Chapter 218: Years of Mistakes Finally Wake Up
Ji Bingqian hummed, and his eyes moved away from the two people downstairs and fell back on Xu Yueqing's face.
The profile of her face is clean and cool.
There were no tears, no anger, and he was so calm as if he was watching something that had nothing to do with him.
Noticing Ji Bingqian's inquiring gaze, Xu Yueqing suddenly smiled.
"He just came to me."
"Something insignificant."
"I gave him the USB drive."
Ji Bingqian's eyebrows twitched.
Xu Yueqing lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes.
She continued, "But after he looked at the contents of the USB drive, he still chose to believe Xu Yingluo."
"I just suddenly felt that it was a bit ironic."
It was a satire on her own blindness and inattention over the past five years, as well as on Jiang Chejin's ridiculous and self-righteous affection.
Ji Bingqian looked at the woman beside him. She was so thin, and her shoulders were so frail that they seemed like they would break if bent.
But at this moment, he felt that her spine was straighter than anyone else's.
Silence spread between the two of them, and Ji Bingqian asked a question for some unknown reason.
"Are you angry that he doesn't trust you?"
This question was asked directly and abruptly.
Xu Yueqing was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at Ji Bingqian.
She shook her head, and her eyes were so frank that Ji Bingtian was a little surprised.
"Not angry at all."
Her voice was calm, as if she was stating a simple fact.
"I can't interfere with other people's thoughts, nor can I force them to believe me."
She paused, her gaze returning to the window.
"I just feel..."
Her voice softened, carrying a hint of melancholy that she herself was not aware of.
"...In this world, if someone can trust you unconditionally, it seems pretty good."
After he finished speaking, Ji Bingqian's heart seemed to be hit by something neither light nor heavy.
He looked at her slender profile, at the fragility that flashed across her eyes, which she herself had not even noticed, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
His deep voice burst into the silence without any warning.
"I believe you."
The two words were not heavy, but they struck Xu Yueqing's heart again and again.
She turned her head suddenly, her face full of surprise.
She looked straight at Ji Bingqian, as if to confirm whether she was hallucinating.
What is this man... talking about?
He was her husband by agreement and her nominal shelter, and everything between them was based on interests and transactions.
trust?
How could such a luxurious thing appear between them?
Ji Bingqian did not avoid her gaze.
His deep eyes were now looking at her intently.
He looked at her eyes filled with surprise and doubt, and repeated what he had just said word by word, as if he was taking an oath.
"From now on, no matter what happens, I will believe in you unconditionally."
This time, Xu Yueqing heard it clearly.
Every word he said seemed to carry an electric current, rushing through his eardrums and into every part of his body.
Her heart, which had been frozen for too long and she thought had lost its ability to perceive, was caught off guard and burned by these words.
She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
I could only look at him, into his bottomless eyes.
At this moment, time seemed to be slowed down.
The top floor office was so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing.
"Boom, boom."
Two untimely knocks on the door suddenly broke the atmosphere.
Xu Yueqing and Ji Bingqian were startled at the same time and looked towards the door together.
