Chapter 2246: Chapter 50: Will You Come Back to Me Again?
Qin Qingqing’s small face changed slightly.
Her thoughts became chaotic due to Mo Ziye’s words.
She looked at his cold, stern profile and instinctively pursed her lips, "Say what?"
What did he want to hear?
Mo Ziye was already very angry.
This caused a mocking smile to form at the corner of his mouth, "Four years ago, you broke up with me because of your misunderstanding. Don’t you have anything to say to me?"
Compared to the cold, stern tone just now, his words were filled with sarcasm.
Qin Qingqing’s face suddenly turned pale.
Her heart felt as if it was pierced by an invisible steel needle, and a pang of pain spread instantly.
She couldn’t stop it even if she tried.
"Brother Ziyi, I’m sorry, it was my misunderstanding back then."
Back then, she misunderstood him, then her mother passed away, and later she hurriedly went abroad...
She indeed owed him an apology.
Since it involved her mother An Lin, Qin Qingqing had always been unable to move on.
When she was abroad, she once suffered from mild depression due to recurring nightmares... the wound was mercilessly torn open again by him, and once more she turned pale with pain.
"Is there nothing else but sorry?"
Mo Ziye ignored Qin Qingqing’s sadness and pressed on cruelly.
However, the confusion in Qin Qingqing’s eyes made his heart knot with frustration.
She didn’t know what else he wanted her to say.
She actually didn’t know.
Mo Ziye gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter.
After a long time, Qin Qingqing’s voice sounded again, "Brother Ziyi, besides sorry, I don’t know what else to say."
She still remembered the resolute words they exchanged when they broke up.
It was not just her; he was equally resolute.
On the day she went abroad, he stood before the security gate and spoke to her, "Qin Qingqing, think carefully. If you walk in, there will never be a possibility between us again."
The girl looked mournful, "..."
In the end, he was the first to turn and leave the airport.
Ever since four years ago, there was no possibility between them anymore.
He was the kind of person who did what he said.
So, he started dating before she returned.
The car was filled with suffocating silence.
Qin Qingqing looked at the man beside her, his fingers on the steering wheel slightly tinged with blue, and her heart felt a sharp pain.
It wasn’t until the car drove out of the city towards the suburbs that Qin Qingqing suddenly realized, "Brother Ziyi, where are we going?"
"To see Aunt An."
His words were devoid of any warmth.
He heard it in Qin Qingqing’s ear, and her heart seized painfully.
Since returning to the country, it was the first time he accompanied her to visit her mother.
She knew that during these four years, he often visited her mother.
When Mo Ziye held the fresh flowers that An Lin liked when she was alive and walked in front of Qin Qingqing, step by step approaching An Lin’s tombstone.
Waves of emotions surged once again in Qin Qingqing’s heart.
Before the tombstone, he crouched down, placed the bouquet on the ground in front of the tombstone.
Then he stood up, bowed three times to An Lin, and his warm, deep voice resonated in the quiet cemetery of the morning, "Good morning, Aunt An."
He turned his gaze and his eyes fell on the slender figure beside him.
From the depths of his deep, dark eyes, an emotion flickered, and he raised his hand to hold hers at her side.
He felt her hand stiffen slightly.
His gaze darkened, and he tightened his grip on her hand.
Thankfully, she only stiffened in his palm, not attempting to pull away.
After looking up at him briefly, she turned her gaze away, looking at the gentle smile on An Lin’s tombstone.
"Aunt An, for the past four years, I have come to visit you alone. I said before that when Qingqing returned to the country, I would accompany her to visit you..."
Listening to Mo Ziye’s warm, deep voice, a mist unknowingly covered Qin Qingqing’s eyes.
Her lips pressed tight, allowing the grief in her heart to overflow.
Suddenly, Mo Ziye’s gaze moved from the tombstone, he turned to lock eyes with her, asking word by word, "Do you want to come back to me?"
Qin Qingqing’s heart paused abruptly.
Her beautiful almond eyes widened in shock, unable to discern whether they held shock, sadness, or conflict, struggle... too many emotions intertwined, fluctuating, finally fading away bit by bit.
But in just a moment, it felt like experiencing a tidal ebb and flow.
Mo Ziye kept staring at her, watching every emotional change she had.
His heart felt like it was being tightened and tightened again, in such a way he couldn’t even tell what the feeling was.
"I... "
"Think carefully before answering."
Her words were coldly interrupted by him just after she opened her mouth.
He released her hand and turned his head again, looking at An Lin on the tombstone. freewebnøvel.coɱ
But his words were directed at Qin Qingqing, "If you go back to the Imperial City, Aunt An will be left alone in G City."
"I never said I would go back."
This time, Qin Qingqing answered quickly.
The tone carried a hint of urgency.
As if afraid that he would once again prevent her from speaking like just now if she was late even by a second.
The man beside her turned his head again.
An emotion flashed across his devastatingly handsome face, his eyes locked on her silently.
Qin Qingqing licked her lips that were a little dry and said, "My father spends half the year in the Imperial City accompanying my grandparents, so if I leave again, my mother will be lonely."
"Are you sure, do you keep your word?"
"I will try my best to make time to accompany them, but G City will always be my home."
Tears welled up in Qin Qingqing’s eyes.
Yet she met his penetrating gaze calmly.
This will always be her home.
The indifference and chill in the depths of Mo Ziye’s eyes were like encountering a spring breeze, completely dispelled, even though she hadn’t answered his previous question yet.
But she promised never to return to the Imperial City and not come back, this will always be her home.
In his heart, he felt at ease.
Even though there were still many issues between them.
However, solving one problem meant one less problem.
He became a bit more patient, his lips curling slightly, he raised his hand, long fingers caressing her cheek.
The slightly rough pads of his fingers met her tender skin, sparking a shiver between them.
Ripples emerged in his heart as well.
Wiping away the sparkle on her eyelashes, he ignored the faint pain in his heart, his gentle voice carrying reassuring firmness and confidence, "I will avenge Aunt An."
"Brother Ziyi..."
"Don’t say you don’t need me to avenge Aunt An."
"Brother Ziyi, can you tell me the truth?" Qin Qingqing shook her head; she wasn’t trying to say she didn’t want him to avenge her mother.
Mo Ziye’s gaze shifted slightly, he said coolly, "What?"
Qin Qingqing raised her hand again to wipe her eyes, gently asked, "Is your relationship with Shi Xi related to avenging my mother?"
"If you want to know the answer, exchange it for the question I asked."
After Mo Ziye finished speaking, he said a few words to An Lin and then turned around to leave.
Qin Qingqing looked at his resolute back, pressed her lips tightly, and quickly caught up with him.
