Chapter 435: The Trick
Xue Qi lowered her eyes, placed the cup of water on the marble coffee table in front of him, and sat down opposite him.
She whispered, "I didn't expect you to come."
Yin Dong raised his eyes and looked at her, "What important thing do you want to tell me?"
Xue Qi looked away and her eyes fell on the tea table next to the sofa. There was a photo frame there, which was a couple's photo taken when they went skiing in Switzerland. In the photo, both of them were wearing thick ski suits, and she was lying on his back. Although he had helplessness in his eyes, the corners of his lips could not hide his doting on the woman on him, and she smiled brightly.
"Do you remember this photo?"
Yin Dong glanced at it casually and then looked away.
Xue Qi murmured, "That was my first time learning to ski. My butt was bruised and battered. I could barely walk, but you insisted on carrying me for a full kilometer before we could leave the ski resort."
Yin Dong looked down at the exquisite cufflinks on his suit sleeve and interrupted her directly, "Don't you feel embarrassed to talk about the past? What do you want to say?"
Xue Qi's face froze for a moment, then she raised her eyes and stared straight at him, "Yin Dong, is there still a chance for us two?"
Yin Dong's eyes rolled several times and he remained silent.
According to his temper, since he didn't refuse outright, it meant he agreed.
Xue Qi was almost overjoyed. She stood up and walked over to him and sat down next to him. "Yin Dong, I know you can come today, but you just can't let me go, right? Can we start over?"
Yin Dong's lips twitched, his gaze fixed on the cufflinks. After two seconds of silence, he tilted his head and said, "How can I start over with you? Xue Guangkun framed my father, so do I still have to call him 'father-in-law'?"
He stared at her with a stern look in his eyes. She couldn't hold on any longer and turned her head away, saying, "If you don't want to see him, I can break off relations with him."
Yin Dong snorted coldly, "Xue Qi, how can you make me believe that this isn't another one of his schemes? He used you once and he's done it a second time. Do you think you can use me and it will work every time?"
Xue Qi looked panicked, "No, I came to see you, he doesn't know."
Yin Dong reached out and tugged at his collar, his tone irritated: "You used me twice, am I a fool in your eyes?"
Xue Qi reached out and hugged his arm, "Yin Dong, believe me, I was forced by the Xue family."
Yin Dong's eyes darkened, and he opened his collar a little more. Xue Qi was too close to him, and he resisted the urge to push her away. However, the scent on her body was very strong. His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became a little hoarse. The fierceness in his aura disappeared, and inexplicably there was a little tenderness in his voice. "Aren't you a member of the Xue family? Why did they force you to do this?"
"I'm not."
Xue Qi shook her head and sat closer to him. "Yin Dong, you said that if I wasn't Xue Guangkun's daughter, you would give me another chance. I'm telling you now, I was adopted by him and Zhang Ning. I grew up in the Xue family, but I've always been different from Xue Shan. I've never felt unselfish love in the Xue family. It was you who made me feel what it feels like to be truly loved. Yin Dong, the three years I've been with you have been the happiest three years of my life so far..."
Xue Shan continued to speak, but Yin Dong just felt restless and irritable. Suddenly, the image of Jiang Yuan lying on the bed appeared in his mind.
He unconsciously quickened his breathing, and the collar of his shirt was torn open again. At this moment, he wished he could pour a basin of ice water on him to keep his brain rational.
In a trance, he heard the woman beside him say, "Yin Dong, I love you."
This voice sounds very similar to Jiang Yuan's.
He turned his head suddenly and saw that Xue Qi had taken off her cardigan, leaving only a white vest.
Yin Dong's eyes were sharp, and a dark tide surged in his dim pupils.
