Chapter 120: 086 Something is wrong! (First update) Chapter 120: 086 Something is wrong! (First update) Fang Yuxin watched the murderous intent swirling in Qiu Yiming’s eyes and knew he spoke the truth. He indeed harbored a deadly grudge against Captain Zhou! Such an attitude from Qiu Yuxin rendered her incapable of a focus, forcing her to remain silent.
They had grown up together from childhood, and as they aged, Qiu Yiming had become increasingly steady and mature, rarely losing control of his emotions or flying into a rage. Yet, yesterday and today, Qiu Yixing had lost control twice, all because of her!
To say she wasn’t moved would be a lie, but after experiencing that dream, her feelings for Qiu Yiming had long since faded. The Qiu Yiming of today felt distant and foreign, and she couldn’t find that initial thrill of romance again.
Everything in the dream was etched clearly in her mind, unforgettable, and she couldn’t face Qiu Yiming calmly. Stubborn by nature, she stuck to her decisions. She and Qiu Yiming were like two intersecting lines; once past the point of crossing, they could only move further apart and never return.
Sensitive to the change in Fang Yuxin’s mood, Qiu Yiming’s face stiffened. Recalling her cold demeanor when he saw her off yesterday, rage began to simmer within him. He clenched his fists hard, suppressing his anger, and turned to his subordinate, “It’s all settled, let’s continue on the road.”
Having said this, he made no move to leave but instead stayed and sat next to Fang Yuxin.
Qu Qianhe observed everything silently, sighing inwardly. She had once thought highly of Qiu Yiming, not only because of his good family background but because he was grounded and unlike some impetuous youth of today, lacking responsibility. More importantly, Fang Yuxin liked him.
But ever since Qiu Yiming’s ambiguous relationship with Fang Mengyao, her opinion of him had soured. Setting aside the grievances between Fang Mengyao and the Fang Family, as Fang Yuxin’s blood-related sister harboring inappropriate feelings for Qiu Yiming, he, as Fang Yuxin’s fiancé, should have maintained a distance.
No mother wishes to see her daughter’s love entangled with another woman. To her surprise, Fang Yuxin suddenly became indifferent towards Qiu Yiming, which she attributed to Fang Mengyao, causing her to dislike Qiu Yiming even more.
Had the two been married, she might have advised Fang Yuxin to work things out with Qiu Yiming, considering her daughter’s future. But presently unbound by marriage and seeing Fang Yuxin’s growing indifference, she would not force her daughter to compromise.
She had hoped that since they were both assigned separate missions and wouldn’t meet often, their feelings would naturally wane, especially given Fang Mengyao’s presence around Qiu Yiming, making a breakup easier. Unforeseen, however, was the sudden appearance of Mutant Zombies and the Zombie Leader, and Fang Yuxin’s plea for action, which drove Qiu Yiming to rush to her rescue out of worry.
She watched Qiu Yiming’s uninhibited care for Fang Yuxin and the affection that streamed from his eyes, feeling somewhat emotional. Having watched Qiu Yiming grow up, she would naturally be pleased if the two could come together. However, she could see that although Qiu Yiming still harbored feelings for Fang Yuxin, she no longer reciprocated.
As a mother, she couldn’t help but to be selfish. Perhaps it was unfair to Qiu Yiming, but no matter Fang Yuxin’s decision, she would support her daughter.
With that thought, she couldn’t help but glance at Bai Qianqian. At that look, she noticed Bai Qianqian staring angrily at Qiu Yiming, her plump, round face almost spewing flames.
The truck moved on, its journey made bumpy by the uneven road. Qiu Yiming, sitting next to Fang Yuxin, quickly wrapped an arm around her shoulder to support her when the vehicle swayed, and noticing Fang Yuxin’s stiffness, his eyes darkened, and his anger surged again.
Today, he was supposed to lead his team to salvage supplies and had kept a close watch around the city, hoping to find Bai Ye. Unfortunately, Bai Ye was elusive like a rat, and his plans to eliminate Bai Ye had to be postponed.
Loaded with supplies and just returned to the Safe Zone, he heard some rumors and discovered that Fang Yuxin had joined Zhou Yan on a rescue mission. Knowing this, jealousy nearly drove him mad. He had repeatedly asked Fang Yuxin to join his Mercenary Team and work together, but she refused each time, choosing to join Zhou Yan instead, which felt like a slap in the face!
