"I'm going back tomorrow. Someone from home will come to pick me up. What about you?"

Thinking of the impending separation, Xiao Qi became sentimental again.

"I might stay for a while longer; I need to take care of some things. Um, you know about Cui Xueling's situation, right?"

Jing Li hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Xiao Qi nodded silently, "That's her own fault, she deserves it. Don't worry, I'll keep the fact that we met her a secret."

He also knew that if outsiders found out that Cui Xueling's death was related to them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Do you hate her?

"I don't hate anymore. Hating someone is too tiring and pointless."

Xiao Qi smiled nonchalantly.

All the hatred and love for Cui Xueling vanished the moment she raised her gun and pulled the trigger on Jing Li.

Love is the foundation of hate.

Without love, how can there be hate?

Even if he doesn't hate her, it doesn't mean he will forgive everything she did.

Everyone has to pay for their mistakes; Cui Xueling is one, and so is he.

Cui Xueling paid with her life.

What he lost was the chance to love her!

"Next time you fall in love, remember to keep your eyes open."

Jing Li smiled and offered her blessings.

Will I fall in love again?

After meeting someone as wonderful as you, I'm afraid I'll never be able to fall in love with anyone else in my life...

"I will... I'm leaving now, you get some rest."

Feeling a sense of loss, Xiao Qi didn't want her to feel guilty, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

At the doorway, Fei Mo leaned lazily against the wall, a cigarette dangling from her lips and a bowl of porridge in her hand. Hearing the sound, she looked up at him.

Seeing him come out, he put out his cigarette and was about to walk past him into the room.

Xiao Qi suddenly grabbed his hand, "From now on...be nicer to her."

Fei Mo sneered, "My woman, I will naturally treat her well, it's none of your business to point fingers."

"Not strangers... but friends. Fei Mo, I like Jing Li, no, I should say I love her. If you dare to treat her badly, I swear, I will do everything in my power to win her back!"

With unwavering determination in his eyes, Xiao Qi spoke emphatically.

"Don't worry, I won't give you that chance. Thank you for saving her."

With a slight smile, Fei Mo entered the room.

'Snap—'

With the door closed, the three were completely isolated.

From this day forward, they will be two parallel lines that will never intersect...

He was completely convinced of his defeat when facing this man.

With a light laugh and a shake of his head, Xiao Qi didn't linger. After so many years of this life, it was time for him to start a new chapter.

"Fei Mo, have you told Auntie and my mom that you're safe?"

Worried that Jing Yu and Ye Su would miss her, Jing Li asked.

"Don't worry, I already told them I didn't tell them about your injury. Jing Yang will be coming with us on this trip back to China. You can spend some time with him and develop a father-daughter relationship. You can stay with him for now. Of course, I'll stay too."

As Fei Mo spoke, she went to the bathroom to get water for her to wash her face and brush her teeth.

"Give me your phone, I want to call my family."

Jing Li took the toothbrush and started brushing her teeth, her speech unclear.

She still felt she needed to personally let them know she was safe.

Without realizing it, she had come to regard this world as her own, and Jing Yu, Shen Yuanfan, and even the Fei family were all her relatives.

"No rush, let's eat first. I heard from Xiao Qi that they didn't give you any food before, just to annoy you. You must be starving. They let you go out without reporting to me. If I had known your trip was to D country, I definitely wouldn't have let you come. You idiot, you walked right into their trap..."
