Chapter 9: Hickey

Translator: Wu Yufan

Proofreader: Liang Yaping

Qin Zheng stared at the woman in front of him, whom he had only been apart from for seven months, but they were so alienated that they seemed to have been separated for seven years.

Undeniably.

Both he and she had changed.

Ji Xiaoli was no longer the sweetheart who liked clinging to him, and she looked at him more indifferently than a stranger did!

Qin Zheng felt heartache.

Although it was him who decided to break up first, he regretted now. Compared with the little girl who did not know how to dress up herself before, she seemed to have been different, so beautiful and charming now.

But he had chosen Ji Xuewei.

“If it’s all right, I’ll go now.”Ji Xiaoli had nothing to reminisce with the man, and she didn’t think that men and women could be simple friends without any sexual thought after breaking up.

She was so averse to that.

“Wait.” He went toward her and grabbed her wrist in a trance, as if he recollected that night before they broke up.

“Qin Zheng! Is it true? Do you really fall in love with Xuewei?”

“Qin Zheng! Please tell me why, and what does the four years mean to you? Who on earth am I in your eyes?”

“Qin Zheng, I am really just the adopted daughter of Ji family and I even don’t know where my natural parents are…But I know that I can not compare with the status of Ji Xuewei. She is professor Ji’s biological daughter, and you two make a great match! Just because of that, you abandoned me?”

“Since this is your choice, I will never pester you!”

Qin Zheng did not know whether he should force a smile. In the following seven months, whenever they met, she always kept away from him, keeping her promise.

‘Never pester him again!’

“Xiaoli, do you still hate me? So you don’t want to see me or talk to me?”Ji Xiaoli raised her eyes, wearing a sneer on her lips: “Why should I hate you? Hating a person is such a waste of time and energy, and we broke up as early as half a year ago. You have your Ji Xuewei. Without you, I am not unable to live…”

“You are nobody.”

“Without you, I can have someone else!”

Qin Zheng paled,“Why are you here? I just came back from a business trip, and instead of coming home, I came here. If it wasn’t for me, why did you come here?”

Qin Zheng and Qin Zhenyang had a good relationship. Qin Zhenyang was the youngest son of the Qin family and a senior officer of the army. Qin Zheng admired him most.

Many people in the family were in the army. When it came to the generation of Qin Zhenyang, the Qin family had mainly gone into business. Qin Zhenyang was often reticent and acted uprightly. As long as he came back from the business trip, Qin Zheng rarely went home but chose to spend a night at this villa.

It was beyond his expectation to meet Ji Xiaoli here.

Ji Xiaoli seemed to listen to a joke. The sneer in her eyes could not be hidden,“You and I have gotten along with each other for such a long time, and you must know my character. Do you think that I will break into the villa just for a man who betrayed me before, even running the risk of being arrested by the security guard as an offender?”

Qin Zheng could not say a word at one time.
