Chapter 715: Chapter 712: A Car Accident Three Years Ago
"Let’s go, we’re going home."
Qin Jin suddenly grabbed Ye Zi and then yanked open the car door, stuffing her inside.
Because of her just-now request to break up, Qin Jin had sobered up significantly. After getting into the car, he didn’t even greet Gu Liancheng before starting the car and stepping on the accelerator.
Gu Liancheng, left standing there, was waving at the car that was gradually moving away, until it disappeared from her sight. Only then did she stretch out her hand to hail a taxi, open the door, and get in.
After giving her home address, she leaned back in the back seat of the cab and fell into a drowsy sleep.
Sitting in Qin Jin’s car, Ye Zi was silent the entire time, looking unhappily at the night scene outside the window.
She repeated Gu Liancheng’s words over and over in her mind, telling herself again and again, it’s okay, it’s okay, there’s nothing going on between him and Gu Liancheng.
But despite this, she still wanted to probe, to find out if their relationship was genuinely just that of ordinary friends.
As the car moved onto a secluded road, it suddenly came to a stop.
Qin Jin unbuckled his seatbelt, turned around to grab Ye Zi’s wrist, and with a rough motion, yanked her into his embrace.
Ye Zi was startled at first, but as soon as she realized what was happening, she started to struggle, "What are you doing? Let go..."
"Don’t move."
Qin Jin wrapped one arm around her body and clutched the back of her head with the other, forcefully pressing her to his chest.
"I’ve been drinking alcohol, but I didn’t look for an escort," he said.
A low and somewhat hoarse voice sounded in Ye Zi’s ear.
Ye Zi was still struggling, but it was in vain; whether pushing him or hitting him, he refused to let go.
Being held like this by him, Ye Zi suddenly felt aggrieved: "You didn’t find an escort, but the woman you’re with is of a higher class than an escort! After all, she is a jewelry designer!"
"Keep talking nonsense and see if I don’t kiss you to death," Qin Jin said with barely veiled anger. "I’ve already told you, there’s nothing between me and Gu Liancheng, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. Don’t you remember?"
"It’s precisely because I remember that I feel sad, because you break your promises..." Ye Zi’s head drooped slightly, her voice low: "I just don’t want to see you getting so close to other women; I don’t want to, not even a little bit..."
She admitted it; she was jealous, very, very jealous...
Qin Jin held her tightly, his voice low and husky: "I love you so much that I don’t even have time to spare, how could I bear to make you sad."
"I hate you..." Every time he would make her unhappy, then he would use words like these to appease her. Should she even believe him? Should she believe his sweet nothings?
"Listen to me." Qin Jin suddenly became serious. Letting go of Ye Zi, he cupped her face, forcing her to look him in the eye: "The reason I’ve been getting close to Gu Liancheng is because I am investigating something."
Ye Zi froze, and after a long while, she asked, "What are you investigating?"
Qin Jin’s eyes darkened, he briefly closed them, and when he opened them again, his gaze was tinged with pain: "My sister, Qin Ni, had a car accident three years ago. Because the driver who caused it fled the scene, she lost vital treatment time and died. To this day, the whereabouts of the hit-and-run driver remain unknown."
He was laughing, a laugh filled with helplessness and vivid clarity, and such an expression made one’s heart ache.
Ye Zi stared at him blankly, her mind a blank, and it took a long while before she managed to moisten her lips with difficulty: "Your biological sister..."
