Chapter 1249: Even mories Are a Sin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The wind suddenly stopped. The courtyard was silent, and only their heavy breathing could be heard.
However, at this mont, there was no ambiguity in the sound of their breathing. Instead, it was extrely tense, as if the thread connecting them was already on the verge of collapse.
Cold sweat seeped out from the depths of his skin. At this mont, not only Li Yinian, but even Qiao Yanze felt a bone-chilling fear, accompanied by an extrely ridiculous feeling.
Perhaps it was this absurdity that made him ignore the danger. He said in a low voice, “My father… He had many lovers when he was young…”
“Don’t go on anymore,” Li Yinian interrupted him. Her voice was almost pleading. She closed her eyes and trembled so much that her teeth were chattering.
“Yinian…” The man’s voice was hoarse.
“Stop it,” she repeated, as if the words had exhausted all her strength and courage. “I beg you to leave.”
Qiao Yanze felt more and more sweat on his palms. He almost couldn’t hold the woman’s wrist.
From his angle, the woman’s face was shockingly pale and desperate, as if her world had shattered.
At this mont, Qiao Yanze suddenly understood everything.
All his doubts were answered, including why she wanted to hide this fact—because the truth was so despairing. If she was the only one who knew, it would be fine, but if the secret was no longer a secret, it ant that she would never be able to face him again. Even all their pasts had beco taboo. Even mories were a sin.
It was even more so for him.
It was only at this mont that Qiao Yanze truly realized what despair and suffocation were. He had thought of all the reasons, but he did not expect the truth to be so unbearable. No wonder she was always resisting him. No wonder every ti she could not reject him, she would always reveal an expression of self-loathing. After knowing their true relationship, she was still forced to lie under him—Qiao Yanze could not imagine how she felt at that ti.
However, he was the one who had brought all of this to her. He had even been angry at her coldness many tis.
He was so ridiculous and self-righteous.
Qiao Yanze suddenly felt his heart ache until it was numb, and the strength in his hands was disappearing bit by bit.
The woman’s wrist finally broke free from his palm.
Li Yinian never looked at him again.
She stared at the white door not far away and finally walked over. Her steps were very slow, and her slender body seed like it could collapse at any mont.
Qiao Yanze looked at her back before clenching and unclenching his fists several tis, but he still resisted the urge to step forward.
He reckoned that she must hate his touch at this mont.
Qiao Yanze was surprised that he could still smile.
Li Yinian finally walked to the door.
However, her strength seed to have been exhausted the mont she knocked on the door. She fell to the ground and held the door with both hands to prevent herself from falling.
Qiao Yanze’s pupils constricted. In the end, his instincts took over. He strode over and grabbed her armpits, trying to help her up.
Li Yinian’s reaction was unprecedentedly intense.
