Chapter 408: A Touch of Softness

After Xue Qi finished speaking, she looked up at the man opposite her.

Yin Dong looked at her steadily. In his dark eyes, there was a chilling chill as if a typhoon had blown through him. Xue Qi could no longer see through him.

"Every word I said is true. You can have someone check to see if I've been living like a prisoner for the past five years. I've never lied to you, Yin Dong. I'd even die for you, so how could I bear to lie to you? Don't you remember the three years we were together, the thousands of days and nights? For me, that's the most unforgettable memory of my life."

Yin Dong's face was obviously restless, and his tone became obviously heavier. "Have you said enough? If you have, then get out. I have said that these things are over with me."

He took out a cigarette irritably, stood up from his seat and turned his back to her.

Xue Qi looked at the man's tall figure close to her and tried her best to suppress the urge to go forward and hug him.

Xue Qi knew too well that he was not just saying one thing but thinking another.

He didn't tell her to get out again, and she tacitly accepted that he was allowing her to continue.

"You always tell me not to talk about the past. You don't want to see me, just because you don't know how to face me, right? Our three-year relationship has become a victim of our parents' power struggle. Can you really move on? Why can't I move on? I will never forget that when you were most emotional, you said you loved me in bed. I know you even bought an engagement ring..."

Xue Qi's voice gradually choked, her eyes were misty, and she stared at the man with his back to her.

As if she was afraid of being annoyed by him, she tried her best to control her emotions. "For the past five years, I've still been standing there, dreaming that one day I'd be able to stand in front of you again and clear up all the misunderstandings. Yin Dong, I've never given up on our relationship. Can you look back at me?"

A series of creaking sounds echoed in the empty office. Xue Qi unbuttoned his shirt and then opened his collar, revealing a haughty little snake tattoo on his fair shoulder. It was exactly the same as the one on Yin Dong's shoulder before.

Her eyes were fixed on his back, but she waited for one second, two seconds, three seconds... One minute passed, and he didn't even turn his head, only white smoke slowly dissipated from in front of him.

Her skin was exposed to the cool air, making her shiver.

"Put on your clothes."

His low, dull voice mixed with the familiar smell of nicotine floated over, and although it was emotionless, it felt like a soothing balm to her.

Xue Qi slowly buttoned up her clothes, raised her head again, and said slowly: "I saw your official announcement, and I envy her because I have never enjoyed such treatment from you. But does that woman really love you? As far as I know, she has been in contact with Yan Yiru. The reason why Yan Yiru is still with Xue Shan is nothing more than trying to gather evidence against him for her. Compared to loving you, I'm afraid she loves herself more. In her heart, revenge is more important than anything else. If she is asked to give up revenge for you, what do you think she will choose?"

After she finished speaking, Yin Dong finally turned around, but his eyes were filled with a cold glint, filled with disdain and contempt that seemed to see through everything. His voice was even more contemptuous, "Xue Peng's divisive tactic wasn't very effective. But you, on the other hand, were used by your father five years ago, and now you're being used as a tool by Xue Peng. Does that mean your Xue family can only use you? Xue Qi, considering that shot, I'm reminding you to go back to your country and don't get involved with Xue Peng, lest I accidentally hurt you."

After Xue Qi left, Zhou Zhi was called into Yin Dong's office.

Zhou Zhi looked at him and saw that his face was very bad. He was just wondering what Xue Qi had said when he heard Yin Dong order him, "Go check what she had been doing abroad for the past five years."

Zhou Zhi was stunned because it was a bit unexpected. In fact, after Xue Qi just went abroad, Yin Dong asked him to check on Xue Qi's movements, but he only followed her for half a year and never checked again.

Why is he suddenly going back to that past? It's impossible that just because Xue Qi came to see Yin Dong and stayed here for quite a while, Yin Dong would start to miss the old times, right?

Zhou Zhi agreed, and then couldn't wait to say, "I have something to tell you just now, don't be angry."
