In the hospital room, Ye Yuning’s suppressed sobs were filled with agony.
「Outside the hospital room!」
Qin Jinchuan glared at Xiao Linye, his eyes bloodshot. "Is this why you ca to Turanxi?"
Xiao Linye remained silent.
Purpose! What purpose did he have...?
"Are you still going to marry Qi Mulan, aren’t you?" Qin Jinchuan’s tone turned cold again.
Xiao Linye looked at him.
"She has already decided not to return to Upper City," Qin Jinchuan continued. "She will never again interfere with you and Qi Mulan."
He’d seen it all...! Xiao Linye had said the child was his! And he, Qin Jinchuan, had actually believed Xiao Linye ca this ti because he regretted how he’d treated Ye Yuning before. But who could have possibly imagined... Even now, back in Upper City, talk of his wedding with Qi Mulan was still rampant. Just a mont ago, in the car, he had even seen reports about their wedding venue. It was truly grand! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it an unparalleled, once-in-a-lifeti event.
Xiao Linye stared coldly at Qin Jinchuan, an intense chill flashing deep in his eyes. "Is that what you think?"
"Otherwise?" Qin Jinchuan retorted. "Then what are you doing here in Turanxi? She’s lost the child now."
Xiao Linye said nothing.
"You forcibly took her away yesterday," Qin Jinchuan pressed on. "I thought you were..."
What had he thought...? At this point, Qin Jinchuan couldn’t continue. His breath caught, heavy and suffocating. Looking at the situation in Upper City, it seed Xiao Linye was indeed going to marry Qi Mulan. If they were getting married, why co and tornt Ye Yuning?
"I will not marry Qi Mulan!" Xiao Linye stated, lighting a cigarette and taking a harsh drag. He wasn’t entirely clear on the situation back in Upper City, but from the mont he’d left, the wedding with Qi Mulan was, as far as he was concerned, completely canceled. Hearing Qin Jinchuan’s words now, he had a rough idea of what was happening there. A cold light flickered in his eyes. Qi Mulan! He rembered making himself very clear to her; evidently, she hadn’t listened. And the Qi Family...
"Then how do you intend to explain the situation in Upper City?" Qin Jinchuan demanded.
"Do I need to explain it to you?" Xiao Linye’s sharp retort was laced with extre coldness.
Qin Jinchuan fell silent, his breathing suddenly growing heavy. His fists clenched subconsciously, frost seeming to gather in his eyes. Indeed, Xiao Linye was right; he had no obligation to explain anything to him!
"Yes, you owe no explanation," Qin Jinchuan conceded, then challenged, "but can you clearly explain what happened to the child?"
"You care so much about that child? Why?" Xiao Linye shot back, another sharp counter-question.
The hospital corridor was now filled with a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere. Xiao Linye watched him with a sinister gaze.
Qin Jinchuan’s lips moved as if to say sothing, but ultimately, he spat out in exasperation, "Yes, I don’t care! Damn it, I must be crazy!"
To think Xiao Linye would use such words to shut him up! Why *did* he care about that child? Qin Jinchuan then recalled that after bringing Ye Yuning to Turanxi, he hadn’t once considered making her get rid of the child. Why was that? Because he had seen how much Ye Yuning cherished that child. Even though the child’s father was such a scoundrel, she still wanted to keep it! The rumors painted her as so despicable! Yet, in reality, she was the complete opposite—a gentle woman, yet so strong. She had her own views on everything...
Watching Qin Jinchuan’s infuriated deanor, Xiao Linye took another drag from his cigarette.
Qin Jinchuan pressed on, "If you’re not going to marry Qi Mulan, then why is Upper City in such an uproar?"
The marriage alliance between the Xiao and Qi families had sent shockwaves through all of Upper City. From the mont wedding preparations began, dedicated reporters had been tracking and covering it. Moreover, the Xiao Family had used this wedding as a necessary asure to suppress the scandal involving Ye Yuning. Now, this whole affair...
"I’m not sure," Xiao Linye replied. "I haven’t paid any attention to matters there since coming here."
Both n gradually cald down. Qin Jinchuan’s breathing deepened. He had a general idea of the situation back there; plainly put, it was Old Master Xiao. Thinking about what Old Master Xiao had done to Ye Yuning, Qin Jinchuan’s breath grew heavy again.
"Your father won’t let her go, you know that, right?" So many people had co to Turanxi. And now, those people were all operating in the shadows, which revealed the deadly lengths Old Master Xiao was prepared to go to against Ye Yuning. Indeed, those rumors from Old Master Xiao’s youth were true. And Xiao Linye most closely resembled Old Master Xiao in his younger days, which was precisely why the old master doted on him so much.
Hearing what his father had done to Ye Yuning, Xiao Linye took another drag of his cigarette. "I’m taking her back to Upper City."
He hadn’t directly answered Qin Jinchuan’s question, but his declaration stunned Qin Jinchuan.
"What did you say?" Go back? To Upper City? Take Ye Yuning back to Upper City...? "Are you insane? Your father, he..." His father... what about his father? With things laid out so plainly, he still wanted to take Ye Yuning back?
"Are you trying to get her killed?" Qin Jinchuan roared.
