C7 (2/2)
But right now, things had already changed. She could only say, against her will,
”At that time, I was too young and I didn't know what true love was!”
”No, Qi Miao, you understand. Furthermore, you still like me!” Ye Dongmo firmly interrupted her, mercilessly exposing her disguise.
”You marrying Yun Peng is something that you had no choice. Qi Ji escaped and went missing. There is no other girl in the Qi Family, so you can only marry his!”
Sensing her emotional fluctuations, Ye Dongmo softened his voice.
”Miaomiao, when I left without saying goodbye all those years ago, and confessed to you, the reason for my silence was all because of the difficulties that I had to endure!”
”I regret that I didn't give you any reply that year. Now that I'm back, don't mind if you get married and come with me, okay? ”
When he made this request again, Qi Miao's heart was beating wildly, and not only her heart, even his hands were trembling.
Did his words mean that he liked her back then as well? It was only because he was troubled by her words. If he promised her, they wouldn't be able to help each other. If he didn't agree, and couldn't face his own inner thoughts, he could only remain silent?
If she followed him, she would be able to escape from the bird cage made of golden silk.
But, no!
If she left, what would happen to the Qi's? What would happen to the first aunt that had raised her?
What about the father who had become a vegetable in the suburban sanatorium?
If she could have left, she wouldn't have agreed to marry him.
It was too late to say anything now. Furthermore, she felt that Ye Dongmo's words were ice-cold.
He didn't let her go with him because he loved her!
What could that be?
Could it be that he had a grudge with the Yun's regarding the acquisition of the Tianhai Building? Was he taking revenge on purpose?
Yun Peng would never tell her about the things that happened in the company, but he would never tell her on the phone. Qi Miao knew that on the matter of Sky Sea's purchase, Yun's had used a lot of evil methods to attack its competitors.
After a brief moment of hesitation, her delicate eyebrows raised as she resolutely said something against her will.
”I definitely won't do something like cheating during a marriage!”
No matter what Yun Peng did to her, no matter whether he truly regretted it or not, she, Qi Miao, could not do something that surpassed her moral conscience.
He didn't dare to do it!
He picked up the down jacket by his side and rushed out the door. He had forgotten to bring the medical kit that he always carried with him.
There were only a few people on the street, and the north wind was blowing.
Qi Miao's heart was in a mess, she rented a taxi and went straight to the sanatorium in the outskirts of the city.
He didn't notice the black Maybach following behind the taxi.
Ye Dongmo who was in the carriage coldly stared at the taxi in front of him, his face expressionless.
When she was helpless, the person Qi Miao wanted to see the most was his father, the man who had always held her in his hands as a treasure.
Right now, he could not speak, but as long as he was there, even if she was lying quietly down, Qi Miao felt that she could rely on it the most.
Qi Miao sat in a daze beside her father's sickbed, thinking back to many times when she was young.
At that time, the mischievous her gave her father a nickname, ”Qi Dingdang!”
Because Dad would come back every day, no matter how late, and take things out of his bag,
”Miaomiao, come over here and see what daddy bought for you.”
If it wasn't snacks for her, then it was toys. Sometimes it was braided hairpins.
Even if Qi Miao fell asleep, her father would still place the things beside the pillow for her, and she would see it the moment she woke up.
The cell phone in her pocket kept vibrating. She didn't want to bother with it. He just sat by the bedside quietly, looking at his sleeping father.
