C22 (2/2)

I dare not admit it, I am not fit to admit it.

His hands suddenly relaxed, and the fluctuating expression on his face completely disappeared. He returned to that cold and emotionless expression, as if the endless grief and pain from earlier belonged to someone else.

”Do you love me?” His voice was ethereal, but it drifted into my ear.

I started, then bit my lower lip.

If I had to sell my feelings to get my mother back, that was the only way I could do it.

Mu Chen, if you were alive, you wouldn't blame me, right?

I took a deep breath and nodded.

Bo Lengqing's eyes were once again filled with complex emotions. Then, he suddenly laughed coldly.

”You, Su Cha, are truly capable. If I had nothing, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to exchange it for your nod.”

His tone was sad, but I didn't understand.

How could someone like him, who had everything, feel the same way about someone like me, who could lose everything at any moment?

I can't keep anything, not even my own feelings.

”Go back.”

”My mom …”

”I'll think of something.”

After receiving his assurance, I immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

When the Black Hawk saw me to the elevator door, I walked in relieved. As the door closed, an unfriendly voice suddenly sounded from beside me.

”I really didn't expect him to say this.”

I turned my head around, and saw that the man I saw in Bo Lengqing's conference room not too far away from me was looking at me, looking at me like a man looking at a woman.

The look in his eyes made me feel uneasy. I consciously moved to the other side, pulling away from him.

I didn't expect him to come straight in my direction and pin me against the wall of the elevator on the other side.

”What are you doing!”

The proximity of the male hormones made me feel creepy and alert.

”Seems like Bo Lengqing didn't tell you, he still has a big brother.” The man's face revealed a rogue smile: ”My name is Bo Xiao”. As he said that, he leaned close to my ear and blew lightly in the hot air. ”It's nice to meet you.”

The elevator door opened at that moment, and Bo Xiao wiped my earlobe with his tongue.

As for me, I was disgusted by his actions for a long time.

When I got home, I washed the place close to him with water many times.

That man was the same as Bo Lengqing, who was emitting an extremely dangerous aura from head to toe, like a cobra. Once the prey was targeted by him, there was no hope of him escaping unscathed.

I don't know what kind of deal Bo Lengqing made with Su Jianguo, but in short, my mother was brought out completely unharmed. Bo Lengqing placed her in a sanatorium not far from the villa.

Just the thought of her running out of time made me burst into tears.

Her condition was much better than before, but she kept on telling me not to blame Su Jianguo, and he was just muddle-headed for a moment.

I don't want to talk about that cold-blooded and heartless man, he isn't worthy to be my father at all!

I know that my mother still has feelings for him. Otherwise, how could she willingly return with him and use her as a weapon to threaten me?

But I don't blame her.

She had done everything she could for me. She was the only person in the world who truly treated me well.

On this day, Bo Lengqing returned with an exquisite box. He passed the box to me, and when I opened it, I saw that it was a beautiful qipao with a very classical flavour.

It was the first time he had bought clothes for me.

I don't know if it was my imagination, but since the last time I said I loved him, his attitude towards me seemed to have improved a lot.

But he has been moody, and I dare not speculate.

”This is also for you.”

He casually tossed over a box. Inside was a rare dark blue gem necklace that was shaped like the Heart of the Seas.

It was the gift I had wanted most in my girlhood, and I wanted the unswerving love of the Titanic, even if it meant death.

At that time, Mu Chen gave me a ring that was engraved with our names as a necklace, telling me that whatever I wanted, he would help me achieve it in the future.

And now, I do have the Heart of the Sea, but he will never come back.

”What are you thinking?”

My thoughts were interrupted by him. I smiled as I accepted the gem. I raised my head and sincerely looked into his eyes. ”Thank you. I really like it.”

He turned his head away a little uncomfortably: ”Don't think too much. In three days, this old house will host a banquet for us... ”You better pack well, don't embarrass me.”
