She raised the flashlight and shone it directly into Xu Nanhe’s eyes, mocking, “I thought it was a ghost.”

Xu Nanhe subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes.

“It would be better to run into a ghost,” Qin Buwan continued.

Having said that, she walked past Xu Nanhe in front of the emergency exit and went straight towards the ward.

As she passed Xu Nanhe, he grabbed Qin Buwan’s wrist.

Qin Buwan twisted her wrist forcefully, but couldn’t break free.

“Let go, or I’ll scream,” she turned back and stared at Xu Nanhe.

Her eyes were frighteningly cold, as cold as her hands.

In this place, Xu Nanhe didn’t dare to be presumptuous.

However, Xu Nanhe didn’t loosen his grip.

“Buwan, don’t be so ridiculous,” Xu Nanhe frowned slightly at her.

He had been waiting for her for hours. He didn’t know where she had gone. He thought she had come to the hospital by herself, so he had asked all the hospitals. He had also come to the school dormitory, but Qin Buwan was nowhere to be found.

“I’m being ridiculous?” Qin Buwan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

So, in his eyes, her falling into the lake and almost drowning was just being ridiculous, just a child’s play.

“If Qin Zhiyu had fallen into the lake today, would you still say it was ridiculous?” she retorted.

But just half a second after the words left her mouth, she curled her lips and said, “Forget it, it’s not important.”

She was just too full to go to Xi Garden/Estate today to humiliate herself.

But if it hadn’t been for Qin Zhiyu’s scheme today, she wouldn’t have known that Xu Nanhe already hated Qin Zhiyu to the point of life and death. For Qin Zhiyu, he even dared to go against Fu Yunshang, who he feared the most.

Xu Nanhe looked at her and said, “Zhiyu she…”

“Slap!” Just after saying two words, Qin Buwan slapped him.

“Sorry, Mr. Xu, I forgot to return this slap during the day,” Qin Buwan said, shaking her hand.

Immediately, a small patch of redness and swelling appeared on Xu Nanhe’s face.

Perhaps it was the sound of “Mr. Xu” that stung him, or perhaps it was because of the slap, Xu Nanhe’s face darkened.

He was silent for a few seconds, the hand holding her wrist tightened, and he dragged her in front of him, “You will get married next year, and no one will threaten my position!”

“You always rely on your father’s mistakes to recklessly hurt Zhiyu again and again, don’t you find it annoying?”

In the dim light, Qin Buwan looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar face in front of her.

“Of course, I find it annoying,” she said softly.

“What you find even more annoying is me.”

Xu Nanhe was indeed handsome. From childhood to adulthood, how could the face of a school hunk not be handsome? With distinct features and a tough yet delicate appearance, a pair of slightly drooping phoenix eyes, looking at a dog with affection, and on top of that, he had a clean temperament, refreshing and abstinent.

She once thought that he was her own. She had countless fantasies about what the scene would be like when they got married in the future, whether he would kiss her awake every morning and call her Mrs. Xu.

He once made her so infatuated that she couldn’t help but give him her life. No matter what he said, she would obey him. If he took the initiative to kiss her lightly, she would be so excited that she couldn’t sleep all night.

At this moment, the force with which he pinched her hand, the sharp pain, made her mind extremely clear.

“Let go,” she said to him expressionlessly.

He didn’t even have a shred of trust in her. It was meaningless, and she didn’t want to explain anything about these things.

From the day he started feeling sorry for Qin Zhiyu, she had completely lost Xu Nanhe.

Downstairs, a Maybach slowly stopped.

“Master, are you going up yourself or…” Shen Chuan walked to the rear window and gently knocked on the car window glass.

Fu Yunshang made a shushing gesture to him.

Through the car window, he silently looked at a certain position on the sixth floor.

Xu Nanhe and Qin Buwan’s figures were close together, as if they had made up again.

That’s right, so many years of feelings, it’s not something that can be let go of so easily. Even if only measured from the perspective of interests, Qin Buwan should have her reasons to persist.

After a while, Fu Yunshang withdrew his gaze, rolled down the car window, and handed Qin Buwan’s Jade Ring/Emerald Ring to Shen Chuan.

The taillights of the Maybach quickly disappeared into the distance.

…

“Qin Buwan, don’t go too far!” In the stairwell, Xu Nanhe raised his eyebrows slightly at Qin Buwan.

“Who are you saying is going too far?” Qin Buwan immediately sneered in response.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, on the night of their engagement banquet, she should have known that Xu Nanhe could no longer turn back.

That night, the Xu family arranged enough time and space for them, and even specially chose to hold the engagement banquet during Qin Buwan’s school holiday, so that they would have time to go on a trip alone for a while.

However, on that night, Qin Zhiyu suddenly had appendicitis at the banquet, and Xu Nanhe personally picked her up and sent her to the hospital. Although he was not the surgeon, Xu Nanhe took care of Qin Zhiyu in every possible way, and the honeymoon trip with Qin Buwan was naturally put on hold.

It’s ridiculous to say, Qin Buwan was with him in the last year of high school, and their kisses were always fleeting, not to mention sleeping together.

In the past, she thought that Xu Nanhe was a gentleman, but now, she felt that he was extremely disgusting. He was probably keeping himself for Qin Zhiyu.

She was twenty-three this year, Xu Nanhe was twenty-five, and Qin Zhiyu was nineteen.

Qin Zhiyu came to the Qin family at the age of twelve, and that year Xu Nanhe was already eighteen. Thinking about it, it was disgusting for an adult to be thinking about a child who hadn’t yet developed all day long.

He has the nerve to say that she’s going too far?

Xu Nanhe was silent for a few seconds, and replied in a deep voice, “You were the one who attacked Zhiyu first today, and now you won’t let the hospital…”

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Buwan slapped him again.

“This slap is for Mr. Xu to compare the slaps on Qin Zhiyu’s face and see if they are the same size,” she said with a slight smile.

She didn’t want to hear a single word about Qin Zhiyu. She just felt disgusted.

When she liked him, she thought that everything about him was good. When she was disappointed, she realized that she had been blind for so many years.

Xu Nanhe didn’t notice anything wrong with such an easily exposed trick.

She didn’t want to say another word to Xu Nanhe. She forcefully shook off his hand, bypassed him, and walked quickly towards the ward.

“Qin Buwan!” Xu Nanhe insisted on chasing after her, but suddenly someone reached out and stopped him.

Xu Nanhe turned his head to look, and was about to flare up, but he stopped speaking the moment he saw who it was.

It was Shen Chuan.
