“What use is there in opening it now? To see if it’s what I really want? To see if it’s the genuine article?” Zhao Youlin smiled, “So what if I see it? So what if I don’t see it? If you’re really trying to fool , we have already

chatted and said everything that needs to be said. Now that your goal has been achieved, can I turn back ti and take back my words?”

Qin Huai was stunned. After realizing that Zhao Youlin was trying to be friendly with him, the corners of his lips slowly curled up.

Zhao Youlin’s fingertips tapped on the docunt bag a few tis. Suddenly, she raised her head and glanced at Qin Huai. With a serious expression, she said, “But there’s one thing | still hope that you can promise .”

“Please speak, Ms. Zhao.”

“Since you have already dug your nails deep into this case, you should be very clear that this matter is sowhat of a scandal for our Zhao family. If possible, I hope that you can remain silent about this matter.”

Qin Huai seed to have already expected that Zhao Youlin would say this, so he was not too surprised. He nodded with a smile and said, “I understand. I promise that none of this goes out.”

“Thank you, Mister Qin.”

“You’re welco, Ms. Zhao. No matter what, the na Zhao Youlin connects us both. Although I gave you a hard ti in the beginning, I still hope that we can be on friendly terms. If you have any difficulties in the

future, you can co to us again. You can be sure that this remains a secret.”

Zhao Youlin smiled, but did not give a definite answer. After the two of them chatted for a while, Qin Huai got up and left.

Before he left, Qin Huai specially asked, “I heard that you got married not long ago.”

Zhao Youlin did not expect him to suddenly ask this. After hesitating for a while, she nodded and said, “Yes, it’s rather recent.”

“I see…” Qin Huai looked at Zhao Youlin with a gaze that was an odd mix of regret and annoyance. In the end, it turned into helplessness. “Then I wish Miss Zhao happiness.”

“Thank you.” Zhao Youlin politely nodded at him and watched the devastated but still strong man leave.

Zhao Youlin asked herself if she would have been moved and wanted to be with him if these things hadn’t happened, if she hadn’t t Mu Tingfeng, and if she had suddenly known that such a person had always liked

her.., this answer was probably sothing that even she herself could not confirm.

Qin Huai was not only good-looking and valued friendship. More importantly, he was reliable and could give girls the sense of security that they wanted. However, there were not so many ifs in this world.

Now that she had given her heart to Mu Tingfeng, she could not give it to anyone else. Most importantly, when they were also facing a different version of themselves, Qin Huai and Mu Tingfeng both had doubts.

However, under such a foundation of doubt, Qin Huai chose not to move forward and remained silent. He was cautious and did not cross the line. On the other hand, Mu Tingfeng chose to press on step by step and

sort out the truth from the confusion. Then, he set a trap and waited for her to jump into it.

In matters of love, one side had to take the initiative. Otherwise, the two of them would never be able to go down. At this point, Mu Tingfeng had done it, but Qin Huai could not. Zhao Youlin had always been

conservative in this aspect, so it was highly likely that the person who took the initiative would not be her.

Therefore, even if she had not t Mu Tingfeng, Zhao Youlin was not sure if she and Qin Huai would be together for a long ti. It was possible to be together, but if they were to be together for a long ti, Qin Huai

was Clearly not the most suitable candidate.

Thinking of it this way, everything now was fated, but perhaps more so, it was inevitable.

Of course, there was another point. Qin Huai’s previous words did sound very pleasant, but if one really thought about it, Zhao Youlin might not be really moved.

Qin Huai had said that the reason he noticed her was because of what she had said in the coffee shop.

What Qin Huai didn’t know was that those words did not stem from a more cultured or a more enlightened pedestal. The reason why she liked drinking bitter coffee was actually very simple.

At that ti, she had just been brought ho by her adoptive mother. Her adoptive mother’s family conditions were not particularly good. She was the kind of person who sat leisurely and elegantly drank coffee with

her friends in the coffee shop, chatting with them from ti to ti, to Zhao Youlin at that ti, enjoying the lazy afternoon was sothing that was out of her reach.

Every ti Zhao Youlin walked past the entrance of the coffee shop, she would look through the glass windows at the young people who were about the sa age as her, but dressed in bright clothes and laughing

heartily, it would be a lie to say that she was not envious.

Perhaps it was because she was not very good at hiding her emotions at that ti, but her adoptive mother soon discovered her thoughts. One day, on her way ho from school, her adoptive mother suddenly

brought her into the coffee shop that she had been paying attention to and ordered a cup of bitter coffee for her.

Her adoptive mother, who had never drunk such a luxurious thing as coffee, naturally did not know that there were many types of coffee. It could also be complented with sugar, milk powder, and many different

things.

The coffee that day was very bitter, but it was also very sweet, fragrant, and a little sour. After she took the cup of warm coffee from her adoptive mother, she saw love and deep guilt on her adoptive mother’s tired and

weathered face. It was guilt born from a mother’s limited ability to give her child too many things.

From then on, when Zhao Youlin passed by the coffee shop, she did not take another look inside.

Many years later, when Zhao Youlin beca rich and could afford coffee, she would be able to sit in the coffee shop and beco one of those people who spoke with confidence. However, her adoptive mother had long

passed away.

Many people who had gone to the coffee shop with her, whether they were friends or colleagues, would be a little surprised to see her drinking bitter coffee, because in their hearts, girls should drink sothing like

latte, or a caral-type coffee had a more gentle taste, and was not so “heavy”.

They would ask her questions, apart from being surprised. Of course, Zhao Youlin would not tell them the truth, so she thought of such a reason to prevaricate. As expected, those people stopped asking.

Over ti, the words that Qin Huai heard beca a perfunctory excuse that Zhao Youlin used to dismiss those people, and the only person who really knew the reason was Zhao Youlin herself.

In the coffee shop, others were drinking coffee, while she was drinking just a thought.

However, Qin Huai did not know the cause and effect. He was attracted to her just by her words. In the end, what he liked was just the tip of an iceberg that ran deep..
