That’s enough for today, the future is long.
He couldn’t push her too hard, or else she would only grow more resentful towards him.
"Xinlan, can I know why you despise me so much?" he asked the question that puzzled him inside, "Is it just because I plotted with Rong Mingyan against Rong Shaoze?"
Lin Xinlan glanced at him, her lips curving into a faint arc; he actually didn’t understand why she hated him.
Was he really playing dumb, or did he think she was the fool, oblivious to everything?
"Qiao Yiyang, since you’ve asked, I might as well speak plainly. You were also involved in the plot against my child, weren’t you?"
The man’s eyes solidified, and his expression changed slightly.
He hurriedly began to explain, "I’m sorry, at that time, I hadn’t realized my feelings for you. If I had known, I would never have hurt you like that."
"Enough, I don’t want to listen to anything, whatever your reasons are, the fact that you killed my child remains. Stay away from me in the future, I don’t want to see you again."
She turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist, his dark eyes brooding, and he said in a deep voice, "Xinlan, it’s not fair of you to treat me this way! The one who actually killed your child was Rong Shaoze, yet you can forgive him, treat him well, why can’t you forgive me?! Besides, at that time, we only intended to ruin Rong Shaoze’s reputation, not aware that he would actually kill your child. He is the real culprit who harmed you, you should hate him, not me!"
Lin Xinlan looked at him coldly, no longer even able to muster a mocking laugh.
Rong Mingyan hated Xuanyuan Bing’s descendants so much, how could he possibly let her child survive.
Yet he actually said that they just wanted to destroy Rong Shaoze’s reputation, without intending to really kill her child.
Heh, he could even utter such lies.
If Rong Shaoze truly hadn’t killed her child, probably they would have found some other way to get rid of him anyway.
Did he really think she was naive enough to believe their ’mercy’?
Twisting her wrist, she struggled out of his grip with force, and said with a displeased expression, "Forget it, let’s not talk about the past. I need to go, I hope you won’t stop me."
"Xinlan..." Qiao Yiyang was about to reach out for her again.
Lin Xinlan flew into a rage immediately, "I’m not in a good mood right now, stay away from me!"
Qiao Yiyang pursed his lips tightly, his body tensed as if he was struggling to restrain something.
Lin Xinlan turned and walked away, and he didn’t try to stop her again.
However, he clenched his hands tightly, trying to control the raging emotions inside him.
What should he do to make her accept him?
He felt so unreconciled in his heart, why did he face such rejection the first time he fell in love...
Lin Xinlan walked alone on the road, not knowing how long she had walked, when someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind.
Thinking it was Qiao Yiyang again, she turned around angrily, but upon seeing the person, she paused in surprise.
"Tao Hua, why is it you?"
Tao Hua looked at her coldly, forcefully pulled her to the side of the car, opened the door, and pushed her in.
"What are you doing?" she asked in shock.
Tao Hua said nothing, his face terrifyingly cold.
He got in the car, started it, and slammed the gas pedal, as the sports car sped away.
Lin Xinlan could clearly feel his hostility towards her, she fell silent, already guessing why he was angry.
Tao Hua didn’t say a word to her the entire drive, and after a long time, brought her to the seaside.
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward roughly.
Lin Xinlan couldn’t keep up with his pace and nearly tumbled to the ground.
