âââDo you know? Our relationship isnât even the biggest obstacle. The real obstacle is⦠your long-term abstinence has exhausted your feelings for me.ââ The man said softly. ââYou no longer have any hope of being with me because all your efforts in the past few years have been to stay away from me. Thatâs why Iâm afraidâ¦ââ â
âHe looked straight at her and said, ââEven if it turns out that all of this is a misunderstanding and weâre not related by blood, you still refuse to return to my side. After all⦠youâve sacrificed too much to hide this secret. Perhaps what you canât accept is that you were wrong from the beginning.ââ â
It was the fear of uncertainty that made him lose control.
!!
âLi Yinian listened in a daze. Finally, she couldnât help but look up and meet his eyes. There was a hint of panic and confusion in her eyes. â
âââAm I right?ââ Qiao Yanze laughed softly, and the sadness in his voice intensified. â
Li Yinianâs lips moved. She only spoke after a long time.
âââBut our relationship⦠This isnât a misunderstanding. Iâve done the appraisal back then, but you refused to accept this fact.ââ â
âAs she spoke, her back straightened. â
âââMaybe the appraisal agency made a mistake. Maybe someone did something to it back then-like my mother.ââ Qiao Yanze laughed hoarsely. ââBecause youâre the child of one of Qiao Fengnianâs mistresses, she canât do anything to Qiao Fengnian, so she can only vent her anger on you and your mother⦠This is completely possible. Besides, if youâre really my sister, with Qiao Fengnianâs cautiousness, itâs impossible for him not to notice. Unless your mother had you long after she broke up with Qiao Fengnian.ââ â
âLi Yinianâs breathing gradually quickened and her pupils dilated. At this moment, she realized that Qiao Yanze was right. She didnât know if she should expect this to be a misunderstanding. â
âIf it was, wouldnât it mean that all her sacrifices and efforts were just a futile joke? â
âQiao Yanze stared at her and said, ââIf it turns out that it was my mother who did it, and you were misled from the start, are you still willing to return to my side?ââ â
âLi Yinian shook her head almost subconsciously. ââNo⦠Impossible⦠Qiao Yanze, this is just your guess!ââ â
âââDonât worry about whether this guess is possible or not.ââ Qiao Yanze laughed. ââYou just have to answer me. If weâre not related by blood, are you willing to return to my side? You just have to shake your head or nod.ââ â
âLi Yinianâs body stiffened, and she didnât give any response for a long time. â
âShe felt all the blood in her body flowing crazily, and she could only hear her own rapid breathing and intense heartbeat. â
âThe manâs eyes were filled with some self-mockery, as if he had already expected it. â
âââPerhaps in the beginning, you stayed away and hid it because you were afraid that I would mind. Then, now that you know my stand, youâre still so resistantâ¦ââ His Adamâs apple bobbed. ââYou donât want to accept the future I portrayed for you, nor do you want to believe it. At the same time, you donât have any intention of working hard or trying⦠You only want me to let you go. Thatâs all you want. You donât have the slightest reluctance to part without me. On the contrary, youâre even more relaxed and satisfied than ever. Thenâ¦ââ â
