ting your talent if you didn't go to the public relations department."This mouth, all pompous and self-important, with one excuse after another.Speaking of this, Fu Yan thought of something. She had w...In the darkness, Li Qin pressed her hand against the man's face to stop his kiss, her finger reaching for the switch beside her. With a click, the lights came on.

A handsome face flushed with alcohol was right before my eyes.

The sporty glasses on the man's nose brushed against Li Qin's forehead, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She frowned, "How did you get here"

"Why can't I come" Qi Ce stared straight at Li Qin's face, his eyes filled with only her.

Drenched in an infatuation that bordered on obsession, the reunion was a stark contrast to their previous encounter in a dimly lit backroom. They were unrecognizable from each other.

How did you get in

Qi Ce let out a low chuckle. "I can easily come and go from your uncle's ward, entering your room is no big deal."

After he finished speaking, he saw Li Qin's face turn pale in an instant. He immediately changed his words and said harshly: "No, he doesn't deserve to be your uncle, he's a beast!"

"Enough!" Li Qinru pushed him away as if she had been startled, taking a few steps back. The emotions in her eyes gradually subsided, "While it's still early and the nanny hasn't found you, leave quickly."

"Are you so afraid of me being discovered"

Qi Ce's eyes were filled with a dark and sorrowful emotion as he said, "You're afraid Ah Zheng will find out Your eyes, your heart, they only have him! Don't tell me you actually want to marry him!"

"You're overthinking it." Li Qin walked away without looking back.

Unable to see the expression on her face, Qi Ce walked up to her and said, "Then look into my eyes and tell me."

Li Qin took a deep breath, her eyes reddening inch by inch, "I didn't want to marry him. What was my purpose in going back to his side You know."

"Xiao Qin," Qi Ce couldn't bear to see her upset, he felt a pang of heartache immediately, clutching her hand and pressing it against his chest. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pressured you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be angry with me."

"I'm not mad at you. You were drunk, and I was worried you wouldn't sleep well and get a headache later, so I told you to go back." Li Qin's voice softened, her thumb gently stroking the reddened corners of his eyes from drinking.

Suddenly, the man pulled her into his arms, his chin rubbing against her neck and shoulders. "Do you care about me"

Li Qin's body stiffened slightly.

She remained impassive, smiling faintly and saying, “Of course I care for you. Only you are with me in heart.”

The man held her tighter, greedily inhaling her scent. "After you've avenged the Huo family, I'll take you away with me. We'll go abroad. You like Santorini, don't you We'll settle there. Your health isn't good, I'll take care of you for life."

Li Qin's eyes seemed like a still, dead sea, with no ripples or waves. "Alright," she said.

His mind was racing with desire, he leaned in to kiss her face, but she deftly dodged him. "Go back and get some rest," she said softly, "otherwise you'll have a headache tomorrow. Be good, listen to me."

Qi Ce held her hand and kissed her on the back of her hand, "Okay, I know. I'll go back to sleep right away."

The bedroom door opened and shut again, the man vanishing into the mansion like a ghost.

Li Qin's original gentle smile vanished in an instant.

A pale face, devoid of any expression, like a puppet.

She walked to the window and opened both panes, then flung open the bedroom door. The air circulated, with a cold wind howling in and sweeping away all traces of the man's scent.

Back at the bedside, the moment she lifted the blanket, she smelled a faint whiff of alcohol. Looking at the pillows on the bed, the other person was lying on her bed with the pillow she had been using in her arms.

The nanny got up to use the restroom and saw that the light was on upstairs. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and went upstairs, discovering that the master bedroom door was ajar.

She hurried forward, only to see Li Qin facing away from her, taking off the pillowcase. "Miss Li..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Qin suddenly threw her pillow to the ground and rolled over her blanket, tossing it aside as well. With a blank expression, she said, "Throw all of this away."ering to herself about how she had to go there personally..."She furrowed her brow, trying hard to remember.At that time, Miss Li asked her to go heat up another cup of milk. As she took the cup and t...
