Qiao Xi's heart trembled, "What is he waiting for me to do?"

Thinking back to his reaction when she told him they wanted to break up, she still felt heartbroken.

That’s right, he did say that they couldn’t and wouldn’t separate, but he wanted her to sever ties with the Qiao family!

Qiao Xi felt very depressed. "Forget it, I won't go back to the hotel. Just tell Chu Lan... Forget it, don't say anything. I'll go to your place."

Tang Jin's phone rang. It was Chu Lan again. "Brother Jingshen and I have returned to our rooms... We have returned to our respective rooms. Long Junye is still sitting in the cafe, waiting for Qiao Xi. By the way, what's wrong with Qiao Xi? Why can't we contact her?"

Qiao Xi took Tang Jin's phone and said, "Chu Lan, I'm not going to your place tonight. I'm a little tired. I'm going to stay at Tang Jin's place for one night."

Chu Lan, "Qiao Xi, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just very tired."

Chu Lan, "Long Junye is still waiting for you in the cafe. His anxious expression is the same as the last time you were kidnapped and couldn't be found. I can see that he is very anxious."

Qiao Xi's chest choked. Why did he tell her all this? It made her sad and upset, but she was powerless. "It's okay to make him anxious. How can a grown man like him be trapped by love?"

Chu Lan, "It's not like you don't understand him. He loves you to the core, and you know that. Come back. Why torture each other? At least give him a call."

Qiao Xi, "No need, I'm hanging up."

"Hey!" Chu Lan was worried about them, but what could he do? Thinking of Long Junye's face, Chu Lan went downstairs.

"She said she won't be back, so don't wait any longer."

"Not coming back? Have you contacted her?" Long Junye was very confused.

Chu Lan didn't want to provoke him. "No, I didn't contact her. I asked Tang Jin, and he said Qiao Xi was too tired to treat people. The patient arranged a hotel for her tonight, but I don't know where it is, and Tang Jin doesn't know either."

Since you don’t know, that means you are unwilling to tell him, or you don’t want him to know.

Long Junye is a dignified and proud man. He has waited for such a long time, but she just didn't come back and didn't even return his phone calls. Is she so unwilling to face him?

"Okay, I got it. Let her have a good rest." Long Junye stood up and left. He felt a little dizzy and his feet were heavy. He felt like his legs were out of control again. How great would it be if she were still here?

I returned to the Dihaoyuan Villa alone.

Shen Ruyue came out, wearing a white dress and long hair, a bit like Qiao Xi's style, with a bright smile on her face, "Jun Ye, you're back?"

She was anxiously hoping that he would notice her clothes and be pleased.

Long Junye acted as if he saw it, just nodded slightly in response and walked straight into the house. He had a slight headache and thought he might be sick.

"Jun Ye, does the new dress I bought today look good on me?" Shen Ruyue turned around in front of him. The hem of her skirt was a little big, and she looked like a child waiting for praise from her teacher.

She had bought this skirt a long time ago. Since Long Junye liked Qiao Xi so much, she unconsciously wanted to become like Qiao Xi. After Qiao Xi left the villa, she changed into this skirt.

Long Junye stared at her and said, "This skirt doesn't suit you."

Shen Ruyue was a little disappointed. "I think it suits you very well. Look, it's so beautiful. I'm not that old. I'm a few months younger than you, right?"

"I never said I was young. Change back to your own style." Long Junye replied stiffly and went upstairs directly.

In fact, he was also telling her that Qiao Xi was his wife, and Shen Ruyue could only be Shen Ruyue, could only be his friend and his housekeeper.

Shen Ruyue was very disappointed. She didn't expect that she dressed up so carefully but he didn't even look at her. "Jun Ye, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."

"Not hungry." Long Junye didn't eat much at night, but he wasn't hungry at all. He returned to his room and locked the door casually, and almost put up a 'Do Not Disturb' sign.

He didn't take a shower and fell directly on the bed. The room was full of her scent. He seemed to see her in front of him. How great it would be if she were there!

"Qiao Xi, how can you just leave like that?!"

He felt weak all over and his mind was full of her. He had a dream about his parents. He wanted to run towards them and hug them, but they avoided him.

Especially his mother, who looked miserable, blaming him for being useless, not avenging his parents, and being with his enemy's daughter.

Long Junye was awakened in a cold sweat. He was frightened and tears rolled down his eyes. He wanted to do something for his parents, but he couldn't bear to leave Qiao Xi.

He even remembered that in his dream his mother seemed to scold him, scolding him for being so bewitched by a woman, and scolding him for being useless and irresponsible.

Long Junye walked to the bathroom with a dizzy head and poured some cold water on his face. He kept thinking about the dream, as if only this could dilute his longing and heartache for Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi lives with Tang Jin, and she misses him too, but what can she do?

She wanted to continue investigating. Since the killer in the previous attack was most likely from the Falcon Group, perhaps the unjust case of Qiao Jinnian and his wife was also related to the Falcon Group?

Perhaps, we can find a breakthrough in the Falcon Regiment?

What hurt her was not only the separation from Long Junye, but what hurt her even more was that if all this was just a conspiracy by Yue Mingzhu and his wife, then wouldn’t they be too wronged?

But all the evidence points to Qiao Jinnian and his wife. She can only solve the mystery of that year by finding new evidence.

Long Junye also hoped that all this was just a conspiracy between Yue Mingzhu and Fang Hongwei, but he investigated several people who knew the inside story and provided impeccable evidence, which made it impossible for him not to believe it.

After getting up in the morning, he did not go to the company, but went to the hospital first. He felt dizzy and wanted to ask Ling Mofan for some medicine. In fact, getting the medicine was just an excuse. His real purpose was to find Tang Jin to ask where Qiao Xi was.

When he saw Qiao Jin, he asked casually, "Where's Qiao Xi?"

Tang Jin didn't say he was at his house. "I went to treat someone until very late last night. They arranged a hotel for her, and I don't know where it is."

"Are you reciting? You recite so fluently." Long Junye felt that he was lying.

Tang Jin asked back, "Even if you know where she is, what can you do? Will you put aside the grudges of the previous generation and be with her without any worries?"

Long Junye was speechless. Yes, could he do it? If he couldn't do it, even if they were together, they would only torture each other. But being apart like this would be even more of a torture. "I want to see her. I have something to say to her."

"I don't know where she is." Tang Jin still insisted.

Long Junye's eyes darkened, "She's not at your place, is she? Tang Jin, I'm warning you, Qiao Xi is my woman, I won't allow her to live in another man's house, not even you!"

Tang Jin sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Long Junye was angry, and he didn't expect him to be so tough, "You can try!"
