“What you’ve just said, is it true?” Han Qilu shudders. Even his voice trembles.
Countless times in her heart, she tells herself to be cruel, to draw a clear line with him. Then, everything will go back to how things used to be. She’ll go back to the time when she was careful and with scruples.
It took less than a week for her personality to change in the Han residence. She became cold, quiet, and timid. She wants to change back to what she used to be, but then, that would be ridiculous.
Han Qilu husband? The
name is ironic. She doesn’t know why she said it. If she were to be given the choice, would she willingly call him that?
“Of course, I said… aaaaaahhhhh!” Her words are swallowed by Han Qilu. He kisses her, draining her breath. His hands firmly clasp her shoulders, releasing her as he loses his strength.
Exhausted, she fiercely pushes him as he slumps to the ground. Suddenly, she remembers the scene when Basa Li kissed him. Then she remembers what Lila said: “I’ve been with him.”
She raises her wrist and starts rubbing her lips. How nauseating, disgusting… .
As he watches her, Han Qilu’s brow
brow wrinkles. “Can’t you just forget?”
“No! That’s what I always say,” she says out loud. “Please stay a little further away from me. Obviously, as the future president of the Han Group, your actions are as dangerous as gangsters!”
“I’ve only flirted with you,” he says softly. “Don’t go, okay?”
“Oh… .” She sneers again. “Only me? Han Qilu, honestly, how many women have you bedded? I’m afraid you’ve used up all your fingers and toes counting. Or that… or can’t you remember more than that?”
Gritting his teeth, the green vein on Han Qilu’s forehead pops. “Who have you been listening to?”
Lila… he did
he did exactly that. But at that time, he wanted… In short, he’s only touched Lila. He’s never touched another woman. But in the end, it’s his loss. His eyes dodge hers.
A tear escapes her eyes, but she quickly raises her hand to erase the drop. She stubbornly says, “This junction… we have to stop here. After all, we were supposed to be two parallel lines.”
Finished, she picks herself off the ground and starts walking out.
“Stop!” His voice sounds threatening. She wants to ignore it, but her feet don’t listen. They refuse to go a step further.
His voice rings in her eardrum. “As her eardrum. “As I said, give it a week’s time. As long as you come back to me, we… .”
This time, she doesn’t stay any longer. She doesn’t hesitate to lift a foot out the door before shutting it behind her. As soon as she walks away, she gasps. With a gulp, tears unconsciously shed, wetting her skirt.
How can she be that brave? She really wanted to turn around and run into his arms but she can’t be trapped in his gentle facade. No matter which Han Qilu she faces, she can’t touch him.
Han Qilu, let’s stop whatever is between us.
