Li Yinianâs rapid breathing was the only sound in the house.
Qiao Yanze wasnât angry. He just licked the corner of his lips and couldnât help smiling as he tasted the odor of blood.
His gaze landed on Li Yinian, and his smile suddenly became bloodthirsty.
Li Yinian panted heavily, her eyes moist and watery.
Her palm was still hurting and numb. She suddenly realized that this was the third time she had slapped this man, and it was in front of another man.
âQiao Yanze.â Her voice was hoarse and weak. âWhat do you mean?â
âI did promise not to disturb you again, but that doesnât mean Iâll allow you to be with another man.â Qiao Yanze bit his cheek until it hurt. âTell him to get lost.â
As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Qin Hongyu.
Li Yinian bit her lips angrily.
âWhy?â She said hoarsely. âQiao Yanze, youâre getting engagedâ¦â
âThatâs fake,â Qiao Yanze interrupted her. His tone was extremely calm. âThe eldest daughter of Yunshi Corporation is a very suitable shield. With her around, my brothers and sisters will focus on stopping me from being with her and wonât come looking for trouble with you. The engagement wonât succeed. Even if I want to, my best friends wonât allow it.â
With that, he laughed mysteriously.
Li Yinianâs lips moved, but she couldnât say anything.
......
âTell him to get lost,â Qiao Yanze repeated, his gaze still fixed on her. âI have something to tell you.â
âI have nothing to say to you.â Li Yinian looked down. âDoctor Qin is my friend. I invited him to be my guest. You have no right to criticize my guest.â
Qin Hongyu seemed to have gained some strength and confidence because of this sentence.
âThatâs right!â he said loudly. âYouâre the one who should leave. Donât you realize that Yinian doesnât welcome you at all?â
Qiao Yanze swallowed and suddenly laughed. âIf I say that Iâve found something interesting recently thatâs related to your background⦠Are you still speechless?â
Li Yinianâs expression changed. Not only did she lose all her radiance, but she also felt a sense of panic that was close to despair.
This reaction made the obscureness in Qiao Yanzeâs eyes deepen.
âYinianâ¦â Qin Hongyu was still standing behind the two of them. He couldnât see Li Yinianâs expression, but he realized something from her shaky back.
He sounded more careful and pleading.
Li Yinian closed her eyes and said hoarsely, âHongyu⦠Sorry, I canât let you stay today.â
âBut the food in the kitchen is already halfway doneâ¦â Qin Hongyu fought for it.
Li Yinian clenched her fists. After a while, she suddenly made up her mind. âOkay, please continue cooking. Iâll be back later to eat⦠Letâs talk outside.â
She said the last sentence to Qiao Yanze.
Qiao Yanzeâs pupils contracted to the extreme, as if he couldnât believe that this woman was really protecting Qin Hongyu to this extent.
The smile on his lips became even more sinister.
âSounds good.â
The man didnât move as he spoke.
Li Yinian grabbed his wrist and led him out of the door.
Qiao Yanze looked down at the womanâs slender hand. He flipped his wrist and grabbed her hand tightly.
