Qin Runnan looked at Nian Yangrong who suddenly appeared at the door and frowned, her tone carrying slight dissatisfaction.

"Mother, why have you come to my place?"

The place he had bought in private before, he had deliberately not informed Nian Yangrong. He did not expect her to come today uninvited.

However, Qin Runnan only needed to think for a bit to guess all of these things.

Just like how An Jiuyue questioned him — You actually believed Duan Feifei's words …

"Duan Feifei?" Qin Runnan's eyes revealed a sinister and cold look.

"This has nothing to do with the Secretary Duan. Runnan, you are the hope of our Qin Family, in order to make it stronger, you have no other choice other than to marry the An clan!"

"It's my freedom who I marry, not you."

Nian Yangrong looked at him in disbelief, "Say that again!"

Qin Runnan indifferently repeated what he had just said once again, word for word, "I, say, and, you, no, close! Nuannuan is only a little sister to me, I have no other intentions towards her. "

"Impudent!" How can marriage be changed with a single word of yours! Do you know what kind of good years An Nuanming had in order to wait so long for you?! "Do you know that you …"

"I don't know! I only know that An Jiuyue is very important to me. "

"Hehe …" With so much evidence in front of your eyes, would you rather believe such a vixen than me? "

Qin Runnan curled his fingers tightly together, and directly raised his head to look at Nian Yangrong when he heard the words "fox spirit". What surprised Nian Yangrong was that it was the first time Qin Runnan had met her with such a cautious gaze.

"Fox spirit?" If you are a fox spirit after getting divorced, then you don't have many good people among us, right? Nian Yangrong, after so many years, on account of the fact that you have treated me quite well, I have been treating you as my biological mother for so long, but … "

His tone paused for a second, "I forbid you from slandering An Jiuyue, and forbid you from saying a single word!"

"Alright, then you better be honest and get married! An Nuanming is such a good girl, how can you not know how to cherish her? "

"From start to finish, I never said that I wanted to marry her. It was all because of you that presumptuously arranged this marriage for me. Now that there's such a thing happening, you can't blame anyone else."

After Qin Runnan finished speaking, he was about to rush out of the door to look for An Jiuyue. However, the outcome was that he was blocked by the bodyguards behind Nian Yangrong.

His eyes turned cold. "Scram."

"Runnan, are you really so determined to find that woman? An Nuanming is not any stronger than that woman? "

For the first time, Qin Runnan doubted himself, he started to ask himself if he really had any determination to live with An Jiuyue for the rest of his life.

However, a voice in his heart had told him that he had to clarify this matter with An Jiuyue.

"Qin Runnan!"

Nian Yangrong rushed out as if she had gone mad, looking at Qin Runnan who did not care about his reddened eyes, yet she stopped him. She, who was already over a hundred years old, was now as spirited as a young man.

"If you dare to take another step, I will make An Jiuyue disappear from this world!"

"In A City, no one has ever dared to say that to me."

"You can try and see if this old woman has the ability to do so! Or did you have the ability to hide An Jiuyue somewhere that I can't find! "

His answer was no.

Indeed, he had thought of hiding An Jiuyue somewhere but he couldn't hide from this woman.

"Qin Runnan, I put my words here today. If you want An Jiuyue to continue living in A City, you must go and be with An Nuanming!"

Qin Runnan looked at the anger on her face and smiled …

If he wanted An Jiuyue to change his mind and return to his side, he would either have to wipe away the scar on An Jiuyue's heart, or leave a deeper one.

He knew, no matter how much time passed, the relationship between them would not change. As long as An Jiuyue saw Nian Yangrong, he would inevitably think of the day when she was besieged by enemies in the company.

If, later on, there was any resemblance to the scene of that day, these memories would be brought back even more strongly.

As for the second method, Qin Runnan truly could not bear to see it.

He was someone who had experienced despair, and now he could clearly see why he had made such a huge contribution for a An Jiuyue back then.

He could have pretended that he didn't know anything and watched An Jiuyue and Li Tan walk onto an even darker path, or he could have used his hands and feet to wipe away the stain on his "An Jiuyue's" life …

However, he couldn't do it, not even if he had to try again!

It was precisely because he didn't want An Jiuyue to be left alone and without help, like he was when he was young, that he helped her.

After so many days had passed, Qin Runnan only felt that there was a change in that place in his heart when he looked at An Jiuyue, and the outer shell of the ice in his heart had melted.

