BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35
He turned his head around in a panic and looked at the woman. “Qing Qing, it’s not like that!”
“I believe you.”
Ning Qing was very calm and did not show any distrust.
She responded too quickly, causing his explanation to be stuck in his throat.
Ning Qing stared at Nian Lie intently and retorted, “Have you slept with fewer women?”
Nian Lie looked at her coldly and pressed the cigarette butt between his fingers into his palm.
It hurt and made him remain indifferent.
However, his silence was a silent agreement in Ning Qing’s eyes.
Her brows were filled with mockery, and her words were even more hurtful than blades.
“What right do you have to criticize others?”
A cold smile appeared on Nian Lie’s thin lips.
“What about you?”
“…”
“You went to the old residence to see my mother this morning. Then, you went out with him.”
Nian Lie raised his hand and pointed at Yan Sichen, his eyes red.
“Ning Qing, it turns out that your judgment of a person’s character varies from person to person.”
How could Ning Qing not hear his mockery? Her pale face tensed up. “Brother Sichen and I didn’t do anything. We’re not afraid of being criticized. We’re not like some people who have dirty thoughts and look at everything dirty.”
Who could not understand this metaphor?
Nian Lie’s face was as cold as ice. The fatigue in his heart made him not want to argue with her in front of a third person.
Otherwise, the situation would only become more and more ugly.
He grabbed Yan Sichen’s hand and forced it down inch by inch.
“This is the end, Sichen.”
“What are you trying to do?” Yan Sichen’s heart hurt, and he stubbornly resisted him secretly. “I won’t let you hurt Qing Qing…”
Nian Lie narrowed his eyes. “Who are you to stop me?”
“…”
Yan Sichen’s jaw clenched.
He felt helpless.
This was his weakest link to Nian Lie.
No matter what, Nian Lie was her legal husband.
And he was nothing.
But how could he be willing…
No!
He could not lose to him!
Competitive and indignant emotions intertwined. Yan Sichen held the man’s wrist tightly again. He said calmly with hidden strength, “I’m her brother.”
Nian Lie suddenly smiled faintly and bewitched everyone. However, he seemed to be laughing at his stupidity.
He opened his mouth to expose his own lie: “A brother without blood ties is nothing.”
Something shattered in his heart.
Yan Sichen did not have much strength to stop him. Nian Lie lowered his head and pushed him gently. Then, Yan Sichen’s hand let go and fell powerlessly.
Nian Lie easily pulled Ning Qing into his arms, and Yan Sichen’s eyes pricked.
Surface peace need not be maintained.
“I know your identity.”
Nian Lie warned coldly: “You… better not look for her again.”
“…”
“No matter what the reason is.”
As soon as his cold words fell, Nian Lie ignored the woman’s struggle and resistance. He hugged her forcefully and opened the door.
Yan Sichen wanted to chase after her, but he realized that he could not take that step no matter what.
The tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, leaving the entire room silent.
He lowered his eyes, the pain in them obvious.
He raised his trembling hand and touched his forehead, which was already covered in cold sweat.
The corners of his eyes turned red as he fell into deep thought.
Did she really trust him just now, or was it because… she did not care if that matter was true or false?
And that man was so bad to her, but she still relied on him.
It was because he was not good enough that Qing Qing did not like him, was it?
One after another, seemingly correct reasons could not hide the sadness from him.
Yan Sichen smiled bitterly.
He sat down slowly as if in slow motion.
He was like a statue and did not move for a long time.
