Especially at this moment, in the darkness of the night, this feeling seems to be etched deep into the bone marrow.
Chai Xiyang is in a gloomy mood, staring at the book without able to concentrate on a single word.
Frustrated, he throws the book aside, just as the hospital room door suddenly swings openâ
Then he sees Qiao Ning standing there, panting, her eyes red and unblinking as she stares at him!
Heâs not sure how she made it here; she is barely dressed, with just a thin, light grey sweater on.
Her hair is messy, as is her breath.
Seeing her in this state, Chai Xiyangâs dark eyes flicker, but the words that come out of his mouth are icy cold, âWhat are you doing here? Get out!â
Tears instantly well up in Qiao Ningâs eyes.
All the way here, she refused to believe he was sick, but now seeing him like this, she had to admit that it was true.
As though she didnât hear what he just said, Qiao Ning slowly approaches him, the tears in her eyes on the verge of falling.
Chai Xiyang narrows his eyes in displeasure, âQiao Ning, I told you to leave, didnât you hear me?!â
Qiao Ning shakes her head, bows it and closes her eyes, allowing the tears to fall, drop by drop onto the floor.
Then, she starts to cry, the sorrow overwhelming.
Chai Xiyangâs expression becomes increasingly dark, the veins on his forehead throbbing with restrained emotion.
âShut upââ he snaps impatiently, but itâs of no use, Qiao Ning only cries harder.
She doesnât want to cry, but she feels so miserable.
Thinking about Chai Xiyang dying, she feels as though her heart is being ripped out, and no matter what she does, she canât stop the grief welling up from the depths of her heart, she canât even utter a word.
All she can do is cry with despairâ¦
Chai Xiyang never expected her to cry like this, he scoffs: âEnough, spare me your hypocrisy, it wonât work on me!â
Qiao Ning, crouching on the floor and sobbing, asks: âHow could this happen, brother, how could this happenâ¦â
âIsnât this perfect, once Iâm dead, everything of the Chai family will be yours and your motherâs!â Chai Xiyang retorts sarcastically.
Head shaking in pain, Qiao Ning says, âI donât want any of it, I just want you to live wellâ¦â
âEnough, you better leave now, donât make me call security to kick you out!â Chai Xiyang has had enough; he doesnât want to hear another word from her, he doesnât want to argue with her.
Qiao Ning shakes her head; she doesnât want to leave, afraid that if she does, he might slip away at any moment.
But Chai Xiyangâs patience has reached its limit, he snaps an order, âSomebody, get her out of here!â
Qiao Ning freezes for a moment before two bodyguards walk in and forcibly pull her out.
Qiao Ning doesnât resist, she knows Chai Xiyang doesnât want to see her, but even after being dragged out, she doesnât leave.
She just sits there on a chair outside the door, hugging herself and crying quietly.
Even though her sobs are soft, even though the hospitalâs soundproofing is decent, somehow Chai Xiyang still hears her.
Annoyed, he decides to switch off the lights and sleep.
But in the darkness, his hearing becomes more acute.
Chai Xiyang stares at the ceiling, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips, sheâs such a hypocrite!
Yes, ever since he was set up and betrayed years ago, he could no longer trust Qiao Ning.
Over the years, he treated Qiao Ning rather poorly, yet she maintained a naïve love for him, regardless of how much he tortured her. That only made him more suspicious of her motives and schemes.
Can any woman truly be so loyal, so unregretting?
He doesnât believe that just their childhood friendship would make her love him so deeply.
The time they spent in love was brief; most of their relationship was more brotherly and sisterly.
