Zhou Fengyi asked in confusion, "Dead?"
He involuntarily turned around and glanced in the direction I had come from.
"yes!"
Wang Yijin picked up his glass of red wine and took another sip.
Zhou Yifeng looked at the wine glass in his hand and asked.
"You love her?"
Wang Yijin gave a wicked smile.
"She's a strong woman I admire! And if you're talking about love, then yes, there is! I'd be willing to have her with me!"
Zhou Yifeng's lips curled up when he heard this.
"So you two have no relationship?"
He scoffed. "Really not! You can believe she didn't agree? She's the only person I've ever been rejected by in my entire life..."
"I feel like she brought me so much shame, but I don't hate her! You know me, I can't hold back my words!"
He took another sip of red wine as he spoke.
Listening to Wang Yijin's words, I felt speechless...
"Sister! Is he talking about you?"
I remained silent and did not respond.
He took her soft little hand and walked quickly toward her bedroom.
"Sweetie! It's getting late! Shall I put you to bed?"
I gently stroked her hair, my eyes full of doting affection.
I picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.
I patiently squeezed the toothpaste onto her toothbrush and filled the water with warm water. Watching her brush her teeth so earnestly, I couldn't help but smile.
After washing her up, I carried her back to bed, gently covered her with a blanket, and began to tell her a heartwarming bedtime story.
As I spoke, her small eyes gradually grew heavy, and soon she drifted off into a sweet dream.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep peacefully,
I stood up quietly, picked up my bag, and tiptoed toward the door.
When they got downstairs, they found that Wang Yijin, who was supposed to be waiting there, was nowhere to be seen.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that I could finally leave.
Just as I was about to step down the stairs, I caught a glimpse of Zhou Yifeng sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room, sipping tea.
I looked around in surprise.
I was at a loss for how to deal with this unexpected situation.
Just then, he said in his usual gentle tone, "Don't bother looking, he's already gone back! Come and sit here!"
"Uh... well, I think I'd better not sit down. It's really late now, and I need to get home quickly..." I stammered, trying to refuse, as I moved towards the door.
"After all, I've done you such a big favor. Are you not even willing to sit down and say a few words to me?" Although his words were still gentle, they seemed to carry an irresistible sense of intimidation.
Upon hearing this, I hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned around slowly, took slightly heavy steps to his side, and slowly sat down.
Zhou Yifeng turned his head slightly, looked into my eyes, and asked softly, "When he described those things about you just now, why did you seem completely unmoved?"
When he asked me that, I couldn't help but lower my head, my eyes instantly dimming and revealing an unconcealable sadness.
After a long while, I slowly opened my mouth and said, "Those are all things from a long time ago. To me, they are like a deep scar, and every time I touch them, they cause me excruciating pain."
Therefore, I would rather never mention that past... In their hearts, the me of the past has long since died, and this is the most perfect ending for us...
He smiled gently. "I've seen too many beautiful women being manipulated by them; you're the first person to have them completely fooled."
I raised my eyebrows in displeasure.
Why do you think I lied to them?
"What do they have that I would lie to?"
He scoffed dismissively. "Money?"
"The word 'deception' refers to a lie fabricated by the other party to achieve a certain goal. But I don't want to get close to any of them; I just want to stay away!"
"Meeting them was my misfortune, and what they did to me was not just deception, but also cruel abuse!"
"They deserved it!" I said, my hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
Do you want revenge?
"I don't have such grand ambitions; I'm content just to stay away from them..."
"Mr. Zhou, are you very interested in other people's lives?"
He adjusted his glasses and smiled gently.
"After all, you're my child's godmother. I need to know you well, otherwise I won't feel comfortable letting my child get too close to you!"
"..."
I replied coldly, "I...I'm very grateful for your help today, but regarding my relationship with them, I can only say it's over. The one who was connected to them is dead!"
His tone conveyed a sense of determination.
He had a gentle and refined smile on his face.
"Then, may I ask who Ms. Yao's current boyfriend is?"
I responded coldly, without any emotion, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this. It's getting late, and I really want to go home as soon as possible!"
After saying that, she ignored him.
He stood up on his own.
Seeing this, he simply waved his hand casually and ordered, "Alright, Xiao Te, arrange a car for Miss Yao!"
Immediately, a subordinate respectfully stepped forward and led me towards the door.
Just before she left, she heard his concerned words behind her: "Ms. Yao, please come visit my daughter more often when you have time. She really likes you! If you need my help in the future, you can also come to me, and I will help you!"
