together could never be sorted out and, thus, was not a clean break.
We are separated by mountains and rivers and are no longer from the sa world.
…
The car ca to a steady stop in front of Gu Yusheng’s villa, and Qin Jiayan sat in the back seat for so ti without making a move to get out.
Five minutes went by before the driver raised his voice the third ti and said, “Mr. Qin, we’ve arrived.”
Qin Jiayan blinked and ca to his senses. He acknowledged the driver and froze in his seat again. Just when the driver was about to tell him a fourth ti, he pushed open the car door and got out slowly before strolling through the villa’s courtyard.
Qin Jiayan opened the door of the house and changed his shoes in the entry. When he turned into the living room, he realized that Qin Zhi’ai was still awake. She was huddled on the sofa watching TV.
Because it was late and all the other family mbers were asleep, even though the villa was soundproof, Qin Zhi’ai still lowered the TV volu out of fear that it would rouse them from their sleep.
When she saw that Qin Jiayan had returned ho, she turned and glance at him before asking, “Do you want dinner?”
Qin Jiayan removed his suit jacket and tugged off his tie before shaking his head to decline. He then sat down on the sofa. “Why aren’t you asleep? It’s already so late.”
“Little Peanut had diarrhea and woke up, and now I can’t get back to sleep.” Qin Zhi’ai took a bag of chips from the table and ripped it open before she held it up in front of Qin Jiayan. When she saw him shake his head to indicate that he didn’t want any, she secured it on her chest and began munching on chips before casually saying, “You t up with Ms. Lin yesterday. So, what do you think?”
When Qin Zhi’ai asked this, Su Qing’s silhouette flashed across Qin Jiayan’s mind and how her husband had abused her earlier that night.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Qin Zhi’ai asked when she beca curious about Qin Jiayan’s silence.
Qin Jiayan ca to his senses. “It was okay.”
“That’s the reply that you always give and, subsequently, nothing cos out of it every single ti,” Qin Zhi’ai complained. “Why don’t we introduce Brother Bancheng’s cousin to you? You’ve t her before. She was quite pretty and was a military dic.”
Yi Guoguo…
Qin Jiayan had a favorable impression of her; she was indeed very pretty and had a cheerful personality, but he still shook his head. “Forget about it.”
“Jiayan, you’re not young anymore. You can’t possibly remain single forever. If I’m not mistaken, one of your high school classmates remarried last month? He’s already married twice…”
Qin Jiayan knew that Qin Zhi’ai’s subsequent words would be a series of complaints, so he subconsciously took his clothes and prepared to head upstairs to take a shower, but before he could get up, Qin Zhi’ai grabbed ahold of his sleeve. “Sit down. There’s sothing serious I want to talk to you about.”
When Qin Jiayan saw the serious expression on Qin Zhi’ai’s face, he froze.
“Jiayan, after dad passed away, mom was hospitalized. Do you still rember that she was almost chased out of the hospital when we couldn’t pay the hospital bills, but soone donated $200,000 to pay them off?”
