Ye Zhan told Qin Mu about his deal with Mo Ziye.
Finally, he asked, "Uncle Qin, did you know as well?"
"For four years, it’s not just Ziye who has been investigating the murderer of An Lin." Qin Mu’s voice carried the chill of late autumn and the pain of losing his wife.
He still rembers An Lin holding his hand, saying her last words, not asking him to take care of Qingqing, nor asking him to avenge her.
Her blood-stained body leaned against him; in her fading consciousness, her eyes showed reluctance to leave him.
With her last breath, she wanted to engrave his face into her heart, weakly saying, "Ah Mu, I have to go first. If you feel lonely, find soone to accompany you."
How did he respond to her back then?
He said, "I don’t want anyone besides you."
He wanted to hold her and rush to the hospital, but he couldn’t even stand up, and she left.
Before her death, she once joked with him, saying even if she died soday, he wasn’t allowed to find another woman.
But she didn’t want to die after him because she couldn’t bear the pain of losing him.
She left so suddenly.
They even planned to return to the Imperial City, spend ti with the elders, and then travel.
Leaving Qingqing in G City, confident in Ziye taking care of her.
At the ti, Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran, and others arrived at the cri scene, seeing Qin Mu holding An Lin tightly, with blood at the corner of his mouth.
Later, they learned Qin Mu was so distraught he coughed up blood.
Despite this, he organized An Lin’s funeral affairs single-handedly, during which Qingqing refused to eat or drink, longing to follow her mother.
The most comforting person to her, Mo Ziye, beca the person she hated most because of An Lin’s death. Qingqing listened to no one, and Qin Mu accompanied her in not eating or drinking.
The less he blad himself, the more Qingqing felt guilty and overwheld.
Qingqing accepted her mother’s death when she witnessed Qin Mu faint in front of her; her tall and majestic father fell before her.
Qingqing cried and rushed to hug him... She cooked porridge and waited by his bedside, blaming herself once he awoke.
He said, "Qingqing, your mom has gone. If you don’t want to pull yourself together, then I’ll go now to accompany your mom."
He knew she was hurt by Mo Ziye; everything happened too suddenly, and Mo Ziye didn’t explain it to any of them.
He didn’t know the whole situation.
He didn’t know if Mo Ziye really had sothing with Xin Xin, but he had to save his daughter.
Qingqing was frightened by his words; she nodded and shook her head, embracing him, crying and saying, "Dad, don’t scare . I’ve already lost mom, I can’t lose you too."
"Then, are you willing to follow my arrangent?"
"I will."
Qingqing nodded ssily with swollen eyes, willing to listen to whatever he said.
It was then that he proposed Qingqing to study abroad. Qingqing was stunned for a while, then lightly nodded, "Dad, I’ll listen to you, I’ll go abroad."
She wanted to escape.
But because of her mother’s death, she dared not flee.
Since childhood, indulged by Mo Ziye, Qin Qingqing was even more delicate than a flower nurtured in a greenhouse, unable to withstand any storm.
Qin Mu gave her a chance to escape... and she truly escaped.
"Qingqing spent four years healing, I spent four years tracking the killer; I know the clues Ziye found before, but recently he hasn’t told if there’s progress."
Qin Mu looked at Ye Zhan’s young and handso face, gently saying, "Ah Zhan, you are excellent. Not only do your Grandfather Qin and Qin like you, I also appreciate you."
Ye Zhan’s eyes moved slightly, quietly listening, waiting for him to continue.
Sure enough, Qin Mu paused for a second before continuing, "If I had two daughters, I would definitely marry one to you. But An Lin and I only have Qingqing. After the accident, that rascal Ziye took her away."
"Uncle Qin, I will respect Qingqing’s choice."
Ye Zhan’s face surfaced with a faint smile, his deanor calm and composed.
He said he would respect Qingqing’s choice, rather than directly saying he would give up.
Qin Mu sighed, "Qingqing and Ziye grew up together, more precisely, she was raised single-handedly by Ziye. He earned money to support her since childhood. In their hearts, besides each other, there’s simply no room for anyone else."
"Ah Zhan, I don’t want you to waste ti and energy on Qingqing. She is my daughter, I understand her, even if she doesn’t stay with Ziye all her life, she won’t fall for another man."
"Moreover, she and Ziye won’t stay apart forever; you don’t know, she returned because Ziye engaged with Shi Xi."
When Qingqing returned, it was news from Ziye.
Mo Ziye inford him of Qingqing’s flight, and Zhang Minghui went to pick up Qingqing.
They’re destined to be entangled for life.
"Uncle Qin, I understand."
Ye Zhan’s mouth curved slightly with a faint smile, "But tonight, I’ll still go pick up Qingqing. Until Qingqing and Mo Ziye reconcile, neither Qin nor Grandfather Qin, nor An and Grandpa An, will be at ease with her."
——
G City.
Mo Ziye insisted on accompanying Qin Qingqing back to the Imperial City.
But Qin Qingqing rejected his companionship, "Brother Ziye, until you break up with Shi Xi, you can’t return with ."
"Why?"
"Because Shi Xi will hold a press conference tomorrow to publicly apologize to . If reporters see you returning to the Imperial City with , both Shi Xi and Shi Dongping will guess."
"I’m worried about you going alone."
"The Imperial City is my ho. My dad will pick up as soon as I land. Brother Ziye, you have an important eting tomorrow morning, a signing ceremony in the morning, and in the afternoon you have a press conference with Shi Xi... I don’t want you to run back and forth, I’ll call you when I arrive in the Imperial City. If the illness isn’t serious, I might co back with Sister Momo."
On the way to the airport, Qin Qingqing kept persuading Mo Ziye.
Her mouth felt dry, yet he was still sulking, looking displeased.
Qin Qingqing’s eyes flickered, she suddenly wrapped her hands around his neck, pulled his head down... and kissed him directly.
Mo Ziye was stunned for a second.
She said, "Brother Ziye, wait for to return!"
