C62

Yin Qinghuan had never once thought about what would happen to Qi Yan if she died in front of her.

But just now, when the elevator suddenly fell down, what she felt wasn't pain in her heart, but suffocation.

However, it turned out that she could stop loving him, but she could not erase his feelings for her for the past ten years.

It was a man she had loved for ten years. If love is easy to forget, then it just means... You haven't really loved.

Unknowingly, someone had already helped Yin Qinghuan back to the design department. Yi Chen brought her a cup of hot water. Seeing that the woman was still in a trance, she asked, "Are you okay?"

It seemed that he was quite frightened.

Only then did Yin Qinghuan withdraw her sluggish gaze. She looked at Yi Chen and took the cup of hot water. Only then did she realize that her palms were wet and cold.

"Thank you."

"Fortunately, nothing big happened."

Yi Chen had also just gone to the scene. After knowing that Yin Qinghuan had been rescued, the elevator descended once again. He fell from the 12th to the 8th floor, but fortunately, the elevator stopped once again.

He didn't even dare to think about it. If he didn't stop, the people inside would have …

When Joanne returned to the design department, she saw Yi Chen and Yin Qinghuan "asking questions". She really wanted to go up and ask Yin Qinghuan some questions, but with Yi Chen beside her, she endured it.

He really scared her to death just now. If it wasn't for Yin Qinghuan being rescued, Qi Yan Shang wouldn't have been in danger again.

It was a good thing that he was fine. Otherwise, Joanne would have definitely made Yin Qinghuan …

At this moment, in the director's office on the 21st floor.

Gu Wenliu narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and looked at the man with a bruised arm. He teased him, "If you survive a great disaster, you will surely have a blessing after all."

Although this wasn't considered a hero saving a beauty, a beauty that had experienced a disaster would probably give up her life sincerely.

Qi Yan Qi's eyes were cold, but he remained silent.

It was as if what happened just now was of no importance to him.

"Have you found the person you were supposed to look for?"

Gu Wenliu's smile froze. After a few seconds of hesitation, he asked that person.

"Since you're so concerned about it, why don't you go look for him yourself?"

Was admitting that he cared so much that it was hard for him?

It was a matter of concern. These two words did not exist here.

The man's gaze turned cold and his thin lips formed a line. A look of displeasure was written on his face.

Gu Wen Liu immediately understood and nodded his head helplessly: "Alright, pretend I didn't say what I just said." "He's still looking for it."

Although he suspected that Qiao Yino's disappearance was unusual, he had yet to find him. Gu Wenliu knew Qi Yan Shang's personality, so he decided to wait until news reached him.

After returning to the Yin house that night, Yin Qinghuan lay on her bed and thought about many things. This elevator accident had been a surprise but nothing had happened. She and he had nothing to do with each other.

Recalling Qi Yan Shang's words — 'Then let's die together', she really wanted to laugh.

That's because you haven't died. If he had really died once, it would be a pity for his life.

Yin Xiangze also came back tonight. He had been abroad for a long time this time. The first thing he did when he came back was to call her to the study.

"Brother, is there something you need from me?"

She thought that he would ask her if she had made any progress with Qi Yan, but what he asked was — —

"You want me to marry Joanne, eh?"

Yin Qinghuan's eyes were startled for a moment. So she was talking about this matter.

"You know, of all the pictures Mom showed me, the only one I knew was Joanne. Furthermore … Compared to the others, I think she's pretty good. "

"Good?" Yin Xiangze really couldn't tell what was good about Joanne.

How could Yin Qinghuan not hear the mockery in his voice? Yin Xiangze actually hated Joanna, too. She could feel it.

Weird, isn't it the same thing? Why do they even loathe each other?

"Brother, if you want me to be Mrs. Wei, shouldn't you clear the way first? "At present, Joanne is my only opponent. Whether it's the Jewelry Design Selection Competition or Qi Yan Shang, they all pose a threat to me."

Besides, her relationship with Joanne was now strained. Of course, the other side hadn't sensed it yet and thought that they were just putting on a show. However, if it really comes to a day where they lose all decorum, then it would be a head-on declaration of war.

"I don't like her."

Yin Xiangze was even more direct than her, but did he like it?

"Is marriage because you like it? "Then I don't like the other party either." she said, pursing her lips in mock injustice.

The meaning in her words was that she was willing to sacrifice her love and marriage for the Yin family and the Yin family. As the elder brother, how could he not be able to match up to her little sister?

It was the corners of the other party's lips that curled upwards slightly. "I actually can't tell that you don't like him."

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Why did the tone of her words sound so harsh?

Could it be that Yin Xiangze had already guessed that she actually liked Qi Yan Shang?

He thought that after she fell in love with Qi Yan Shang, she wouldn't work for him anymore? She did want to, but after all, her status was something that could be left to her.

"Qing Huan, you're different from before." Yin Xiangze cast a sidelong glance at the woman before him, his eyes as dark as the night. The curve of his lips turned cold.

