Time is the best healer. She thought that after a few years, Qiao Qian'an's unfulfilled desire would be completely let go.
"Mo Mo...does it have to be this way?" Qiao Qian'an closed his eyes and said with great difficulty, each word distinct and difficult.
Does it have to be this heartless?
Are there no other solutions among them?
He never threatened her with anything.
"Yes." Mo Xiaoqing lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, casting a shadow under her eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in them.
Mo Xiaoqing opened the door and said one last thing, "I'm sorry, and thank you too."
She's sorry, she can't reciprocate his feelings!
I also thank him for protecting her with his life when she was in danger...
Qiao Qian'an watched helplessly as Mo Xiaoqing left without looking back. He wanted to get out of bed to chase after her, but he could only clutch his chest and gasp for breath. This strong and unyielding man, who had never yielded to pain, cried like a helpless child for the first time.
It's like I'm going to cry out all the tears I'll ever shed in this lifetime.
"Momo...Momo."
What he needed was never a thank you or an apology...
He didn't ask for much, just to be by her side. It didn't matter if she didn't love him, as long as he could see her every day.
But why won't they even give him this opportunity...?
The saddest thing in this world isn't that I stand in front of you and you don't know I love you, but that I've stood in front of you for so many years without daring to say I love you, and even... in the end, I still couldn't avoid being rejected!
Momo, you only know that you like him, but you don't know that I love you to the bone. Never see you again... This is not to tear out his heart!
He never dared to hope that she would fall in love with him, but he also never imagined that she would be so heartless.
Momo, Momo, what should she do?
In the future, there will never be anyone in this vast sea of people who can make him unable to let go, forget, or even control himself like her!
Wearing a light blue shirt and black suit pants, he leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed, waiting for Mo Xiaoqing.
"Are you done talking?"
Mo Xiaoqing nodded, "Yes, I've said everything I needed to say in one go."
Now they just need to wait for Aunt Qiao and the others to come back before they leave.
Ji Muhan gave a nonchalant smile, clearly satisfied with her words.
"Because I know you're petty. Haven't you been worrying about these things these past two days? If I don't finish dealing with these things quickly, I'm afraid you'll run away."
Ji Muhan chuckled and tapped her forehead. "Where could I possibly run off to?"
My heart is with her, where else could it possibly go?
This wicked yet clever little fox had his heart firmly in her grasp. He had questioned her and even considered... hardening his heart to forget her!
However, the final results were all unsatisfactory, so why not take a gamble?
If he wins, everyone will be happy; if he loses, he won't complain or blame others.
Even if Shen Shaolin's words meant that not everyone would be like his parents, he wanted to take a gamble because he wouldn't be a father, and Momo wouldn't be a mother.
They didn't know each other well enough or trust each other enough in the first place.
But he wouldn't do that. If he made a mistake at any point, he would guide Momo. He was nine years older than her, so he would definitely be the one to take full responsibility for this relationship!
"How would I know that you were arguing with me yesterday because of Shen Shaolin?"
Although Ji Muhan's face showed a slight blush, she coughed lightly.
"Hanhan, how can you be so cute!"
Mo Xiaoqing hugged him tightly, her cheeks unconsciously rubbing against his chest, as if she wanted to bury her face in his chest.
Are you feeling upset?
"I don't know. I have five older brothers. My biological brother is the one you met last time. My third brother is my cousin. You haven't met the other three cousins yet!"
Although Ji Muhan didn't know why Mo Xiaoqing suddenly brought this up with him, he still listened to what she had to say with a gentle expression.
“When I was little, my brothers were a bit annoyed by my personality. You don’t know, I was a bit frail when I was little. It wasn’t like it is now. My parents strictly forbade me from going out to play. But I always liked my third brother and my cousins to take me out to play.”
"later…"
"Actually, none of these things are important. Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao are good friends of my parents. The two families are not only neighbors, but also family friends."
Actually, he wasn't stupid. When she was little, she could already understand what adults were thinking, but she didn't take it to heart back then.
Especially as Qiao Qian'an's attitude towards her worsened, she became more and more at ease.
“But in my heart, Qiao Qian’an and my brother are of equal importance.”
Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings?
Regardless of the fact that she and Qiao Qian'an had been arguing for nearly ten years, she was not a cold-hearted person after all.
"Hanhan, can you hug me?"
Mo Xiaoqing stretched out her hands to him, her expressive eyes fixed on him without blinking.
Even though there wasn't much emotion in her eyes, Ji Muhan could still sense the melancholy and depression in her heart.
This is the sixth sense that comes with being a special forces soldier.
Ji Muhan's gaze remained calm as he stepped forward, answering her question with his actions.
His strong arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, while his other right hand gently stroked the back of her head.
“I have already made it clear to him that I will never have any contact with him again.”
