C55 (1/2)

She was ashamed to think that she always thought he was there and had been talking to the air for hours. She wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

”Then... Why do you never show up? Are you ugly? ” She was just guessing, hoping he wouldn't be angry.

”Me?” He raised a hand to touch his face, and then chuckled softly. I'm just not used to being seen by others. I don't know why. ”

Qiao Xinran did not quite understand, but she did not pursue the matter any further. Originally, people were not the same as people. Everyone had their own secrets and their own habits and habits.

”If you're not used to being seen by others, then when I see you in the future, I'll close my eyes. However, you have to promise me that you won't run away when you see me again, okay? ”I almost took you for a flower spirit.” She said with some dissatisfaction.

”Alright, I agree.” He nodded.

Qiao Xinran looked down and could see his figure overlapping with her, looking extremely intimate.

”You don't look happy today. What happened? ” he asked softly, still holding her shoulder.

She smiled bitterly, ”Yes, a lot has really happened today. My father was captured by Han Mo, and Madam Qiao went bankrupt as well. As for me, I lost my pride to beg him, so he agreed to let my father go. Am I useless? ”

He was silent and did not speak. However, Qiao Xinran could feel his sadness because the strength of the hands he used to support her shoulder was increasing and actually causing her to feel some pain from holding it.

”Han Mo...” As he mumbled these two words, a dark and cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He was so unscrupulous when doing things, and so ruthless when doing things. He actually forced someone into such a corner!

”En, he is called Han Mo, the owner of this villa. Do you know him?” She had been curious since a long time ago. This man had always been here, and this place was where the Han's Residence resided. This greenhouse was once built by Han Mo's mother, so it was likely that he had some sort of relationship with the Han family.

The man did not answer her question. Instead, he asked her, ”What is your relationship with Han Mo?”

”Me and him? Hehe … How should he put it? In the eyes of outsiders, I married him for money. But do you know? My stepmother signed a private agreement with him and sold me to him. Even the wedding, I attended alone. And now, in order to save my father, there's been a dirty deal between him and I … ”

As she spoke, it was as if she was talking about someone else. She wasn't sad at all. He didn't know if it was because his tears had dried up or because his heart had been broken, he couldn't even feel his heart ache.

”How could he do this to you?”

She heard his voice, and it hurt.

Suddenly, his heart felt warm. He was actually concerned for her and feeling sad for her.

”It's nothing. I can endure whatever he does to me. ”As long as I can save my father, I can do anything …”

”Don't worry, your father will definitely be fine.” Then, he raised his hand and covered her eyes from behind.

She could feel the faint scent of ink on his long fingers. The warmth of the sun was like the autumn afternoon's rays, soothing the wounds in her heart.

He bent down and kissed her lightly on the cheek, one hand still over her eyes, the other around her neck from behind, pulling her into his arms.

His arms were so wide, so warm, so safe.

The corner of Qiao Xinran's mouth didn't seem to reveal a brilliant smile.

”Everything will be over. The beautiful tomorrow will come …” He put his lips to her ear and whispered.
