In the end, Sheng Liang did not turn around to look at her. As she watched his back disappear into the reception room, Qiao Xuan squatted down and bit the back of her hand, causing a bloody smell to instantly spread between her teeth. The back of her hand was badly mutilated, but she did not feel any pain.

Qiao Xuan didn't even know how she managed to return to her home. When they were almost home, Qi Luo sent her a photo, which showed Sheng Liang and Qi Luo walking out of the police station. Qiao Xuan smiled, and then, his face instantly filled with tears.

The company started working, but Qiao Xuan never went to work. Furthermore, Sheng Liang did not come to his house for a few days, so naturally, the Qiao Family members could guess what happened. Qiao Nan said angrily: "I already said, he is a scammer!"

Qiao’s mother sighed from the side, but he didn't know what to say.

Qiao Xuan forced out a smile and said: "This time, it's not his fault. I was the one who wanted to break up with him."

Qiao Nan looked at her in shock. "Why, could it be that the news online is true?

"Don't speak nonsense," Qiao Xuan stopped him from speaking further. "Those things have nothing to do with him."

Qiao Nan was a little confused. He had said that he was going to part ways with her, but he was actually protecting her. Her heart was really unfathomable, just like that little Luo who suddenly disappeared.

Qiao Nan carried this regret and returned to Yunnan. He said that he didn't want to have a girlfriend for a few years anymore.

That day was Sheng Yan's funeral, so Qiao Xuan hesitated for a long time before finally going. Although she would very likely meet Sheng Liang, she just wanted to go and see Luo Keke.

Luo Keke loved Sheng Yan so much, but now that Sheng Yan was dead, she didn't know how sad she was.

Qiao Xuan was dressed in black with a small white flower on her chest. By the time she arrived, the funeral had already started, and she was standing behind the crowd, bowing towards the tombstone together with them.

As the host was reciting the eulogy, Qiao Xuan's gaze swept through the crowd and saw Luo Keke standing at the very front. Her figure looked even more slender, as if a gust of wind could knock her down.

Qiao Xuan could only see the side of her face and overly white face. Although there was sorrow on her face, it was not so despair as she knew Luo Keke was also a strong woman.

She shifted her gaze and saw Sheng Liang in the first row. Beside him was Qi Luo with a face that seemed to be as small as a bird and as soft as a human.

Qiao Xuan's gaze returned to Sheng Liang, and looked at him for a long time. Even if it was just his back figure, it was already enough to make her heart beat wildly.

After the funeral, everyone left, leaving only Luo Keke standing there like a statue.

Sheng Liang walked over and said something to her, then turned around. Very naturally, Qi Luo took his arm.

Sheng Liang lifted his head and saw Qiao Xuan still standing at his original position.

Qi Luo also saw Qiao Xuan. Her expression changed as she said to Sheng Liang: "Let's go back. My dad is still waiting for you to discuss the matter of marriage."

Sheng Liang looked at her, then glanced at Qiao Xuan. Without saying a word, he and Qi Luo left.

laughed at himself. The reason Sheng Liang had been unwilling to tell her about the marriage earlier was actually because the person he wanted to marry was not her.

She did not regret her decision a few days ago. At least, she let Sheng Liang clearly understand his heart.

Qiao Xuan took a few steps forward, stood behind Luo Keke, and said in a shallow voice, "Keke, please do your best."

When Luo Keke heard her voice, he slowly turned his head, with a cold expression on his face that she had never seen before: "What are you doing here, have you forgotten that you're the one who indirectly caused his death?"

Qiao Xuan was startled, she never thought that Luo Keke would actually hate her. In that situation, she was only concerned with saving Sheng Liang and did not think too much about it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose …" Qiao Xuan still apologized.

Luo Keke laughed coldly: "What's the use of you apologizing now, he won't be able to live any longer. I know that you don't have to take responsibility, but I will never forgive you."

After Luo Keke finished speaking, he walked over to the front, leaving Qiao Xuan alone there.

Qiao Xuan looked at the black and white photo of Sheng Yan on the tombstone. Even she was unable to believe that what had happened that day was real.

The winter sunlight was still dim, but it stung Qiao Xuan's eyes.

She turned slowly and walked over to her car. In the distance, she saw someone standing there, as if waiting for her.

It was Luo Jie.

"Miss Qiao," Luo Jie nodded politely towards her.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Xuan seemed to have sensed something in his heart, but still waited for him to say it.

"About that," Luo Jie said, after pausing for a moment in slight difficulty. "Young Master Liang said that you don't need to go to work, you should rest at home for a while."

He must have added the last sentence himself.

Qiao Xuan had already expected this to happen, so he was not surprised at all. He replied lightly: "I understand."

"Miss Qiao …" Luo Jie saw Qiao Xuan open the car door, and unconsciously called out to her, as if wanting to say something.

Qiao Xuan turned her head to look at him and said, "Let him be at ease. I will return everything related to him."

"That's not what I meant," Luo Jie hurriedly explained, but Qiao Xuan had already gotten in the car and closed the door.

Luo Jie could only sigh from behind.

Qiao Xuan spent the entire first month in a muddled state. He did not find a job, nor did he go out.

Seeing her like this, the Qiao family's parents didn't dare to say anything to her. They would only ask occasionally, "What are your plans?"

Wearing his pajamas and holding onto a novel, Qiao Xuan replied without raising his head, "I don't want to go to work anymore."

The Qiao’s father saw this and could not help but say, "Isn't it just a loss of love?

The Qiao’s mother immediately pushed him out of the room and closed the door. He carefully asked Qiao Xuan: "Then, do you plan to continue like this forever?"

Qiao Xuan shook his head: "No, I want to start my own business, but I don't know what to do."

"So it's like that," the Qiao’s mother said. "This matter really cannot be rushed.

Qiao Xuan was quiet for a moment, then got down from the bed and said to the Qiao’s mother: "I'm going to the library, don't wait for me to eat lunch."

Being willing to go out was a good thing. Qiao’s mother immediately said: "Alright, be careful on the road."

Qiao Xuan changed into a new set of clothes and left the house. She did not drive the car, but walked to the subway station.

When they arrived at the library, Qiao Xuan borrowed a book and sat down on a seat. He wore earphones and quietly read a book, when the girl beside him suddenly pushed her. She took off her earphones and heard the girl whisper: "That person over there, he has been reading for a long time, do you know him?"