Previously, he had extended a helping hand in order to prevent her from being destroyed. Now, he had personally destroyed her …

"Must we be together? Hehe … Qin Family is already the highest level in the city, why can't I, the owner of the highest level, receive love! "

"Love?" Nian Yangrong scoffed, "In the face of benefits, everything is but empty words. You resisted me for a woman, and now you want to throw away your Qin Family face for a woman. If you dare go out to look for her today, I'll make sure you don't see her tomorrow. "

Qin Runnan clenched his teeth and returned to the villa.

He knew that in this situation, if he were to vent his anger all of a sudden, the one who would suffer in the end would definitely be An Jiuyue.

He had already hurt that woman's heart. How could he bear to see her suffer again …

On the other side, in He Xueru's apartment.

An Jiuyue and He Xueru were both drunk and collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

He Xueru's situation was much better than An Jiuyue's. Although her face was slightly flushed, at least she was conscious, but An Jiuyue was still in a half conscious state.

He pulled He Xueru who was about to stand up, and spoke with a voice that carried the smell of alcohol that could be vaguely heard, "Don't go … "Accompany me, accompany me for another drink!"

"An Jiuyue you're drunk, I'll send you to your bed."

"I'm not going … You're not allowed to leave... "You're not allowed to leave …"

"Fine, fine, fine. I won't leave, I won't leave …"

He Xueru helplessly looked at An Jiuyue, who had slipped halfway down the sofa, and finally dragged him back to her bedroom with all of her strength.

Even if He Xueru wanted to leave now, she could only fall on the other side of the bed to catch his breath.

"An Jiuyue, why are you so heavy … He Xueru finally understood what it meant to be dead and sunken …

"Runnan..." An Jiuyue opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the figure sitting beside him vaguely reflected the man's appearance …

"What did you say?"

An Jiuyue's shout was too soft and too weak, to the point where He Xueru basically couldn't hear what she was saying clearly.

"Don't go, don't leave me behind …" Runnan... " An Jiuyue's voice was so weak that even the number of people listening couldn't be counted, it sounded like he was mumbling something stuck in his throat.

In order to hear what An Jiuyue wanted to do, He Xueru could only walk over and stick close to him.

In An Jiuyue's consciousness, that blurry "Qin Runnan" was slowly approaching her, once again approaching her …

However, the next thing that came to mind wasn't the man's gentle and domineering words again and again, but the ridicule from many people …

The first thing he saw was Li Tan's mother's ugly face, as well as his final words to the marriage...

"Where's An Jiuyue? "That bitch, if she dares to put on a green hat for you, I'll kill her!"

"Get the hell out of here!"

Then, it was Liu Qingyun's taunts, Duan Feifei's torments, replayed in her eyes again and again. But, she couldn't forget those parts that made one's head hurt to the point it felt like it was about to burst …

Suddenly, An Jiuyue saw a figure that was approaching her nonstop …

"Runnan..." She gently called out, hoping that the person would be closer, just a little …

But after that, she saw that "Qin Runnan" had hugged another woman in his embrace, and even called out to that person with a soft voice that she had never heard before …

Nuannuan...

An Jiuyue's heart was struck with pain, and she was unable to breathe. A piercing pain spread throughout her entire lungs.

She wanted to scream, to run and grab the man by the hem of his shirt and tell him not to leave her.

She had already experienced pain once, so how could God have the heart to do it again …

An Jiuyue chased after the "Qin Runnan" in her consciousness, extending her hand out, wanting to catch that back figure …

But just when her fingers were still a distance away, she fell down, and watched as the man carried Nuannuan into the darkness and never looked back again …

She tried her best to keep her mouth open, but no sound came out. She could only watch as the man left, as if he had sucked away the air around her …

An Jiuyue gave up...

Since she couldn't get it, she could only take care of her at the closest place to him.

Although he was unwilling, An Jiuyue knew that this was the best relationship between them.

As long as he didn't tell her to scram, even if she had to suffocate in this doomed love, she would hold on until the very last second …

It was just as Nian Yangrong had said, an orphan and a proud son of heaven: An Jiuyue, are you worthy?

She doesn't deserve it...

Qin Runnan, this is all that I can do for you.

"Runnan... Runnan... "

An Jiuyue unwittingly called out. This time, when He Xueru put her ear close to her mouth, he finally heard clearly what that moving lips had said.

He Xueru was stunned on the bed.

Runnan...

Qin Runnan!

She covered her mouth in shock. Although the company had long since spread the word that An Jiuyue had shamelessly climbed onto their superior's bed, she still treated it as a joke and laughed it off.

But now, he could personally hear An Jiuyue calling out to him in a low voice …

He Xueru looked at the change in An Jiuyue's expression, the tears that were left in the corner of her eyes, and the words that she could faintly hear …

"Don't go …"

He Xueru's heart ached, just how far did she have to secretly love a person to be able to call out that person's name in such a situation …
