A camel-colored ankle-length coat is elegant and generous.

The black hair was tied up loosely, making the delicately made-up face look even more gentle and charming.

Zhao Qingkong sat directly opposite Tang Mulin.

That was the seat where Chu Jinnian had just sat.

"Why doesn't Miss Tang go back to Sicheng to celebrate the New Year?"

Zhao Qingkong asked casually without intending to get Tang Mulin's answer. He looked at Tang Mulin with a smile and said, "In this way, Jin Nian won't have to stay alone in Paris."

Jinnian.

Tang Mulin recalled the time in Sicheng Hospital when Zhao Qingkong leaned over and hugged him naturally.

And the scene of her whispering in Chu Jinnian's ear.

Tang Mulin thought she had long forgotten what happened in the hospital, but at this moment, that scene appeared clearly in her mind.

She even remembered the crystal tears that rolled down Zhao Qingkong's eyes when he hugged Chu Jinnian.

She must love him very much, right? Otherwise, why would she call him Jinnian so naturally? What about him? What would he call Zhao Qingkong? Miss Zhao? Or... Qingkong? I have been alone in Paris for too long and have long been accustomed to being surrounded by only those faces with obvious Western characteristics.

And Chu Jinnian.

At this moment, even though it was not very familiar, it was the same oriental face.

Tang Mulin felt as if his secret had been revealed, and a flash of panic flashed through his heart. "Are you okay? If not, I..."

"Miss Tang!"

The action of getting up suddenly stopped at Zhao Qingkong's steady voice. Tang Mulin heard Zhao Qingkong's cold voice, "You don't love him at all, do you?"

"You..." Nonsense! In this world, no one loves him more than me!

But Tang Mulin didn't even have the chance to finish his words before he was interrupted by Zhao Qingkong.

"You only love yourself!"

Zhao Qingkong said coldly: "Have you ever cared about his safety and his feelings?"

"Fortunately, he won and successfully got everything he wanted. But what if he lost? Can you and the Tang family help him make a comeback? No, you can't. You are so selfish that you can only see yourselves. You don't care how he endured those difficulties alone and how he licked his wounds alone."

"You were angry, so you hid far away in Paris. But have you ever thought about him? He just got what he wanted back, and the huge Chu family is waiting for him to take care of it. He has to accompany you and coax you during the day, and when you fall asleep, he has to deal with domestic affairs, appease the restless people, and plan his career with all his heart and soul."

"And you..."

Zhao Qingkong looked at Tang Mulin with hatred, "What did you do for him?"

"Don't you think that just saying you love him and staying by his side is enough?"

Tang Mulin's face turned pale.

The dull pain in my ankle is getting worse and worse.

"Miss Tang, please forgive me for being blunt..."

His eyes fell on the cappuccino that Chu Jinnian had not finished drinking. Zhao Qingkong curled his lips and revealed a sneer, "You and him are not suitable!"

This is why Zhao Qingkong appeared in front of her.

That's the point she wants to make, right? "So?"

Tang Mulin looked at Zhao Qingkong, "You don't mean to say that you are the most suitable person for him, do you?"

"certainly."

Facing Tang Mulin's scrutinizing gaze without dodging, Zhao Qingkong said elegantly: "I am the one who should stand beside him, and only me!"

"Help him take back the Chu Group, and help him protect the Chu Group. Stand shoulder to shoulder with him and help him do what he wants to do, instead of becoming his weak point and holding him back."

Zhao Qingkong said in a deep voice, his eyes flickered slightly, "You don't know that Jin Nian was injured last time because of you, right?"

Tang Mulin came back to his senses in shock, "What did you say?"
