Chapter 54

Qiao Mu tilted her head as she stared at the face that had remained as handsome as it did ten years ago. She could not hold back the confusion within her as she asked, “Uncle, why did you go abroad without saying a word?”

Li Yan’s eyes slightly darkened as his cold gaze fixed on her face.

This was her first time mentioning their past ever since their reunion. Twice even, she had failed to recognize him.

Just like how they met for the first time on the cruise, the relationship between them started because he had caught her doing something wrong.

She did not mention the past, so he had not mentioned it either. There were some bad memories that he was unwilling to recall.

His gaze fixed intently on her, and he sounded like he was questioning her, “You’re only asking it now? Qiao Mu, do you even care?”

Qiao Mu clenched both hands into fists. She nervously waited for his answer, but she only got this in return.

Did she even care?

Just like what Lu Jingzhi said, she was just an insignificant child back then.

Her heart throbbed in pain as she smiled indifferently, “Just forget about it if uncle doesn’t want to talk about it. After all, it’s already in the past.”

That pair of black eyes suddenly darkened, and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. Her indifference had infuriated him beyond words.

When he left without saying goodbye back then, was she also this indifferent?

The atmosphere in the car turned glacial.

Qiao Mu lowered her head. She somewhat regretted plucking at the wrong string and ruining the atmosphere.

The man beside her suddenly got closer, and before Qiao Mu could realize what was happening, he had sealed her lips with a kiss.

Qiao Mu widened her eyes in shock. His kiss was overbearing and powerful, as his lips and tongue did what he wished without restraint in her mouth, and she quickly lost resistance.

The anger in Li Yan’s heart would not dissipate, as the heat swarmed up in his chest, he found it difficult to breathe.

Kissing her fiercely with all his might seemed to remedy it.
