The atmosphere froze for a second.
Qiao Zixin was amused,
"Of course I am close to her, she is my..." future sister-in-law and savior...
But he stopped midway through his sentence and changed his words,
"She is my friend!"
He emphasized the word ’friend’
A bitter taste appeared in Qiao Jun’s mouth.
Friend?
Are friends nowadays so close?
But why the heck he was feeling so bitter and sour?
The smirk on Qiao Jun’s face fell and he asked in a sour tone,
"Oh? Friend? That is good."
Then he lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.
Yu Hoela thought that he was tired, so she turned to Qiao Zixin and asked,
"Brother Zixin, what are you doing here?"
Qiao Zixin explained,
"I am here to supervise him for the night.Dad is busy with the companies matters, mom is taking care of Zirui and Zifei, Li has so important work, so they asked to accompany him."
"But your work..." Yu Holea asked worriedly.
Unlike businessn who can take a day or two off, the president of the country can’t do the sa.
"I have completed my work and dealt with all the important matters. The rest of the work will be handled by through online. So don’t worry. You can leave now."
Qiao Jun’s hand under the blanket clenched and he unhappily turned away. To express his displeasure he even made a ’hmph’ sound.
Yu Holea chuckled.
When Qiao Jun recovers his mory and recalls the childish things he has done, he will be so embarrassed that he might wish for the earth to swallow him.
Qiao Zixin pursued his lips to stop himself from laughing.
"It’s okay brother. I will take care of him. After all, I am his fiance." Yu Holea said.
"No." Qiao Zixin shook his head, and winked at Yu Holea, "My little brother wants to break off the engagent with you. In that case, it will be inappropriate for you to stay here.’
Qiao Jun finally couldn’t stop himself and said,
"The engagent has not yet been broken off!"
"Ah is it?" Qiao Zixin asked. His tone was dripping with amusent. "If so then, should I book a marriage hall for you and Holea?"
Qiao Jun subconsciously blurted out,
"No! I don’t want to marry her."
After finishing his words, Qiao Jun regretted it. However, for so reason, he couldn’t control his words at all.
He tried to smooth out the thing and opened his mouth to explain that he didn’t say those words voluntarily, however, his mouth seed to have shut off.
The atmosphere froze for a second before Yu Holea said calmly,
"It’s okay Brother Zixin I will take care of him. You should go."
The smile on Qiao Zixin’s face had fallen the mont he heard Qiao Jun’s words.
"Holea, please co out for a second." He said and stord off the hospital room.
Yu Holea followed behind him.
Qiao Jun panicked and wanted to follow them, yet again, his body didn’t move.
.....
"Holea, if you want you can break off the engagent for now. When he will rember his mories, he will eventually return to you." Qiao Zixin advised.
His heart ached for Yu Holea.
If the strong opposition from Qiao Jun just now was enough to make him angry, then god knows how much Yu Holea was hurting from it.
He didn’t want her to be hurt.
Not when she was already so much hurt.
Yu Holea chuckled,
"Brother Zixin you are worrying too much."
"But he..."
"I can’t." A smile appeared on Yu Holea’s face as she said, "And don’t scold him. He is not at mistake."
"Holea you are too kind..."
"I am not." Yu Holea firmly shook her head. "In fact, he may hurt now, but whenever I was at my low. He was there."
She recalled the ti when she was corrupted and Qiao Jun helped her. At that ti, she was too confused, and Qiao Jun’s soul fragnt, or whatever it was...helped her. She even had a feeling that Qiao Jun’s soul fragnt might have disintegrated if she didn’t leave on ti, however he didn’t leave her.
Whenever she felt lonely and needed courage, Qiao Jun’s soul fragnt would visit her dream and encourage her.
Now that he has forgotten his mory and is under the influence of soone else, how can she leave him alone?
"What if I was the one who had lost my mory? Do you think he would have left too?" Yu Holea asked.
Qiao Zixin turned silent.
If Yu Holea had lost her mory, Qiao Jun would have treated her previously, even if she had hurt him.
"See." Yu Holea was amused.
Qiao Zixin,
"But I can’t see you getting hurt."
Yu Holea smiled softly at Qiao Zixin, her eyes filled with understanding.
"Brother Zixin, I know you’re worried about , but I’m stronger than I look. This isn’t the first ti I’ve faced difficulties, and it certainly won’t be the last.
But I love Qiao Jun, and I believe in him. I’m not giving up on him just because things are hard right now. He needs , even if he doesn’t realize it."
Qiao Zixin’s heart ached at her words.
He admired Yu Holea’s strength and loyalty, but it pained him to see her in such a difficult situation.
He knew how much she had already sacrificed and endured for Qiao Jun.
"Forget it. I won’t say anything more."
"Good. Now I think you should leave. You are the president of the country, you have your own important matters to look after." Yu Holea said with a smile.
Qiao Zixin chuckled and patted her head,
"Okay. Okay. Go inside now. The weather is cold, wear more clothes."
"Yes, president!" Yu Holea said energetically.
Qiao Zixin laughed and once Yu Holea entered the room, he walked away.
Qiao Jun who was waiting inside the room impatiently, instantly made a poker face when he saw Yu Holea entering the room.
He let out the breath that he was holding when he saw Qiao Zixin didn’t enter the room.
Though he knew Qiao Zixin and Yu Holea didn’t have any impure relationship, Qiao Jun felt bubbling anger when he saw them leaving together.
Without a word, Yu Holea walked toward the extra bed and lay down. She wanted to be understanding and not bla Qiao Jun, but she was indeed hurt by so words.
"Miss Yu."
No response.
Qiao Jun panicked and continued,
"Miss Yu, I didn’t an to hurt you."
"I can understand." Yu Holea said softly.
"Miss Yu."
"I am tired." Yu Holea said calmly.
Qiao Jun’s heart was filled with sadness. He stared at Yu Holea’s back like a abandoned puppy for a few seconds before his heart filled with regret and frustration.
He knew he had hurt her, even if he didn’t fully understand why he was acting this way.
The words had just slipped out of his mouth, and now he was left with the bitter taste of guilt.
"Miss Yu..." he called out again, his voice softer this ti.
But Yu Holea remained silent, her back turned to him as she lay on the bed.
Qiao Jun clenched his fists under the blanket, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.
He wanted to get up, to go to her, to say sothing—anything—that would make things right.
But his body felt heavy, his limbs unwilling to cooperate, as if he were being held back by sothing invisible and powerful.
"Yu Holea..." he whispered, dropping the formal address in a mont of vulnerability.
Yu Holea’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him call her by her full na, but she forced herself to remain still, not wanting to show how much it affected her.
"Please..." Qiao Jun continued, his voice trembling slightly.
"I don’t know why I said those things. I don’t understand what’s happening to , but I don’t want to hurt you. I—"
He stopped, the words choking in his throat.
He didn’t know how to express what he was feeling, how to tell her that despite everything, he didn’t want her to leave.
The fear of losing her, of being left alone in this confusing, fragnted state, was more than he could bear.
He lowered his head to fight back the unhappiness.
Suddenly he felt a shadow on him and before he could react, a familiar scent enveloped him.
"You..truly...I don’t know how to deal with you sotis." Yu Holea sighed as she hugged Qiao Jun.
The gloominess around Qiao Jun slowly faded and a small smile appeared on his face. His ears turned a little red and his heart skipped a beat.
The sweet scent of Yu Holea was alluring him to do sothing immoral to her.
Suddenly a thought appeared in Qiao Jun’s mind.
If Yu Holea slls so good, how good her lips will feel?
It was as if a curse was placed on him because the next second all he could think was the taste of her lips.
