We looked at each other silently, and I waited for his answer, but he remained silent.
It was cold, and I was shivering because I wasn't dressed warmly enough.
I was just thinking of suggesting we go up and sit down.
He suddenly turned around and walked towards his car, which was waiting to the side.
"Hey you—" I couldn't help but say, trying to stop him.
But he held back the words just as they were about to come out.
How can I persuade them to stay? What reasons should I use?
What should we do after we manage to keep them?
A lone man and woman, and exes who had recently broken up, late at night—
When these three elements come together, it's obvious what will happen.
And if those things happen, our relationship will go back to being a tangled mess.
That will make things even more complicated.
So I held back in time and forced myself to leave as well.
However, once I got home, I couldn't resist and went to the balcony to look down again.
But downstairs, there was no trace of the car.
He came quietly and left silently.
It seemed to come and go without a trace, yet it quietly took away my heart, everything I had.
The next day, I told Li Yunwei about it and asked her to help me analyze what Su Shenglin really meant.
"What else could it mean? He's worried about you! Jiangcheng is so big, with nearly 20 million people. If he didn't want to see you, he would never have run into you again in his life. But these frequent 'chance encounters,' what else do you think it means?"
Li Yunwei was speechless and gave me a good scolding over the phone.
"I don't think either of you has let go of the other, so why torture each other? Even if all external factors force you to separate, you can still secretly see each other. Who would know?"
"You're being too naive. What can't the National Security Bureau find out when they investigate a case? If they find out that I'm secretly seeing him and deliberately avoiding attention, it will only make people more suspicious of my ulterior motives."
I had insomnia last night, and I kept thinking about this problem.
These past few days, colleagues from the National Security Bureau have contacted me again.
They said that Jiang Hao's espionage case has been solved and the evidence is conclusive, and that we, as family members, will also be listed as key targets for observation.
This was practically a warning to me to behave myself and behave well. It would be best if I didn't have those kinds of thoughts, but if I did, I should nip them in the bud.
I swear I didn't, but people might not believe me.
If they find out now that I still have a relationship with Su Shenglin and that I am his "secret lover," wouldn't that be like pushing Su Shenglin into a fire pit?
So no, absolutely not.
Before I could finish talking to Li Yunwei, my phone screen switched to an incoming call.
And it was the call from Tang Xiu'e that I least wanted to answer.
I originally intended to hang up.
I'm worried that she'll turn around and cause trouble at the company again, which would have an even worse impact.
In the end, I had no choice but to answer.
"Jiang Wan, please save your dad! He suddenly collapsed and needs emergency treatment! It costs a lot of money! Please come and save him! I'm begging you..."