The woman lowered her eyes and refused to look at him. However, she was not afraid in her heart. She smiled and said, "This means that I have grown up."

There are changes at every age, not to mention... She was also someone who had died once.

However, in Yin Xiangze's eyes, her change was sudden.

His sister had always been obedient. Even if he was usually arrogant, he would never disobey him, and would never do things that he did not like.

But lately, she had been very naughty. He was concealing something from him.

"Do you know who Qi Yan Shang gave to in the end?"

Yin Xiangze's sudden mention of this made her slow down for two seconds before she shook her head.

"I really don't know."

She was certain that he was not asking her, but rather … Maybe he already knew something.

"The scenery of An City is pretty good, what do you think of Director Xue?"

Yin Qinghuan clenched her hands into fists. He had indeed found out.

He knew that she had been to An City, that she had accompanied Qi Yan Shang to a banquet at the Xue Clan, and that she had watched Qi Yan Shang hand over the cooperation case to someone else.

The sudden silence was like dead silence.

She heard the man rise and move toward her. Her heart chilled with every step she took, but she could only stand stiffly, sweat trickling from her palms.

Yin Xiangze was only a hair's breadth away from her. He reached out his hand to caress her long hair. His movements seemed gentle, but to Yin Qinghuan, they were constantly trembling.

"Tell me, how far has our relationship progressed?"

The questioning voice was just as gentle as it had been before, but she could clearly feel the chill between the lines. Yin Qinghuan lowered her eyes as she tried her best to hide the waves in her eyes.

In truth, she was afraid that Yin Xiangze would go crazy and hurt her.

Taking a step back, the woman avoided his touch and looked up, meeting his dark eyes.

"Big brother, it's not what you think …"

Even if he knew all about it, she could 'quibble' with the truth. As for whether he believed it or not, that was his business.

"I've indeed been to An City and met that Director Xue before, but …"

"Speak."

Yin Xiangze's expression darkened. It was just a single word, but it was incredibly cold.

"But I think Qi Yanzhong brought me to An Cheng to humiliate me."

She wasn't making it up, that was true. Of course, not only had he humiliated her, he had also humiliated Yin Xiangze.

"He clearly knew that the Yin Clan wanted this cooperation, yet he gave it to the Xue Clan. Moreover, it was done in front of me. If it's not a humiliation, then what is?"

"You had sex with him?"

Yin Qinghuan: "…"

The woman shook her head naturally. Although she didn't know how much Yin Xiangze knew, she still wanted to keep her relationship with Qi Yan.

"That night in An City, Director Xue's sister accompanied him. I was next door, and I heard it all... He is humiliating me, humiliating the Yin family. "

She realized that her ability to invert right and wrong was becoming stronger and stronger, to the point where she almost believed that it was true.

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell me before?" Yin Xiangze was skeptical of what Yin Qinghuan was saying now. He no longer had the complete trust he once had.

Because she had her own thoughts.

The woman was silent for a moment before sighing helplessly. "Brother, you have high hopes for me, but I have let you down." I thought that I could turn the tide, change Qi Yan Shang's mind, and get the cooperation agreement back … It's my fault for overestimating myself. "

Looking at the pained expression on the woman's face, only she knew whether it was true or false. Yin Xiangze's thin lips curled up slightly. It was unknown when it had begun, but he had always maintained a safe distance from her. Her indistinct evasion and retreat seemed more like a kind of fear towards him.

"I don't blame you."

When the man's warm fingers touched her cheek, the light in Yin Qinghuan's eyes dimmed and she no longer dared to move.

"But you have to be obedient."

He would rather not have his disobedient little sister, understand?

She nodded and said she knew.

"If you think Joanne's a stumbling block for you, I'll handle it."

Inexplicably, when Yin Qinghuan heard the last two words, 'deal with', her body trembled. She didn't understand what Yin Xiangze meant.

As her mother wished, she had married Joanne. Or … Another way of handling it?

"Big brother, if you really don't like her, then …"

Before she could finish what she wanted to say, Yin Xiangze interrupted her with a cold voice.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. She won't become my wife."

There could only be one person who was Yin Xiangze's wife.

As long as she, the others … They didn't care at all.

After returning to her room, Yin Qinghuan closed the door and stuck her back to the edge of the door before letting out a sigh of relief.

Then, he remembered Yin Xiangze's words. He wouldn't marry Joanne, but he would help her get rid of the stumbling block.

Could it be that he wanted to …

Yin Qinghuan was only guessing and did not want to think in that direction. Although it was true that Joanne had let her down, but … She was going to punish Joanne, not injure her in a way that would hurt her life.

Or could it be that Yin Xiangze originally wanted to touch Joanne? He was afraid that one day, Joanne would expose the matter between them, so … No, nothing must happen to Joanne. Otherwise, who would be able to prove her innocence?
