He poured out all his grievances in one breath. In front of Qi Yan, he didn't need to pretend. He could talk and tell everything, just like the child sobbing in the corner.

Because he wanted to make her feel distressed, and also because she would feel distressed.

He was right, Qi Yan was indeed heartbroken.

She took some tissue and wiped his tears while explaining.

"I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now. It's my fault. Please stop crying, okay?"

As he spoke, he kissed the corners of Shen Rao's lips which were still stained with tears. The tears were salty and bitter, and his soft thin lips.

She soothed his emotions with kisses, and stroked the small of his back with her hands, gently stroking and coaxing him.

It was not until Shen Rao's body temperature returned to normal and even showed a slight tendency to rise that she stopped, rubbed the corners of his red and swollen eyes with her fingertips, and asked slowly.

"Have you forgiven me?"

Shen Rao didn't say a word. His eyelashes trembled when she touched them, and there were clear tears on them, and he choked.

"You, you haven't told me who you're thinking about yet."

"..."

Qi Yan paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and unconsciously clenched the paper ball in his hand.

Just when Shen Rao thought she wouldn't say anything, she opened her mouth.

"Actually, no one..."

Shen Rao thought she was making excuses again, but her next words made him completely silent.

"I just remembered my mother. Before she left for her last mission, she made a promise with me that she would take me to the amusement park when she came back this time."

"But, she broke her promise."

Qi Yan's eyelids were droopy, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his steady voice could be heard to be heavy.

She never talked about Ms. Fu to anyone else.

After Fu Qingxuan passed away, this person was almost eliminated from her life.

The Qi family did not have much time to mourn the dead. Time passed quickly there, so quickly that it seemed to stand still.

It's not that they are not sad, it's that they don't see death as the end.

When someone disappears, someone else will take his/her place. When one person is gone, there will be thousands of people to take his/her place.

As long as the will is not dead, it is not death in the Qi family.

So Qi Yan never cried for Ms. Fu. She had no time to cry, nor did she need to cry.

There was even less chance to cry after the only person who treated her like a child disappeared.

She shouldn't cry. Crying is useless and her mother won't come back even if she cries.

But... why... her eyes are a little wet?

Shen Rao looked at her, pursed his lips tightly, hugged her in his arms, patted her back with his big hands, and spoke softly.

"It's okay, cry if you want."

"Qi Yan, you can cry. You are also a human being. You also have tear glands."

Qi Yan stopped his hands in mid-air and murmured.

"She clearly knew that I couldn't leave the Qi family. I knew she was lying to me. I didn't actually want to go to the amusement park. I just wanted to..."

I want her to stay with me for a while longer.

That was the only wish of little Qi Yan when he was young, a life filled with various schedules and trainings, which was both depressing and natural.

When she went on missions, she would occasionally bring some new toys to her mother, probably the rare ones with colorful colors.

Before she came of age, she was not allowed to leave the Qi family. This was a truth she had understood since before she could remember anything. In the end, Ms. Fu weaved an illusory dream for her.

It was not until the broken body was brought back and at the short but grand funeral that Xiao Qi Yan realized that she had been deceived.

That was the first time she was cheated in her life. It was very painful and she still feels the pain now.

What lie could be more painful than this?

No more.

Qi Yan closed her eyes tightly, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye. She leaned against Shen Rao for a long time without making a sound or moving.

Shen Rao patted her gently, feeling so distressed that he wanted to slap himself twice.

He could feel Qi Yan's distress. She was the kind of person who never spoke of her pain and waited for herself to heal, so she must have a lot of grievances hidden in her heart.

But she is so strong, so strong that it makes people feel distressed.

Shen Rao leaned his head against her, looking forward, memories flashing through his mind.

He has met Qi Yan's mother, Fu Qingxuan.

As my memory returns, the appearance of the handsome and elegant woman who broke through the window is still very clear.

She seemed to always have a smile on her face, and she had endless energy and spirit. When she walked towards him against the light, Xiao Shenrao thought he had met a god.

It turns out.

She was truly a god. She rescued him from numerous ambushes, and yet she was able to turn around and return to the thieves' den with ease, without hesitation or hesitation for even a second.

Ms. Fu is really good, she is good, her daughter is good too, and will be even better.

Shen Rao thought so and said so.

"Qi Yan, Ms. Fu is very good. She saved me and I am very grateful to her. You are also very good. You are her daughter and you will be even better."

His praise made the silent Qi Yan speak.

"I'm not as good as her."

She said sullenly.

Fu Qingxuan's life was not actually smooth.

She climbed to that position entirely on her own, and even though she married into the Qi family, she never used the Qi family's power.

She didn't spend much time in the Qi family. It can be said that she married for love and devoted her entire life to her career.

She is a person with real love.

Qi Yan admits that she does not have such a strong sense of career and justice, and is not as good as her mother at all.

Shen Rao shook his head in disapproval, held her head, looked straight into her eyes, and said seriously.

"She's fine, you're fine, you're all fine."

"You helped those who were oppressed by Han Ting to overturn their convictions, and you also visited their families and sent them condolence money in the name of the government."

"Zou Bai's family has people sweeping their graves regularly. You asked someone to do it, right?"

"After Zuishengju was closed down, you asked someone to introduce jobs to those girls who were unemployed and in difficult situations."

"During the time you were delivering food, you encountered a delivery man who was in a car accident. You knew he was in trouble, so you called an ambulance and secretly paid for his medical expenses. Then you only ate bread every day."

"Fan He's widow, Zhao Zhi, you are still paying attention to this. Some time ago, her subordinate Zhou Ran was caught holding a large party and became a hot topic. Her company wanted to terminate her contract. You were the one who suppressed her, right?"

"Three years ago, you also took away the little flowers you used to feed on the roadside, right?"

"..."

"You took the cat away and left me behind."

At the end, Shen Rao grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Qi Yan, you remember all the good things that happened to you. You are really very good, so don't underestimate yourself."

He paused, then added, leaning against Qi Yan's forehead.

"Of course, it would be even better if you remember to take me with you."

"..."

Qi Yan didn't know where he knew so much, but she did not let Bai Ya keep these things secret.

She lowered her eyes, and Shen Rao used his warm fingertips to wipe away the remaining tears for her, kissed the corner of her lips lightly, and spoke tenderly.

"You are so good, how could I not love you? No one can help but fall in love with you."

"I'm just one of them, and I'm lucky you don't hate me either."

"I want to hide you. If others knew how good you were, they would definitely come to snatch you from me. But you are a person, not an object. You can't be snatched away by others."

"So, Qi Yan, choose me."
