"It's obviously because you're unhappy that I brought you here. It's to relieve your unhappiness!" After her meaning had been misunderstood, she corrected him very seriously, "This is my secret base. I've already generously brought you here. You should give me face and enjoy this peace and quiet."

Of course Xiao Yiting understood, it was just that he did not want to touch the majestic and unmoving scars in his heart.

Because he knew that no matter how much consolation he had, he was unable to erase all of those wounds.

Rather than trying to comfort it, he might as well accept it, taking it out from time to time to feel pain.

Thus, he did not need anyone's consolation.

"I'm not unhappy." He denied it coldly.

"Stop lying." She looked at him and said, "I used to feel like you, swallowing sadness silently, and they would disappear with time, but then I realized that it was impossible. As long as you didn't face it, it would always exist, and from time to time it would torture you, and as time went on, it would spread through your body and mind like a poison until you died of it."

"So I gathered up my courage and told my dad. I thought my dad would be disappointed in me, or even take on the despair in my heart in my place, but he calmly said, it has already happened. Don't think that going to extremes is the only way out."

"If I go to the extreme, then I will force him to the extreme. My way of escaping will only harm those who love me."

"He, he brought me here as well. Tell me, with him here, I need not be afraid."

"Perhaps what I said is different from what happened to you. However, I must tell you, no one can defeat you except you."

In order to allow him to be happy, Lin Qingyan had taken the initiative to mention that shadow from two years ago.

Even after he walked out, the scar was still there.

If she could, she hoped she would never be mentioned again.

She actually opened up her own wound and shared the healing process for Xiao Yiting.

Even she was surprised at this' special gift 'of hers.

"…"

How could he not understand such a simple logic?

However, the words that came out of this woman's mouth were incomparably powerful.

She was like a palette.

Ever since she realized it, whether it was bright or dark, she was a special existence.

There was an infectious force in her.

When he was sad, it could affect his heart.

When he was happy, he would be able to infect his emotions.

Could it be that it was because of their similar background that they appreciated each other?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she was a bit embarrassed. With a red face, she said, "Actually, what I said might not be true, but I truly hope that you can open the knot in your heart and face it head on. You're so powerful, you can definitely do it!"

In the end, Lin Qingyan hoped that he could truly be happy.

When she saw his suppressed emotions in the Xiao Family earlier, even her heart was clenching for him.

She knew that if he wasn't happy, she wouldn't be happy.

Although she had been suppressing the urge to like him, she couldn't help but worry for him.

"That knot will never be untied." His cold voice was filled with regret.

Lin Qingyan pursed her lips and asked carefully: "Is it because of your mother?"

"You just heard what he said about my mother." Xiao Yiting's throat was choked, the bottom of his heart was sour, but he used a cold expression to wrap everything up.

"I think I can understand the grief in your heart. It's like someone is scolding me for having broken my shoes." She expressed empathy.

Xiao Yiting looked at her, his throat sliding, suddenly he didn't know what to say.

Lin Qingyan met his gaze and laughed leisurely: "Although I will be sad sometimes, I will not be like before, where I can be short-sighted. The last time I went through the same thing was entirely because of my father's death. "Ever since that incident two years ago, after I went out for a short meeting and was saved by my father, I swore that I would never be so arrogant again. Therefore, I chose to face it head on, even if it would hurt me, as long as I don't die of pain, I will live well."

Xiao Yiting stared at her with mixed feelings.

He seemed to see the sorrow hidden behind this woman's strength, but also saw the tenacity after her rebirth.

It was a type of energy that could infect people.

He seemed moved by her words and tried to communicate with her. "You're right, as long as you don't die of pain, you have to stay alive."

Lin Qingyan was surprised that he would respond.

"As long as Auntie is the best mother in your heart, you can do whatever others say." Lin Qingyan said with a smile.

"Auntie?" Xiao Yiting suddenly corrected her: "Shouldn't you call me Grandma?"

"Ah …" I thought we were just playing husband and wife, it's not easy to call her by random names. " She scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

Xiao Yiting curled his lips and did not continue asking.

"You …" She looked at him carefully, the words at the tip of her tongue, but she didn't have the courage to ask.

"What?" He looked at her.

When their eyes met, she couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, there was a fire to roast it, which could cover up the reaction.

"Are you in a better mood?" She stared at him, caring about his answer.

"It seems a little better …" Instead of answering, he felt it in his heart.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

Xiao Yiting's curious gaze fell on her body. He saw her cutely hugging both of her knees with a slight smile floating on her face.

"Are you afraid of my sadness?" he could not help but ask.

"…" Her face flushed red, and in her flustered state, she replied, "You've comforted me before, so this time, it's my turn to comfort you."

So it was like this.

The corner of his mouth twitched as he said with mixed emotions, "This is the first time I've mentioned my mother to anyone."

"Auntie must be very beautiful, otherwise how can she have such a handsome son like you!" She couldn't help but praise him.

"It's Granny." Someone corrected him again.

"Cough, cough, cough …" "Yes, Grandma." She couldn't help but blush.

Previously, she thought that this man was strong, cold, and even a bit unreasonable. But now, his domineering tone could even cause her heart to palpitate.

Lin Qingyan, you are hopeless!

"My parents are both pretty good-looking." When he mentioned his parents, a proud smile blossomed on his face. "They are free lovers. They love each other so much that they view each other as their fate and can die for each other."

"Wow, really?" Lin Qingyan suddenly became interested. Supporting her chin, she asked with a face full of curiosity: "Can you tell me the story of your father-in-law's grandma's love affair?"

She looked like a little kid who wanted to hear a bedtime story, serious and cute at the same time.

Xiao Yiting faced her expression of anticipation and, for the first time, did not refuse.

and started to talk about how his parents realized they were in love...
