It could be said that they were childhood friends, and they had grown up with each other. In her heart, he was the only one she would never marry!

However, that was not the case. Even if Old Man Ming had given them an order to get engaged, even if the marriage was about to end, he still treated her neither hot nor cold. She knew that in his heart, she was only his little sister.

She had once told herself that she wouldn't have to live like this for the rest of her life.

However, she couldn't do it. The dull light in his eyes was like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into her.

She wanted him to love her, no matter what!

"Linda, there aren't that many 'ifs' in this world, and it's even more impossible for me to answer your assumptions that didn't happen."

She was, he admitted, half right.

If it hadn't been for him, she would have been wounded with a weapon. It was impossible for him to let him stay in his villa, much less let so many security guards to protect her. He would even buy a plane ticket to see her off the moment he knew that she was going to look for him.

However, things were unpredictable. Who would have known that she would be injured by a spy rushing out of his villa just a short distance away?

"Jing Yan …" She wanted to ask something that she always wanted to, but she was afraid of offending Ming Yan, so she changed the topic: "Are you going to eat here tonight? It's getting late, should I ask Uncle Fu to have someone prepare it? "

"No need, I have to attend a social gathering tonight."

"Oh." Linda could not hide the disappointment on her face, but she forced herself to laugh, "Jingyan, what time do you want for tonight's social meetup?"

He clearly knew what she was thinking, but it was still the same as before, giving her no hope at all. "I don't know. It should be midnight. Have a good rest."

"Jing Yan, could it be that I wish for you to stay here and chat with me? Is that also a wish?"

"How is that little girl? I heard that she's been with you for the past few days, so your mood is a lot better." Mingyan, as always, avoided Linda's sad topic and looked away.

How could Linda not know that in this marriage she was the one who made love?

She could have respected him, but she wanted more.

With a bitter smile, Linda replied, "Shan Shan is very cute. She's a very pretty little girl."

"Mhm, today I will bring her back. Have a good rest first. When her body is better, I will send a plane to take you back."

He got up and prepared to leave, but Linda grabbed onto the corner of his shirt, ignoring the wound.

"Jing Yan."

Did he come to see me for so long that he had to leave?

Did he really have no feelings for her at all?

"Yes." He still nodded indifferently. He didn't stop her from pulling him, but he didn't show any reaction. It was precisely because of this that her heart was in so much pain.

"After my injuries have healed, I really can't accompany you by your side …" "Is that so?" Before she could even finish that last word, she was already hurt by the cold look on his face, and Linda had to change the subject again.

"Sorry, Jing Yan, I was too impatient."

"Linda, I remember from the moment grandpa told us to get engaged, we didn't have any feelings for each other, I only see you as my sister, and you know better than anyone else, so, don't let me repeat it, after this deal, when we go back to the country, I will ask grandpa to cancel the engagement."

"Rest well, I'll come visit you another day."

"Jing Yan, you clearly know that I can't do without you. Why do you insist on cancelling the engagement? Why …"

Just as he walked to the door, he heard the sound of someone crying sorrowfully, causing his hand to be forced to stop. He wanted to go in to report, but now he could only take a breather.

From Linda's crying, Kang Nian'an finally understood why Ming Jingyan was so cold and detached towards Linda. It turned out that it was because he wanted to resolve the marriage contract.

However, since it was to be dissolved, why did it have to be engaged?

"Come in."

Ming Yan's dignified and cold voice came from inside. Even if he wanted to ignore her, he couldn't. After all, she was the only one outside the door.

Kang Nian'an really had nothing to say to his insight.

However, she did not expect Mingyan to call her in under such circumstances. She was speechless.

He pushed the door open and revealed a small head. "Leader, that Shan Shan is asleep. I'll wait for you outside."

"Come in."

The same commanding tone, no refutations.

"…" Kang Nian An had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter. She raised her head with just a glance and was still met with the tears that Linda was a bit dissatisfied with.

Actually, she really didn't want to come in here to be a light bulb, she …

Sigh!

Who told her to be a follower without the right to make decisions?

"Go pick up the kid and go back."

F * ck.

Sansa had just fallen asleep.

Since you're taking her back, you shouldn't have let her sleep.

However, since you want to send her back to your villa, I'll endure it as long as I can see her.

"Yes, Leader."

Kang Nian'an turned and left without hesitation.

After she left, Ming Yan turned to look at Linda and said calmly: "Don't think about anything else, heal your wounds first. We'll talk about it when we return home."

"Jing Yan, is that girl called Shan Shan really the wrong person?"

"What are you trying to say?" Mingyan asked Linda, his eyes full of scrutiny.
